Not feeling the quad exhaust nor the red strip of the wheels. But to each his own. A more aggressive drop would make the car look better. Just my thoughts as well.

But if this is what you like, more power to you. Curious as to what wheels you're thinking about getting?

Agreed. I'm not going to even lie, I don't like the car at all but do what makes you happy as it is your car.

I like it except for the rims. I think if you had light coloured rims it would look good, I like rims that contrast the colour of the car. And it definitely needs a drop.

Im not feeling the hood or the wheels. The color has been done and the cars were to a much higher standard. If it were my car I would put HID fogs on it ASAP dump that bishh paint the chrome around the windows and I would get new wheels.

It doesn't look too bad but I agree with the others about the red lip on the wheels.

I kinda like it. I would add IS-F/eBay tails, HID fogs and drop it more. I think Wald would look better than INGS+1 - the more aggressive, the better with matte black.

I think it looks different. Not bad at all. Would change the wheels and drop it some. The color reminds me of the fiveaxis IS-F project car.

The thing I don't like about a repaint if its not a factory match color is that unless done right you can still see the factory paint in some areas. With that said, why ruin an expensive and quality factory paint job? With some more work, I guess it would turn out looking right.
