Talking Introdution to society, what do you think?

I finally have the exterior work on my car 99% ready (I'm still looking for a nice Grille I saw in Japan... very hard, very hard...), so I took my camera and took some Pics to post here because I'd like to hear what you guys have to say about it

Now, I've started with the engine, I've upgraded the Air/Exhaust System (RB Air duct, Revi and Catback), and also upgraded a little bit the brakes (Rotora Drilled/Slotted Rotors, SS Brake lines and Racing Pads). Next is the Mid-pipe and then I'll wait for the warranty to expire and upgrade to Turbo or Supercharger or whatever comes available in the next 2 years.

I hope you like the pictures

I agree about the grill. Would look cleaner without the strakes...

looks pretty good, that grill wouldnt be my first choice, but it matches with the wheels nice, so it all goes together and thats the most important thing!

Love the lip and the MS sides, and the wing! Looks great.

Were those pictures down by Palm Beach/Miami area? looks like a hotel down there....of course FL is full of hotels that look like that, lol!

Looks good man, keep it up!

Happy motoring!

It looks nice, I'm not a fan of the big tale but overall I think your car looks really nice.

Good job!

are those Falken Koblenz wheels? I almost got the same ones except black, car looks cool but I would agree the grill does take away from the look a bit, maybe if it was blacked out or something.

Some Answers

Thank you all for your comments on the car, now some answers:

1. I know about the grill but leaving it the OEM way doesn't quite make it for me, I feel something has to be done with it and this idea (thanks to Brodervodoo), was the best I could find and I think id does match with the general idea of the car. Now, I'm trying to get a Grille I saw In japan but no seccess so far. IF SOMEBODY, has some suggestions please let me know...

2. Yes, this are the Koblenz, I have 19''x9 with 245 front and back. At the beginning I tought they were black (they seemed blacj on their catalog) but I took the chance and to be honest I couldn't be happier with my choice. I think they really pass to the car and my idea of it

3. The pictures are in Aventura (between Miami & Fort Lauderdale), at a community center that they built here and I think they did a great design

4. About the rear bumper, I don't really like anything on hte market today, i haven't checked for a while but I don't see anything changing in the next year or so. Later, for sure.

5. Gracias Otrovago, veo que vives en Miami, por que no nos vemos el VIernes en Towers? Mandame un PM
