I think it looks nice. I like the paint job, it's a nice color and it's different for sure. The only thing I don't like are the tail lights. I had them, but took them off. Overall, I think it's looking good.

Taillights are terrible. Everything else is pimp! You work for a bodyshop or something, cause that paint job looks good.

I think your cleared headlights, and chrome tails go good together actually

That green with chrome headlights and red tails wouldnt look right IMO.

Dont listen to people who say "lose the tails", 75% of the people who dont like them, have had them on there car at one time or another. Thats what kills me.

amazing. major props. i'm not a fan of the clear tails myself, but they don't look bad on your car. that color is so unique. it's great. if you were to change the color, i would also recommend that Si blue from the 6th gen, thats like the best color ever.
cf hood looks great on that color green though! and don't worry about people saying you 'shoulda got the ex', lower compression ratio means more boost hehe.
all it needs is some rims. good job man!!

Looks awesome man. I don't mind the green that much. Although blue would look sweet, you see alot more blue then green on the roads

2. go back to oem (maybe the 04)
3. the color just killed the car
4. definitely need rims!
5. get it lowered

dude, that's one of the most...well..unusual things i have ever seen but props to you for doing the work. 6th gen Blue SI would look a LOT better and get rid of those rediculous stock rims and rice tails and go Oem. Then drop 2 inches and get a nice sound system and you are good to go. Not really diging the rear end of that body kit. Looks wierd when there is a tail pipe sticking out one side and totall cutting off the lines of the kit compared to the other side. I'd think abnout a new body kit that's a lot less ricey and has more taste

Good work though just NOT my style

Why not just paint the taillights, you seem to know what yuor doing (understatement) so why not try that? Looks good, just drop and rims beside the other suggestion and that thing would be more pimp.
