Looks pretty clean. I like the kit, not a huge fan of the steering wheel though. And I rekon it'd look a whole lot better on some bigger rims.

Also enclose that pod lol. Either make a box, or better yet, contact MACE for one of their awesome cold air intakes.

pulled the black door belts of one side came up perfect but damaged the paint on the driver door doing the other side so going to repaint the bit i damaged and get the berlina/calais/ss style door belts and put them on will cover up the damage and look alot better than the black strip may go with the red pinstripe as well
