And that would be the first set of kaze fenders fitted and painted. I should get 2 more sets out this week.

    Sorry for being harsh, but it looks horrible and offensive in my opinion.

    If you take away the black stripes and those hood vents that look like they came from an Excel, as well as remove the tint from the tail lights I think it'd look pretty nice. But as it is now, I feel sorry for the poor car and I suspect a lot of people will point and laugh at it.

    Once again not trying to be rude, but you asked for honest opinions.

    Sorry but I'm going to have to agree with Spetz.

    There are only a few cars which look nice / are suitable for racing stripes.

    Not a fan of the scoops either - they remind me of the FPV's that come out with those really sh*tty plastic looking ricer scoops (that for some weird fucked up reason they put on at the factory!? 8O )
    The stripes aren't TOO bad, although it would of been better to either stick with them and carry them onto the front and rear bumpers or leave them altogether.
    Apart from that you're looking good! wheels are nice, kaze fenders look mint and its a clean car :thumright:

    Ok good feedback, exhaust was already in the centre when we bought car, didn't warrant the expense of moving it, stripes will not stay when car has full respray, we like the tail lights :D. Headlights were easy, just bake them in oven to soften glue, then paint and glue back together.

    If the tail lights stay it won't be the end of the world. But the stripes and vents MUST go.
    Also I think the headlights would look better if they were black housing but again this isn't the biggest issue

    I really like the tail lights they go well with the rear bar, I wouldn't take them off.

    Everything you have done to that car is ugly. Stock would be an improvement.

    You guys certainly wouldn't like the look of most of the FTOs in the UK
