#83012, "Exterior what should I do?"


          

Should I keep the way it is or do a complete make-over?

If you like it or aren't sure what you want to do, leave it the way it is. If you have the money and are ready for something new, go for it! emoji

I say keep it the way it is...the only thing I would change is the wing, rims, and hood!

I think a wing similar to this one would look sweet:



these rims:




And this hood!




just my 2 cents!

actually I have new wheels. I got ROJA Formula 7's just no pic's yet, also I got big brake kits and rear drum to disc conversion with aem upgrade brakes. I thinking about a carbonfiber hatch and hood, but who ever makes the hatch I would want them to do the hood so CF weave and quality finish would match.

That would look really good got_NX! I think the cf would really bring out the gunmetal in your graphics. That is why I recommended the gunmetal wheels as well.

It doesn't look like you mind the heavy chore of keeping white rims clean...so here is just another idea for you to think about with your wheels to kinda be a bit different. What about having gunmetal rims with the insides painted white. I don't mean the lip painted white. You know how you have the front face of the rim? well the inside walls of the main rim spokes themselves. I think that would look really hot!!!

I am thinking about doing that wiht mine but with silver instead of white. Just something different I guess, and at shows it every little bit helps!

i just noticed how funky the blitz kit looks from the side. I guess it just doesn't flow as much IMO. anyways, the graphics look good. If you take them off tho that sucks, because it is always a shame not getting the full use outa your money

Looks good. The rims do not flow that good, and a carbon fiber hood would be nice emoji

i think your car looks damn good, the blitz kit is still the nicest looking kit available for our car. Your graphics are right on the money with your paint sceme, i wouldnt change anything except for the rims, go with gunmetal for the sheer effect of flow

Agreed. I would have bought it a year ago when I first got my car if I wasn't such a broke ass. Blitz looks good and buddy club 2.

I would, personally, switched the side skirts to the "blitz lows" (the ones that only go up to the bottom of the door) because they are hands-down the nicest side skirt for our car, and I'd change the spoiler to the one Aggression showed (the fiberglass Combat or GT-R spoiler). And those rims would look okay, I guess, but I have seen them in person on a Talon and I didn't think they went with our car very well. I would definitely get something with a gunmetal center & polished lip in any case.

What ever you want to do!

Not my style but what makes you happy is what you are going to look at everyday...not us

I like your color, thats the color DJ420a needs to paint his car

The wing has to go...just the sight of that wing angers people

Rims..you took care of, other than that its pimpable emoji

if that was yours it looks way better with bomex

thats my 1 cent... i can't afford to loose the rest of my sense... cents*

I don't consider my car rice...I think poorly, or very badly done cars are ricers. I have all name brand shit under the hood of my car..nothing APC, 3A racing, Matrix, OBX, and I don't have one of those $50 exhausts thats sounds like a damm honda either...but that is my personal opinion on what ricers are. I call it a euro tuner...I noticed since I came to the forum alot of people here with the turbo's and HP have the sleepers. Which is kool in my book...

I'll give you my opinion take it or leave it. New wing, no graphics, carbon fiber hood. Of course its your car so do what you want. Also when people say euro-tuner they usually are refering to a European car such as VW's and bimmers.

It looks good, I just have never been a fan about side graphics and aluminum wings, actually back in the day i did want an APR Wing but I just changed my mind and started to dislike the look of aluminum wings. Ive always like just straight solid colors (metallics and candys are very nice =)) on cars with not too many graphics/stickers. But I do agree with you on the ricer thing, just cuz you have a body kit doesnt really mean you are a ricer imo, its just when the body kit fits like complete crap, painted with rattle can paint and stuff like that and when you can tell their number one shop for aftermarket parts/mods are from Pep Boys / AutoZone...
