You must understand that many people on this forum will bandwagon once the ball starts rolling. You see, had maybe Andy at performance, or Cheston, or someone like Volk350z done this...people would be swinging from their nuts...because of their popularity on this forum.
Don't sweat it, I think your car is coming together nicely. Get some nice rims to go with the drop and lip, and you're looking pretty sharp.
To everybody else saying he "fukced" up his paint...chill out. OEM Paint has "glitter" in it too, so just keep your negativity to yourself. I don't see anyone bithcing about the flakes in the PPW or the new San Marino blue

OP, put up some better pictures of it in the daytime, I'm sure it'll look better and not so girly.

Yes, I do but not to that blatant extent as the OP's paint.

1st picture didnt help much but the better day pictures do show the glitter being subtle. Personally if I were to go this route I would have used house of kolor micro flake. Did the add the glitter in the clear or was it on the base coat? In any case the car looks decent and if you are looking for a body kit may I suggest the cwest cf lip kit on it.
Werd on that. I've been on this forum since 03 and I'd be a rich man if I got a $.05 for everytime that happened

I'm not going to judge because I haven't seen it in person. If the OP says it looks good I'm gonna take his word on it. I'd LOVE to see it in person. One of my biggest regrets about picking Redline was that the paint is flat. Props to OP for doing something unique even if most people don't like it.
