Ok, for being 16, i think you're doing ok. I would personally put the stock tails back on, and maybe upgrade those rims.

yeah, i knew that would be coming, i just like the way the altezzas look on red cars. if i were to change the color of my car, i would prolly have keep the stock ones

lower it and put the stock tails back on. Red tail lights on a red car is much better looking than clear/red tails on a red car.

otherwise you look to be on the right track

Def a good start, rims will make it look better faster, cause a kit with factories looks like shit... do you still got your factory shift boot? Wanna sell it to me?

i say paint the inside of the altezas to match the car and it would look hot, other wise drop the altezas... also get rid of the miss-placed dead plate (the metal piece to the left of the clutch)

finish painting th einterior, i like the white just get rid of the rest of the grey (perhaps red ;) )

other then that rims and drop, a grille would look hot. put a light behind that cut out part in the bump... the the hvac mods if u haven't done that already, reverse gauges with indiglo needles.

or maybe save up and get turbo/2.4 and other performance mods...

do what ever u like its your car...

Tails look horrible. Other than that, looks good. New rims will definitely make it look a lot better.

The hood scoop looks good. Did you do it yourself.

bought the hood off ebay for 175 shipped. It needed to be finished up. It had most of the work on the hood scoop done. I just needed to finish the fibgerglassing where it had gotten bad and chipped. I took about an hour and chipped away all the loose paint/primer crap and finished off so it looks real nice. This was all on the bottom/lower half of teh scoop. Got the hood painted for 80 bucks. Painted teh mesh chrome myself. For about 250 bucks i got my custom one of a kind hood.

Damn, some of you guys are mean! If I had a car with a custom hood when I was 16, I would have thought I was THE SHIT. It looks like a real good start to me, and I like the altezza's.

I think the car looks good, and I like the the Hood, just like what the others say, I dont really care much for the altezzas but if you like them keep them, some white rims would make it look real clean, keep up the good work.

IMO the stock 95-96 front bumpers look nice with the "teeth" taken out. It's free too. Check mine out...

Good start man. Finish up the interior with some red, imo. Good luck.

hood scoop only looks like a mouth in that pic b/c you cant see how the scoop is actually raised up above the rest of the hood.

Thanks for all the comments

Is the scoop functional or just pretty??

Looking to mess with my hood a bit too but I wanna make it actually function.

I personally like the altezza lights. The stock are cool on red too but I would prefer the other. Again like one of the members said adding white rims would look pretty sweet too...since you got some white interior going on.

white 18's 7-8 spoke are def. on the list. I wanna fill in my ugly gap between the headlights though. looking for somekind of 97-99 front bumper. Not sure if i want stock or some kind of after market. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

The hood is just pretty:D lol, i dont know how/but have thought of ways to make it RAM air. but i am not to smart with motors.
