Looks interesting....I suggest ditching the exterior red trim, adding the chrome trim, and adding spacer to the rear wheel (since you modded the rear fenders),

i agree with what has already been said, about the trim, wheels and am kinda feelin the interior.
but i asked aquestion 2x on your last post and the are: what did not fit with the replica kit and who made it, and how do those fenders fit?

Best part about this car is the red interior. Props for the work you put into this car, but the red accents around the exterior makes the car look crappy.. :/

Like everyone else already said, the red accents on the exterior need to go and you need some more aggressive wheels or spacers in the rear. the interior turned out great and I'm still impressed by your body work.

I agree with the majority! Also, props on the blood, sweat, and tears put into the car.

+1 on what everyone said. The red accent on the exterior is kinda out of place. Besides that looks good. oh not a big fan of your headlights ditch them and maybe a retro of some sort LS430, q45 or even rx330 projectors would look nice.
