Unique setup. I think the kit sticks out too far. Kinda like that 20 ft green civic but definately not as bad. If it was a little shorter it would look better. Maybe I'll change my mind once it's painted.

It looks much worse than it is, I was using a wide angle lens. It needs the wing, and paint, and 17x12s w/335s to balance it all out. There are 16" wheels on the front, and 17s on the rear that also make it look nose heavy. everyone that has seen it in person really likes it, but thanks for the input. Carl

That's awesome, anyone wanna try Royal Saphire Pearl, Or IBM? Thanks, I will posy a link to the wheels I am using, mesh looks good, but I'm gonna go 5 spoke, SSR SP1 rims(3 piece) 17x10.5, and 17x11.5 .
I like the wing being the same as the body color, I will do that for sure, it helps balance out the nose.

Um, I tried blue. Getting specific colors is beyond my capability. Like trying to match the color of your Supra would be impossible for me. I didn't do the wheels cause I wanted to do a different angle. The red one doesn't really show off the wideness.
