Love it or hate it- I loooove it!

I'll keep it short an simple: A few months ago, I got in a front end accident. It was cheaper to get a kit and use the money I saved to get the whole car painted. Here's the rundown- Insurance paid-$4600.00
Vizage Type-A Knock-off-736.00 delivered
20" Vizage rims w/like new tires-840.00 used
Aftermarket passenger fender- 104.00
Xenon Headlights- 440.00 with new 8000K DS2
PPG Gunmetal basecoat w/ sky blue/lavender pearl, windshield and labor-4100.00

The car looks like the stock color at some angles. When it's moving, it changes from a light blue metallic to a lavender- very subtle- not gaudy flip flop. At sundown, it's lavender all over. I LOVE it and I have gotten compliments all day. The first pic is stock. OK now rip me apart cuz I have 20" chrome and I need a drop .

Don't like the rims, but it looks great otherwise. In some of the pics, I can see the colors in the paint ... Definitely a great paint job.

need different wheels with very aggressive offsets. that mesh in the front bumper needs to be replaced with a nice intercooler, cooling a snail or a couple of them. that kit is very aggressive, i hope you car's performance can back it up.

The wheels are astoundingly awful. Not because they are chrome. They don't fit the style of the kit and the offsets are horrible. I'm not a fan of that kit, but the paint and fit look good.

Haha. It's a JP knock-off that I got from www.kgsengineering.com. I'm in NJ and it was only 736 delivered. As far as my rims, I can understand what you guys are saying, but I really like the way they look. When I can afford them, I plan to get a set of 20" TSW Thruxtons.

Very nice! I dig the rear valance on the kit. I won't mention the wheels, but the car looks awesome.

I think everyone has taken care of the wheel comments. Also drop that baby. The kit looks nice.

Kit and paint job look awsome, but I must agree with the others in saying I don't like the wheels, but to each his own.

the fact that you bought a knock off with insurance money i dont like support the real company but the fact that you molded your rear like me is cool and everyone already spoke about the rims so i wont overall i give u a B for creativity with the paint

If you really like it then you'll f*cking love it with more aggressive wheels. Good job though.

dangerously close to rice... paint looks ok though.

Edit: I suggest going with white wheels. Give the Gram Lights 57Maximum a look.
