not feeling the mesh but overall its a nice car. Oddly, I don't think the wing looks that bad. Is it CF?

Nice, a drop would make it look a lot better. Congrats on your new engine.

thanks $lick rick
id love to get the si rear spoiler but no coupes had em over here, so what u think smooth or spoiler or try and get an si one
the reason i got the bodykit is because i smashed up my front bumper :roll:

i think my tint is a bit dark maybe lighter but do the sides and back
thanks for the feedback so far =)

that doesn't look bad at all... the only thing i don't like is that you have a little too much mesh... and yeah... drop is needed

the only spoiler i like is the mugen spoiler. what i would do if i was you is: i would get a good set of coilovers and shocks and straight slam the s**t out of your ride. im talkin like 2.5" - 3" drop then when your front bumper gets f**ked from all the scraping i would start thinking about dericing, but until then i would have fun! but if you dont decide on doing that, a drop of some sort should definetely be your priority

a drop and stock bumpers would do wonders.

I never did like RH C5's. But I do like the BC3 kit though. Of all wings at least you got a nice one.
