I'm not one to flame peoples rides, Its your car not mine. Personally I don't think it flows well with the car and makes it look "dated". But what is with your fenders and quarter panels being a different color ?

It may be weight reduction, but it doesn't fit these cars very well.

wow your going all out I do like the idea that the hatch window opens, I hate you cant circulate the air in these cars with the way the hatch is designed. The air just kinda gets trapped and it never really cools down. I guess I have to hook up the a/c again.

It would look good if it was painted the body color, but it being Carbon Fiber really doesn't look good at all.

There is just to much going on with that thing. Looks like you just bought a bunch of stuff and threw it on. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

If you're that concerned with weight reduction to do this and carbon fiber widebody, then why are you rolling around on what look to be at least 19s? I don't hate it as the hatch isn't that bad, but I don't like it because it's not good either.

And I didn't seem to see the handicap plate mod either!? j/k
