Exclamation My New Body Kit and Paint Work

Finally got around to taking some pics, and it started sprinkling/raining while I was taking the pics so that's why some shots have wet spots all over the car.

















REAR BLACK-OUT:
















PRO-SMOKED/PAINTED TAILS:











TINTED HEADS AND FIBERGLASS EYELIDS:












SIDESHOTS:











THESE NEXT TWO PICS I BELIEVE MY BODY SHOP GUY DID EXCELLENT WORK BLACKING OUT THAT AREA OF THE REAR FENDER TO BLEND INTO THE LINES OF THE TAIL LIGHT:











CF STRAKES:











CF MIRRORS:











AGENCY POWER:






SELF-PINSTRIPED:






SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF IT SO FAR??

And what do you think can be done to make it better?

hmm personally I don't like the stripe. I had custom stripes that I had removed. Just not my style, but thats a pretty awesome job you did! looks professional.

I think this look is very unique. The only thing that bothers me is your choice of rims. Besides that, I think it looks very nice. Most of the 8's here with the Mint Blue look ugly as hell. Keep up the good work.

Dude, why were you not at our cruise? Nice ride but I'm not feeling the headlight treatment or the sides but if you like it that's all that matters.

Looks good, the only thing that bothers me is the "cheap looking" eyelids. They are extremely noticable in the wrong kind of way... but everything on the car looks great!

This looks like tajabaho's old 8 (sorry to say) Thankfully it has a better paint job.

As much as i like the MintBlue front end, i really don't like the sides. It's still pretty cool that you have the entire kit though. Props to you regardless.

well obviously the first thing to come to mind is a lip spoiler or wing,,,
Or an aftermarket hood that has louvres or vents and you can continue your two tone into the outlets of the hood...

You think I should get a spoiler?? I had one but took it off cuz I thought I would want the car to stay low profile all around...since the bodykit is about 3-4 inches from the ground on the front, back, and sides

Ya it seems as though no one likes the rims haha, but I was just trying to get rid of anything shiny on the vehicle, and stay with my black/red theme of the interior...so I got flat black w/ red stripe rims!
