Like the rims. Loose the altezza's/headlight blackouts, fix the hood. Good upgrade to the door panels.

They do make clear headlight covers, which look a hell of a lot better than those

I like the emblems. Are they from muffinbuster? The blackouts look ok but I like the look of the black headlights (the factory look). The wheels look much better than what you had. I am not usually a fan of billet grills but it looks good on yours with the emblem. The door panels look good.

+1...I also think some ZR1's would look better, but that's my opinion.

You realize you are wrong right? Those look to be Cragars, not TTII's or TTM's.

kinda reminds me of my car... looks like a piece of work when in the wrong hands, but with a little TLC it will get better
but good work so far, and as long as its just cosmetic stuff like it seems like it has been so far, nobody cares when all they can see is your back bumper

theyre not cobra rims i guess they'd be generic tt2s i got them from customwheelsmarket.com for $600. their website doesnt have a name on the brand and the boxes were just plain white and said chrome rims 17x9 on the side. yes it is in dire need of a cleaning it has been too damn cold. i also put in new carpet and leather seats. all the work hasnt been cosmetic new opti,wp, timing set, torque converter, knock sensor, crank shaft pos sensor, reluctor ring, oil pan gasket, timing cover, i've had to split my money between interior and parts just to keep it running. Suspension is next i sent bmr fab a pm but no response my stock shocks are throwing in the towel so my wallet goes where the broken parts take me. ive spent more at the mechanic than i paid for the car no ****. if i can ever get it all fixed a paint job and head and cam package from LE is in the future.

i would get an emblem on the nose it looks out of place with just that recess and no emblem. i would lose the giant punisher emblem or whatever it is a saw in the video on the hatch. along with what everyone else said.
