This is extremely blunt, but, I hate almost everything about your car. I can appreciate the money and effort you put into it, but in my opinion you've absolutely destroyed everything great about the FTO's styling.
And i'm not about to say something like that and not explain my position to you, so here goes.
We'll start from the front. No wait, loking at the front makes me want to start with something else. Colour.
Reg green orange white gold black. Not in that particular order. Not in any order infact.
Too many colours, no real cohesion between any of them.
Second up sort of follows from colour, lustre. Some of the car is shiny, some is flat. The boot is shiny, the black and gold graphics are matt.
Oh and I just noticed that I like the passenger side of your car much better. Remove the red centre caps and the creative sticker from the passenger side, copy this exact layout (espeically the indicator) onto the other side and you have a much better looking vehicle. While your removing that creative sticker also take off the side JDMimport sticker, the front tein sticker and the dub sticker. The front windscreen sticker, looks fine.
Now, back to the front end styling. Body kit pieces. Your front bar makes me think of a skyline, your sideskirts a supra. What the f**k? The sideskirts are not too bad, but the front bar looks really cheap, same goes for the rear bar. Oh and the exhuast. Holy jesus man, the tips are extremely long! Next up is the wing mirrors. They look too small. Oh oh and before your next respray try and get teh sideskirt "blended", it looks 100% better, again, in my opinion.
What I can see of the interior looks great, the rear spoiler suits the car for sure. And I like the bonnet, as well as the one windscreen wiper, but it needs to be either straight, and straight up, or like it is now, but lying in the "rest" position.
Again, just my opinion. And I can appreciate the work thats gone into the car, well done on that part. It's just not my cup of tea.

A+++ for effort & uniqueness I don’t mind it, & it does remind me of JDM style due to the black top half & white bottom half. Very popular in Japan with the Silvia (S13-S15), & AE86.
I think your car would look much better once you got the whole car in gloss paint or just a good ol' polish.
Got any pic of your interior, as I saw you got the red Sparco too

Sorry dude, JDM just doesn't do it for me.
In my eyes, Autosalon is a get together show casing everything you shouldn't do to a car.

i actually like it. case of the green eyed monster for some huh? lol. there are a couple of things i would change but hey it looks nice and give the guy some credit for going all out on his car. btw scarecrow i think that frontbar which u think is cheap is infact an original creative bar which is pretty rare. what rear spoiler is that??
