I think it would look better with a cf hatch and repaint the wheels gunmetal gray with a polished lip.
Just my .2

personally, it kind of looks off balance as far as your colors are with all the CF and such, if your car was black it would look better. You def. got some money to throw around though.

very nice wheels but horribly executed with that paint scheme, IMO. Hopefully you like them.

nice wheels, but imo you need to ditch the cw rears and spoiler and get a mg hatch to tie in with the hood and roof

wheels are nice but the carbon fiber sheme looks bad. The carbon fiber is placed so randomly it doesn't go to well.

I think you guys are being a bit too harsh. One would guess the OP has a theme in mind and just doesn't have all his parts installed yet. Hatch and sides must be on the way, both would complete the top and bottom portion of the car being all carbon fibered out. I see the black lips contrasting the CF, and the silver spokes contrasting the silver body. Red is clearly used as an accent color for lugs, vinyl ect, and would guess some more of that to be in the works. I'll wait till its all said and done to see if it visually all comes together.

It's not too bad, but to pull of the look you're going for...I think you should get a carbon hatch, maybe mastergrade and lose the spoiler. maybe think about getting the Cwest sides and front lip to complete the look.

I'd personally say that the Asuka hood would go great with that combo too.

As long as YOU'RE happy with it though, that's all that matters because it's YOU driving it, day in and day out. Besides, most of us are on budgets that don't leave much over for modding.

The contrast of colors throws me off, hard to see any lines which makes the see so beautiful. Nice effort for being different but not my style.
