Yeah, truthfully you opened yourself up on this one. This community's taste stears clear away from almost all you have on your car.

I dont think it looks bad, but I am not a fan of it. I like certain wheels, and do not consider my self a volk d*ck as many on here are, however the wheels are so-so. They would be ok with perhaps subtracted or alternate mods.

Things that I would take off (remember its your car so do with it what you want) grille, entire front license plate and holder. The eye lids are not good looking, but i like the fact (with the tint) that you dont see much of any lights up front and color wise it looks cleaner without the crystal lights breaking up the flow of color. So Id prob ditch the eye lids since you took off the tint.

Get wheel spacers, itll look better.

So my score as that photo depicts it is a 1 out of 10.

What was going through your head when you bought that license plate frame holder for the front? I mean your engine mods are good. The navigation or whatever fine. But please put it back to stock. No grill too. Maybe get some better wheels with some more aggressive offsets.

Weak offsets, not a fan of the wheels, chrome grill, headlights, crooked Titek duct, plate frame. I'm not being a dick, but I don't like anything you did to your car.

3-4 overall.

Reasons for low score:

Drop-top instead of coupe

Ugly license plate holder

Cheap-looking rims

Modded head lights

Duct in bumper

Blingy grill


Your score will fall even lower if you are driving an automatic transmission. Is your car auto?

Here's my car. Simple and clean...and turbocharged. :

With those fixes and the tints gone you're off to a good start.

Looks like you might want to get some wheel spacers if you're gonna keep those rims - what are the widths and offset?
19x8.5 in front +45
19x9.5 in front +45 in the back

where do i get spacers from??

I rate it at a 4 as it is, cause it could be worse.
not that my opinion matters but I think you should aim for this...

...then get a nicer set of wheels.

plenty of vendors on here

look for the marketplace you should aim for a 25mm minimum spacer.... at that rate you should just go for better fitting rims

And we are being extra nice in our opinions, so be prepared to take negative opinions like a man. My opinion? Put the car back to stock, sell the stuff that on there in the Marketplace, and buy one tasteful mod.

I'm going to assume that a stock Z = 5/10. That gives you equal chance to move up or down the scale.

First off, you have carbon fiber everything which is overkill to me since you have a vert and you're not going to be racing it. -1

Second, you didn't even show us an engine pic. Clean bay = points. However... -1

Wheels are not appealing to me personally. -1

Grill and license plate up front are vulgar. -1

You removed the headlight tint, which looks pretty bad to me so +1

You have a couple mods which, if they do exist, are decent so +1

If my math is right, that gives you a 3/10. Sorry, truth can hurt.
