hell no, what are you on Crack?









I kid i kid...its sweeet

mag worthy im not sure... yea maybe, i think it might be missing something i cant really pinpoint it though. Hot none the less. Although i dont know how i feel about the front bumper paint job, defintly different though.

Edit: yea the rims PC'd black(im assuming or dark) will def look better, maybe thats what i was missing.

if you get a nice custom paint job.. "i like ANY candy w/e color" you will have a slightly better chance of getting into a mag... just my 2 cents

Here is a direct link to your post, it took me a few to find yours...

Nice, however... I'd paint the cf hood black to match, seems to offset the black to much imo. I know, it's CF.

please forgive my comments, as you asked for them. But honestly...the car just doesn't give me a "complete" feeling... You might need some significant mods. The Blitz kit is unique, but you kinda painted over them to take the focus away a little bit...and the paint does not match the CF... I can see the effort for sure, but you might still need a little work to blend everything in together. Just my 2 cents...please don't take offence.

You probably won't make it to Motortrend or Car and Driver but there are 20 other B and C grade magazines.

you might make it into a magazine in a collage of car show pictures or something of that sort but not a feature article and not a cover. The paint on your front bumper doesnt look right, it sticks out too much and looks out of place. The kit itself isnt my flavor really, but if you like it thats all that matters. Just my opinion...

your rims are too bright and paint your hood and it'll look a lot better.

Yeah, if you're gonna stick with the two-tone, paint the hood.

I'm sure you want the CF noticable (based on your interior) so maybe do fades on the vents like some others have done.

+1 gunmetal or darker rims. Paint the hood. Youre missing the obligatory stickers that seem to draw the mags attention. (As much as I hate to say it.) Interior looks nice.
If anything, if a magazine was going to do a story on cars that look clean and tastefully modified, you'd have a definate shot. /shrug

maybe im trippin but i think the Time Attacks on your car would look really nice. It would tastefully flow with your red pinstripes on your car!

Black Hood that matches your black top on your car with the black/red Time Attacks... that's pure sex!

I think the chrome look has gotta go, and some wider rims are a must. Lower suspension would look badazz too.

btw.. I think the rims look nice. Although maybe you could have the spokes painted to match the black and leave the polished lip.

Oh yeah.. and the pin striping isn't bad but I don't think it looks right on the front bumper.

Hey.. you wanted opinions and we're full of em.
