YOU ARE WRONG ON ALL COUNTS!!!!! JAMAICAN FLAG HAS BLACK, GREEN AND YELLOW!!!!nitebeest said:
anyhow, nice ride bro, i dont agree wit the headlights/taillights, but everything else looks pretty nice imo. Its good to see something different every once in a while
Nice car, not feelin the engine bay but otherwise I like it.... did you paint the interior or is that the $500 vinyl/leather kit from JC Whitney? Let me know, I wanna do something like that... PM me if you are afraid of these damn pirates in here or IM me at SphynxJDM96
Hey thanks for all your input guys.
I know a lot of you don't like the bodykit and all. It was a big decision when I was doing the body whether to go Jdm or Kit. I chose that kit because it was one of the cleanist ones I found and Idk. I love the back bumper with black and it looks really good with a carbon fiber splitter. Which I don't have yet. Lol. Sometimes I do wish that I could've gone JDM though. I Love that look. But either is good for me.
I do ride with headrests and the only reason they are off in the picture is because it was at a show and the headrests covers don't fit good so I just pull the headrests. They're gonna be black soon so they'll be in when I put up more pics.
And the engine bay is done in a german flag. And I have no clue why I did that to tell you the truth. Lol. I just wanted something different. And some love it and some hate it.
And as for performance I'm getting headers and an MSD system soon. And much besides that Idk. A couple bolt ons maybe but I can't afford to really crack open the engine and do work, or turbo it at this point.
And thanks again for all your input. Good or bad. I'm just doing whatever appeals to me at the time.

And I forgot to mention that the airhorns are pretty loud...supposedly 149 dB but one time I washed the car and after wards the air horns turned into water guns for a bit so I think that they lost some of their spunk. Lol. The seat covers are cheapo ebay ones but they fit damn good for 40 bucks. Lol. And it is a standard not an automatic. I would fall asleep driving an auto.
I think that the body kit looks fine, as far as the exterior is concerned I think it will look good, just finish it. There is nothing wrong with having stock mirrors or a stock hood, however with that aggressive of a body kit and projectors I think you need something there. If I were you (all of this is just opinion of course, feel free to disregard it all,) I'd put on a carbon fiber hood, probably just OEM style, maybe one of the simpler vented hoods. For the mirrors I'd get something a little less bulky than the stock ones, (I hate the big stock mirrors) like some Spoon style ones that are either color matched or carbon fiber or some of the folding ones. I know you said you got rid of the spoiler that was on there, i think that was probably a good idea, I would go either wingless or with an Si one. Just no aftermarket universal crap please. Then just tint the windows and your set, maybe some black rims with a polished lip to go with the black/silver theme. As far as the interior, I think the seat's look kinda cool but I really hate the dash. i understand what you were trying to do however I think it just looks cheap. spray painted interiors ALWAYS look cheap. you should either get ones that are the stock color or if you really want to do that 2-tone interior get some of the stock pieces in the stock light grey color. That way the pieces won't look spray painted, you wont have to paint around the buttons, and the paint wont scratch or chip. Anyways, just my ideas, I think your car is close to being pretty nice, just needs some more thought and maybe some improvement in a couple areas. Just trying to help, hope you don't take it the wrong way, just giving my opinion/suggestions
Thnaks for the input man. I plan to get an OEM carbon hood. Clean though, not even winsheild wacher holes. And I want a carbon fiber splitter and crabon fiber mirrors as well. I was also considering a carbon fiber gas cap. And as far as a wing goes I'm not gonna geta nasty double decker or anything. I like the shaved look and if I get anything it's gonna be a carbon fiber M3 style lip or something. And as far as the interior goes I used vinyl and fabric paint and some strong spray paint. It turned out pretty good and the only parts where the paint cracked after like 4 months is the runners along the door and one handle. But thanks for the input and suggestions.
And to anyone. I don't know how to make the box quoting someone or something. Someone care to help me out with that. Lol.
