Not sure I like the grill something with the bottom mesh grill that throws it off for me, nice rims and body kits though!

Grill looks good, but the bottom looks sort of cheap. Looks like a body shop just went and spray'd it all without masking it up or was too lazy to remove the bumper/lower grill.

Glad to see the lip is back on and fitting nicely. How did you do it?

I have to agree with the rest, the bottom just doesn't flow for some reason. The grill reminds me of Hyundai Sonata new body style but it looks good

I'm sure....not digging the upper grill or the lower mesh grill. Maybe they look better in person. Looks like you got new wheels too. Can't see the wheels but don't think I'm too crazy about those either. Sorry Long, just telling it like I see it. No hard feelings.
Try some full view pics so that we can take it all in. Knowing your good taste it has to be better than my first impression is telling me.

Your car looks like a Chery sedan with Lexus headlights. Chery is a budget Chinese car manufacturer.
