New Car, Comments 04 Winning Blue

Hey guys, just got this car. Its an 04 with an 07 rebuilt engine. DS-02 Dropstar rims with black blades. K&N Cold Air Intake, Greddy strut bar, expeed exhaust, Louis Vuitton accented interior, CF hood, and of course... Lambo Doors (welded) (... go ahead and rip on the doors, everyone does, but i enjoy them) Let me know what you guys think

Interesting... the DUB sticker on the back is a nice touch but you're missing the 20" Chrome stickers on the windows.

Well... It could have been nice but the wheels, doors, emblems, paint job, and interior kinda ruined it.

Out of curiousty why is there "louis vaton" interior but it has seat covers? Just something to think about.

I appreciate the criticism, i can handle it, im not much for arguing with people but i do appreciate the feedback, Always looking to improve. (even though according to some i might be too far to even recover) but the seat covers are because its winter and I dont want to damage any of the interior, just trying to keep it in better condition. And about the DUB emblem, I didnt put it there, and I might eventually remove it, I would rather have NO emblems on the car. Thanks again guys

Well, to each his own. We can be harsh sometimes, it's good you can handle though and didn't whine like a bitch about it

For me, I'm not feeling the heavy wheels on a sports car, or the emblems. The hood need to be black and have the mesh vents painted black as well. The LV interior is well..... I would have to see it up close. The black part on the bumper looks amateur, have the hood and that resprayed and it will work better.

Yeah, i agree with the hood, its like, formed into the fender. there is some serious chips and some cracks in the bumper so i was thinking of purchasing a new fender/body kit. Do you have any suggestions?

I hated the fact that it was auto... but i really like the rest of it. And i posted some interior pics at the top. Thanks again for the criticism, but some suggestions along with the "i hope this was free" comments would be helpful for me!! :p

If I had that car... I would start by removing the DUB badges and putting new wheels on it. That would go a pretty long way

Thanks!! do you know of any easy way to remove those damn emblems? i would also like to get rid of the RX 7 emblem on the back. I dont wanna chip any of the paint off, or if i do, if i could get a good way to repair it i would do it asap. And what kinds of rims/wheels would you suggest?

Try heating them up with a hair dryer or heat gun. Usually they're help on by an adhesive.

i literally just got the car. that intake costs about 300 dollars is full carbon fiber and as for the painted wheels, well personally id rather have them then ******* 20"s of eye sore and retarded ricer doors from 2fast2furious. I can state my opinion and personally I feel if you don't agree with what I said you are someone with literally the worst taste in cars I have ever seen and should have your keys and license turned in

I am not a fan of any of it.. but simply changing the wheels would really go a long way.
And about the doors.. they can be on the car sure.. but don't flip em up!

So are you suggesting to take my cold air intake and just make it a hot air intake? kinda defeats the purpose doesnt it?
