and recently picked up a preface jdm bumper but looking to get a facelift one soon

Looking good so far. Like the wheels, but not so much the color. Do some Type-R Recaros in the front and get a JDM back seat maybe? Glad to hear youre out of your depression. Modding and taking care of my cars has always helped me battle that type of thing.
