Hey man, the car looks like the work was done well. I an not a personal fan of the large wing or the yellow painted interior, save the yellow two tone seats which I think are still tasteful. I would also personally leave that girll area black or silver the mesh screen I mean the yellow is a little overdone in that is simply everywhere and thus it lacks contrast. Very nicely done car though.

that does look a little rice but i had a yellow first gen with a big wing on it when i was 16. Actualy it was pretty much just like your car but a first gen and no turbo. The interior was all yellow and it had a kit on it.

wheels gotta go, some nice silver 17's would be good! paint the front mesh black, it looks like they got lazy, and didnt mask off the grill ..... the interior looks good to me! if the plastics were spray painted, shame on you (lol.... been there, it will look good for a few months, then will end up looking really bad)... seats look good! dont care for the wing too much, but hey, if you like it, thats all that matters.... never seen that kit before, kinda looks skyline-ish..... who makes it, and how much... (just curious, its for an s4, so that cancels me out, im getting the gp kit anyways)... anyways...... its looking really good..... keep up the good work, its good that a few of us still think outside the box.... im tired of people telling me "keep it stock", or "looks too ricy".... defined as.... anything that makes a car stand out!! everyone that has said my car looks ricey, ive seen their cars, they are soo boring looking! i like to stand out... much like you!! good luck!

I definitely agree that the grill pieces would look better painted black. That'd make a big difference. If I were you, on such a light car, I would also consider 'smoking' the turns and FTP's with 'Nightshade' (perhaps taillights too). I'm not a big fan of the wheels either. But at the same time, it's not my car, it's yours. Congratulations on a fun project.

if you painted the car you didn't finish, if you had someone paint it for you, take it back and have them finish painting. the door jambs, man. things like that make a big differance, detailed. for contrast you could paint the door jambs black, would almost dis-appearing or ghost with a yellow that bright..

too late.

Definately not a fan of the interior colors, specially that yellow. The wheels look like something off of a lexus dub-bling car and that wing makes supras cry aswell as most FCs.

That is hideous. The color is too bright, the wing is for a Supra, the rims are chrome, YOU DIDN'T PAINT THE DOOR SEALS FOR CHRIST SAKES!!!!

I think from the pictures you took it's not too ricy. You got the aggressive look you wanted. Though some may say that anything not stock is too much.
What front bumper is that?

I'd put on new wheels.

S5 tail lights. And tighten up that leather on the door panels at least. In the seats it is expected to loosen a little, but the panels need tightening. Did you do all/most of this yourself?

ehhhhhhh... everything is cool cept for the "Omega, Type R34, SKYLINE style, or whatever knock-off name it is" bumper. wheels are the same cheap bling wheels you find on ford tempos and riced out civics sold to high school girls. interior is not soo bad for me. color is too bright. but props if you actually did a TII conversion. makes me think of blue racing stripes and flying robot stickers.
