Yeah I'm not really feeling the two tone, but it looks well done. I love the stance of your car though and those rolled fenders are nice.

Your wheels and fitment are badass, but the roof and the engine bay kill the whole car. If the whole thing was painted the same as the bottom half, it would be epic.

i like the 2 tone but u should have painted the hood and headlight covers to match,it would flow better that way.but if u like it the way it is then thas all what matters.at least u decided on a color,im planning on having mine painted in a couple weeks and still havnt decided on a color yet,lol.im thinking either white (but too common) or maybe black (again,too common) maybe lime green (fave color) or cherry blossom pink (total chick magnet lol) but who kno's,im running out of time though any ideas send me a pm

Dark blue, green, purple = wtf? Should've made it all match. Even if the whole car was the purple, it would be better than the blue/green 2 tone.

What's the color of the interior?

I love VS-XX's, and applaud your fitment.

I don't dig the two tone but I am into your engine bay. Just always leave the hood off.

Ahh cut the crazy paint- the brake m/s? no! Painting stock parts random colors is far from cool. In the end you'll see black looks better, not red or purple or green or blue. Like everyone else though, make the whole car the bottom color and pull up that exhaust. GREAT wheel setup though, props.
