Wheels. Definitely. Something lighter. What are they BTW?? Looks like a Cwest FD. Always liked them. Other than that, i've seen some pretty insane Cwest FD's. The color will definitely make your car stand out in a crowd. But now you need some HRE's fully polished to back it up. Make it Bling, yet still not cutting corners on quality of product.

That's a nice body job, but people will jump on you if you show a car....especially an FD when you don't have your 99 turn signals installed on a new bumper and screens in the grill instead of a front mount. I know the real C-West comes with screens for the oil cooler ducts, but get rid of the one over the main IC duct.

I think the C-West kit is pretty tight but way too many people have it. I also don't really like the color. I dont think any cars look any good gold.

I agree, the color does not fit the car. Plus, for some reason, it looks dull to me.

I can appreciate the quality of workmanship that went into the car, but it's not my cup of tee. In my opinion, not very many cars can pull off a gold paint scheme, and even with the beauty of an FD I think this example proves it al too well.
I like the Cwest front bumper design, but the rest of kit takes away from the already beautiful lines of the stock car. For instance, the rocker panel curve is totally lost in favor of a few useless dead-end vents, and a 2x4 aero affect. Also, the rear quarter panel now looks like a 1st gen Ford Probe. I don't mind customizing, and in some circles people might like body kits more than beauty, but the FD is hard one to improve upon without hacking up the lines. Even the Mazdaspeed kit poops on the FD’s beauty, and they should know better.
There is no doubt that this car will turn heads, and if I encountered it on the street, even I would do a double take of admiration.

To all pepole that says that the colour looks but ugly, it dont

It looks much nicer IRL than on those pictures
I was on gatebil(a carshow) and saw the car and it looks real good

and of what i saw the engine bay is either black or in the same colour as the car
At least the top of the thing the coilovers are atached too(dont know the english word) are in the colour of the car.
And the intake is polished
