Just because people give you constructive criticisms on your car doesn't mean they are haters. Also, it's good to be unique, but it has to be a in a good way.

maybe its the drop but those rims look like 17's ... i'm thinking you should of dropped first then got the rims or done both at the same time so you won't look like your trukin LOL..The rainbow rims can look nice with the right drop/ offset/ size but hard to pull it off even with the right rims... by the way what type of rims are yours? anyway you have a nice start, im waiting for your finished product...



these pics are gramlights 57pro titanium

The thing is, when you post on a forum on the internet, you are leaving it open for good and bad comments. You really have to expect both and not take all criticisms negatively. Sure there are people who just straight hate, but I believe most people on CL are just trying to help. When people criticize my car, I stop and think... maybe this doesn't look good. People say "As long as you are happy, that's all that matters", but I honesty would want to know if something I did was in bad taste. I've def been helped by CL members in that way.

OP - those wheels kill your car. Some of it is the lack of a drop, but I also agree with 9relude8 - you have to plan your mods carefully if you want to pull off the burned titanium/rainbow wheel look. Plus, the chrome wheel face looks cheap.

Swap those things out and you'll be back on the road to success.

The overall "look" isnt bad. I think you just have alot of good ideas that you want to put all in one "look". The wheels do not match the CF look that you have going on bro. Im loving the CF, and i like those wheels, but with the silver car, black CF, and rainbow wheels, it just doesnt blend very well. It screams contrast, although some contrast is good, too much is overkill. I like your tails, maybe if you changed the color of the kit, everything would flow better. Not hating, just giving you my opinion. Loving the roof too!!! Drop that bish, get a Greddy SE Exhaust, and paint your kit silver and you should be set!!

I think the drop will help with the look of the wheels. Right now they look so off because of the gap in the wheel well...when it sits better, they'll probably flow better.

props for being unique and sticking to what YOU like.

though something just feels little off but hard to pin point what that is..

happy modding

Your car reminds me of Photoshop, Grayscale car, and RGB color wheels.

Not hating, I love Photoshop.

I'd get the carbon fiber roof spoiler and trunk spoiler. Looks better, but I'm still not digging the wheels.
