Absolutely beautiful project.

2 things...

1: Steering wheel is completely out of place, almost like it was forgotten.
2: All that work and no HID retrofit? Some Q45's would have taken the front end to a whole new level!

Umm...why is the driver's fender vent different from the passenger's?

Those screws are tastefully VIP in the polk audio covers.

Steering wheel needs to be switched out.

Hood should have been flush, looks out of place on the xB.

Other than that the car looks good.

Agreed on the steering wheel, why not get a garson one!

Wow, that is a nice piece of work. I was wondering with all that red and black going on, why he chose a gold fusa. Maybe to keep it traditional? I dunno... and I think I'm sure the steering wheel/shifter will be done up to match the rest given that it's still being worked on.

...and yeah, all that conversion work with no retrofit is a bit curious, my guess is that he wanted the lights to be projector-less

All in all, it's looking pretty sick [+1]

I liked it until I saw the front end conversion.

The hood looks like a spa cover.
