The fenders look like my corksports.
I don't think the car needs to be any lower, it just needs different wheels. It looks like you've only got two inches or so of ground clearance anyway.

umm... My opinion is that your car is pretty cool. Obviously you get a little bling factor for the fresh paint, body kit, carbon fiber hood and wheels. It's not really my style, there's a little bit too much going on. I'm all about simple, clean lines and I think it's somewhat difficult to achieve MY desired look with such a body kit. I would definitely paint the silver mesh in the front air dams flat black. It's distracting and adds too much competing color to the front of your car. Of course if your car was mine, I'd also VHT niteshade your turns and FTP's and give the car the FULL blue/black theme that it deserves. Orange and silver will kill any tasteful look (unless it's wheels).

Looks nice...once you fill out your fenders. And clean and paint your engine bay before your put your new engine in. Will look a WHOLE lot better. Even if you painted it flat black it would look real nice.
Nice blue. I love blue on the FCs.
And yes..Earl Sheib (sp?) is a chain...but most of his work Ive seen doesnt last very long. So beware. You definitely get what you pay for. Though if it was me and I was going to be drifting...I wouldnt spend anymore than you did either. Now...if it was a show/competition car, then yeah...I could see spending more.
Good job.

just wanna say it does look sweet and that's a good color blue. i'm not too fond of widebody kits but it is nice. rims are tight and i would like to get the info on them, though as static says, the rears would look better wit the spacers. good job and enjoy it. don't forget the info on the rims

like the paint job, but my opinion not many body kits look good on fc's, s5 bumpers, and a lip for the front with some lowering, and maybe a offset for the back..looks just as good as any body kit.
