Honest opinion.....
The color is nice, not sure if it goes with the car.
The strip along the side of the car should have been left black along with the side mirrors(as well as the trim on the hatch glass).
The mesh grill in your hood cut outs is too bright. Should have gone with a darker color, gunmetal or black.
As for the wheels...kinda hard to see the actual design. I'm not a big fan of black rims with polished lip.
A stock spoiler would really help the back end look a lot more aggressive.
I'd put the FTP lenses back in.
Placing my opinion aside....If you like the outcome of the vehicle then all I can have is respect toward you.

Nice job...one sudjestion. Get the muflers put on right.. there's nothing worse then mufflers facing the ground.... It's not my style but it's not my car.......Other then that if you like the car more power to ya, screw anyone who dogs your car...If you like it that's all that matters. What are your future plans?

Wow, we sure have a lot of idea's for other peoples cars!
I'm not sure that I will share the pictures of mine once it's all back together, you know what they say: Sticks and stones...
I thought that the color was a personal choice, not mine but his. I have seen great ideas on this forum as well as some not so great ones, that's what makes it interesting!
xmotocrossx04, hats off for daring to be different, but as you have seen FC owners are a fickle bunch!

Hey man.. keep doing what your doing and don't listen to anyone else.. at the end of the day after all the comments and suggestions your gonna be driving that car so if you like something do it if not don't
i wouldn't paint my car that colour but i think it looks nice, only thing i'd do is raise those mufflers a bit otherwise if you dropped the car they might hit when you go over speedbumps.. also another suggestion which a few ppl made is paint the tail light mouldings same as the body colour.. it'll flow better
if you can clearly see the tail lights when you press the brake during day/night don't worry about it.. other wise tone it down with the tint.. you wouldn't want some **** to rear end you and then get away with messing up that nice work because your taillights weren't visible??

i have a question for the owner...did you tent the tail lights or did you have them sprayed? i am trying to tint mine but i'm wondering does the tint work or is it better to get them sprayed....i love the car man...its unique and its 3 times as tight as most of the peoples cars that are talking **** on the forum so what i say is brush the haters off....
