..i dont want to do lines or any graphics next year but the i feel that it need some..not too crazy though in fact less that what i have now...my team mates want me to paint my rims red.
..somehow i aint feeling that either.. i sit with wifee and photochop the **** out my car but we aint feeling it..now keep in mind this is a MILD show car and i intend to keep it that way..im not putting too much **** to a point that i cant drive it anymore...I ve taken 11 trophy's this year in the carshows that ive attended.
give me ur sugestions plz...
Graphics - how much an where
wheels paint red - yes or no
if u can photochop something for me to give me ideas that would be good..if u cant its no big deal..
things that need to be done
repAint my front and back bunmper
fix side skirts and paint them
new slr fenders ( free ) so im gon use them
new black widdow wing
my radio that is been sitting in my house for the last year is finally going in
im putting my gay engine ground kit in
fiberglassing the interior
and put a hedder ( IF ANYONE GOT AN DC SPORT HEADDER 4 SALE HOLLA PLZ )
if enough money is present im removing the moldings

Rep Power: 270 Take note that these opinions are from worthless me 
The graphics look nice as you put it .. simple and not overly done.
The colored MR7s just don't look that great .. I'd probably agree to looking to get those changed over.
The new wing looks good - flows nice.
Another thing I might consider if I was you, perhaps painting the headlights white.
Maybe its just me.. but the car looks a little too plain <- not the best word, but not sure how to describe... I'd lean towards a light tint, but maybe thats me.

I think the racing hart c4's would look hot on your car.. but that's just me.. for some reason skyline stripes look hot down your car.. any color as long as it is tasteful..
I'm in love wtih your wing.. do you think it would fit on the coupe?
good looking ride.

Rep Power: 0 plain is sometimes good. if you get too much it'll make your car real tacky. keep it tasteful and classy. if i were you, first priority would be getting a carbon fiber hood, that'll help spice it up a bit. after that, maybe new wheels...18" glossy black wheels with a silver lip would look hot, it would match your projectors and carbon fiber hood, if you decide to get one. i would stay away from graphics, and DO NOT paint your existing wheels red, that would look super gross. also, you should paint your front grill black (keep the lip on that grill white). and paint that chrome strip on your trunk white as well. lose the emblem on the trunk and get it filled in and painted.

Rep Power: 363 instead of paint wheels maybe try powder coating but i'm not feelign that red. Maybe some different wheels all together. and it looks good clean without the graphics.

Rep Power: 0 imma be honest, im not feelin the stripe n the red rims. the first pic is a lot better. one thing I would recommend is dif rims if thats goin somewhat show. Motegi wheels arent the best to have for show.

Rep Power: 0 yo pitchy i think yer right...you need the red outside to go with teh red inside...as for the rims....go to www.axiswheels.com and chek out the TC Evo's they come with different color lips and they are interchangeable. love the fenders...about to buy those...and i think i just found the wing i been searching for. in my opinion tho....i would get a new kit maybe full bumpers? i mean yers looks good but u been rockin that for a year and a half and from when i saw you at import expressions in boston hahaha crazy show... get full bumpers or if you like lips just get the kaminari front and rear i like yer sides since i got them for my coupe. but keep doin it like u been looks legit

hey man, heres what i would do...
#1.. id paint/vynyl the interior all white... or... do everything black... and then keep carpets/seats/door inserts maybe headliner RED.. like JDM ep3' so door and dash and etc all white or dark charcoal.
probably charcoal to match steering wheel.
do like a red emblem on steering wheel to tie everything together
then i would either HIT ME UP and get some volks(i got 2 pimp sets 4x100 in stock) or id HIT ME UP and buy some 19" 2 peice racingharts 2 sets in stock...
then.. keep susp. setup keep kit.. then ur exterior doesnt have to scream RED and everything is clean. and not too busy.?

Rep Power: 559 dude, i think you should not do graphics or the red wheels. i think what would be more interesting is if you add the red color by strategically placing lights around your kit. like if you put little red neons/LEDs in the fender vent and let the red kind of reflect through there and fade out. but thats it. i think if you keep it subtle it will look MUCH better than the in your face graphics and rims.
thats just my opinion.
