I kinda agree, but I think its because he has the body kit on, and it just seems like there is to much going on. If it was just the splitters it would look better imo. Still looks good though.

I have the Eibach multipro, so it a bad comparison. They both have their negative positive. I think Pro kit is best for street driving, but when you want some performance I think the coilover are better of the two choices.

It can be a bit extreme for some people. The splitter is functional though

I justed wanted a more aggressive look that also functional for the car. I have to get the car ready for SEMA so it going look more aggressive.

Cell phone photos kill it...

Car has some good stuff on there though

Dadhawk · 10-25-2012, 06:40 PM

Love the looks in general, hate the hood line (I've said this before on others). the black really needs to be extended down to right below the logo, cutting across the "tear duct corner" of the headlights.

In general though, looking good.

Mr.Jay · 10-25-2012, 06:58 PM

What do you got for gauges?

I see pods in you a pillar there

ebphoto · 10-26-2012, 12:36 AM

guessing the dme stuff will be out after SEMA?

You might be able to get it now, but I am pretty sure everyone out of the Sale office for SEMA. The parts are available now.

In reference to the hood line I realize that is the manufactured body line of the car, most likely selected for cost of production. I was just saying that if I were to go with a contrasting hood, I would also paint match that portion of the bumper cover to make it more pleasing to my eye.

I don't see this as any different than striping the hood and continuing the flow down to a more natural flow.

Your mileage may vary of course.

I am very displease with the whiteout because it tend to be difficult with for body shop to match the paint without the car being there. As oppose to other colors.
