Sweet, except for the stuff on the windshield. I'd paint the hood though.

I hope this is the last set of body kit you will put on your car.

I like the paint..

it looks kinda like cheat-ham's ride.

Can I tell you what I DON'T like about it?

I think the hood should be painted, and I never liked that front end, nor that rear (is that veilside?), but the sides are nice...I'd take that stuff off the windshield though.

What's under the hood?

that is the GT-C side and the veilside rear. the rear is coming off and the RE rear carbon fiber diffuser will take it's place.

I have a very good digi cam and I learn Photography before. Don't laugh. It's a good way to get girls.

actually when i first fit the bumper on, the intercooler has like 1 1/2 inch gap on the bottom like AARotary's car. i had to drill new holes and adjust the intercooler to make the gap dissapear.

okay, i just went over to the nearest body shop and painted the hood and removed all the stickers. the body shop is called " PHOTOSHOP "

well, that's how it's gonna look when it's done.

Awesome! Another GT-C kit owner.

Good call on painting the hood, it does "complete" the car more. Oh, since you've done the GT look, you gotta consider a GT wing. The stocker looks "squashed" onto the back. Need some elevation to balance out the look. A Corvis wing is nice. I've got the MazdaSpeed one but the endplates look too wimpy, IMO.

Good job!

PS. I remember you mentioned you fab the brackets for the race buckets yourself. Willing to fab and sell a set for me? Need passenger+driver side for a set of Sparco Pro2000.

is it a bucket or a recliable seat?? i could do it but it will take some time and you will have to send me your seat rails. i custom mine with the oem seat rail. i'm just too busy lately about alot of things. in my opinion, i don't think the cf wing is bad looking at all, but i just don't want to put it on because everycody has one and imo, i like lower wings because it gives that sleek look. nothing bad man, i think your car is bad *** hell.

It's tight. It'd be better if the hood was all blue.
