Looks good. What rear fender is that? Do you plan on painting the rear light cover?

Umm, I don't mean to rain on your parade as I see that you are very happy about your car, but here's a few things I noticed:

-The panel gaps in the whole front area look like they painted the pieces separately, and then bolted everything up, not even bothering to line up the parts at all, since they sit all wierd uneven, and crooked.

-The wheels are too big, and have horrible offset on the back that you can SEE in the second pic.

-I love the color and the front fender, but hate the way the front of the sideskirt lines up with the body, looks too "Tacked on" for me.

-The only "style" thing I think that I PERSONALY just don't like, are the stock pop up lights. All the other things are just a list of what was "Half assed" by the people working on your car. Umm, also it sits wierd, and the wing is kind of cool.

Well, other than that, nice FD man!

i think thats mainly caused by the headlight cover, and the hood, its hard to get a carbon fiber hood to fit perfect, if its not already 100% perfect from the get go.

For the offset on the rear wheels that guy was talking about...I wish more people went with offsets like that! The fitment looks sick. This is the burnout kit right? I like everything but the hood fitment and the front of the sideskirts!

nice car, but the wheels stick out in a goofy way, the alignment of the body panels need some attention and the paint seems to be mis-matched

I like it alot. But their are a few things I would like to see on it that I think would make it look even better.

1) RE Sleek Headlights (with housings painted same color)
2) Shaved rear side markers
3) BBS or that style rims (yours just aren't too sporty, they look ghetto and incongruent to the style of the car)

But that is just my opinion
