well i guess i'm going to be the first one that is going to say something bad about the car and i have to say that it's the bonnet.IMO it just looks wrong.Not too keen on the rear lights as well.Oh and where's the exhaust?Other than that the car looks good,the work on it looks great!

If you like the bonnet that's all that matters just not to my taste.
And do you have an aftermarket backbox?Cause it's a bit strange that we can't see the tailpipe/s?
