The color is ok, but it looks like they did a good job with it. Looks good.

I like it. I once thought about painting my car orange. Then I went back to black. I'm not much for the wing though. But I love the body kit. What kit is that?

No, i WAS going to buy the red one with a carbon fiber top from my friend jeff but he sold it to another friend of mine under me the folds of the wing is what i don't like, i think it would look like sex with a wangan wing tho, maybe someone can photocop it? hehe

i love that ****, the presence it holds, very bold to go with that color. i do like that hood scoop. makes it stand out more, and the drift wheel panals. hummmmmm i am telling you man, your project and mine are so along the same line, except well i am going with the Bomex back. same everything else you got. so i love it, the wing is a bit extreme for me. but **** it. its all about personality. you are what you ride. that why i tend to keep my 7 running in prime, cuz i hate my old daily donkey hahaha

I like it.

Personally the color looks WAY too much on this old of a car. Looking at it makes me feel weird about it.

I do like it though. Just maybe not on a FC.

And the wing just isn't happening for me. I would love your car if you didn' have one at all. That sir, would look hot.

I also think that you maybe need a contrasting color. Accents here and there. I personally wouldn't of had them paint the hatch.

I'm loving the kit. I have those same fenders sitting in my garage. Gonna use them to fix my dented fenders.

Those rims are sick. I have a black S5 n/a with gunmetal S5 TII/GTUs rims and love them... If I do go aftermarket those rims might just be the one's I get.

I'm liking it. I just like to nit-pick.

wow, that's a ... color...
don't like wing though

where's the exhaust?
also, hard to tell w/ the tire turned, but do you have big rubber up front? As long as the tire fills the fender, i think it will look good.

i put the stock exhaust back on, that way i didnt get overspray on my good exhaust......

the front wheels are 17x8 w/ a 30 offset w/ 225/45zr17's and they fit perfect...no fender overhang
