If I could make a recommendation: the CF hood looks out of place. Perhaps you should consider painting either the entire hood or parts of it. Or, consider adding the entire Seibon kit (a la RobsIS250).

Good luck.

LOL!! i love how im brought up in any CF or Seibon/Fitment conversation!!

Car should look good with some nice matte/Flat colored wheels (preferrably bronze) and a nice kit and stance... looks like your off to a good start! cant wait to see it when its complete

for now dont tease us!

u know how like its hard to maintain the cleanliness of a black car.... i wonder if its the same thing with that kind of black...

for me.. cars with flat blacks... looks like a warrior... like the car doesnt give a ***** for whatever happens..

thats good.. following your heart. happiness.

i would un-tint your car and matte the wheels. but otherwise, the body looks really nice.

This thread makes me laugh. You tell us "Tell me what you think" and then say "no flames?" It's almost backwards hypocritical. Makes no sense.
