I never will understand why people put tv screens in the trunk and now under the hood? That does nothing to enhance the look of the car. Sometimes less is more.
But still great overall effort!

First off, the interior is too overdone..I like the wheels and suspension..Black and red doesn't really blend well together, I wasn't sure if he wanted that stealth look or the red elegant look..Both don't go together too well...The VS looks nice with those wheels but, then again IForged Aero seems to look great on any car..

I like the exterior.. He did a good color combo... His interior is too much but understandable if he wants to make it a 'show' car.

I love that look and plan on eventually moving into a CF hood and leave the center CF... Steve sent me a picture of a blue IS300 like that and it looked great. I think someone else with a silver 400 has also done it and then painted the roof black and added a CF trunk to complete the look but I don't remember for sure... VERY SPORTY... Ricey but not too much if you leave off the stickers...



P.S. I don't think you can pull off the look all the way unless you have FI performance to back it up!
