I Apologize, but I must say that it`s just not my cup of tea, man.
The tailights, fenders, front bumper ... they are ... mmm ...

However, the paint looks great, though.

i kinda like is, but i would change a few things.

1. i hate the wheels... get some staggared 19s in silver or something.

2. i really wish you would have smoothed out the harsh line on the top of the rear fenders... it would have looked a whole lot cleaner.

3. get some exhaust, the stock exhaust looks way too sunken in.

4. the rear spoiler doesnt really flow with the rest of the kit too well. maybe something like the veilside would work a bit better.

other than that, its not really bad. i actually like how the tial lights turned out. not my taste, but they look clean.

i know your kit was hand crafted and your first attempt, but i really dont think the rear fenders work on the SC.

keep up the origionality though.

At first i didnt like the color matched rims, but after seeing the whole car i give you a thumbs up. Its an original design.

I gotta be honest here...I think it looks ok. Like Ki said, I would change a few things as well....

I would massage the rear fenders out and take a bit of the sharpness out. Then add a set of aggressive wheels with the stretched tires. I would have gone with the 97+ tails instead. It would look like an SC straight out of the Hyper Rev bible.

Here's what I like that you should not change:

- the Color(kandy apple red is hot)

- The progress(I think you said you did a lot of the work yourself right?)

- And above all, the Effort...so far, you've created an interesting machine.

I agree with kj soarer on those points. Still the fact that you did that yourself and it was your first try, it is amazing work. And I give you mad props on that!
