Default My car is ready to face the jury... LOOK

Alright guys, I'm finally ready to face the harsh opinion of the Appearance forum. I'll note now that I turbo'ed it since the picture was taken (I put the kit on the other night in my garage), and also in Colorado, nobody has JDM style. But I'm on the fence on how that plate looks, so tell me flat out what the dilly yo is.

I really like your car. Its pretty much the look I will be going for, more or less. The front plate is ok. Keep it on. Oh, do you have any pictures of the engine bay?

It looks good, but one question: How come the front lip and side skirts are flat? did they forget to clearcoat them?

Things I like :
Kept Stock color
CF hood
Wingless
Shaved
Nothing ricey that stands out..

Things I dont like :
Dropped far enough?
Lip and side skirts (not just the color)
Black wheels.

You asked for it, I gave it.. All in all I give it 4 out of 5 stars because I can handle black wheels and its a good drop really, but what kills the drop and the body is your ground kit there. Not only is it... something you buy for looks, but it also requires you to take bumps even slower, plus the paintjob... well, at least you tried on it Other then that, its pretty damn nice.

Sweet ride, similar to what I am going for. I have a very dark blue, I will be keeping that color and getting a carbon fiber hood, gun metal rims, probably a lip kit maybe a clean body kit. I wanna do the JDM type R. I am either go LS VTEC or GSR all motor for time being..... on the topic tho. AWESOME ride, i love it!

Yeah, all the bad things linger in the back of my head, but it's alright. Yeah, they're slipstreams. I figure why pay 1500 more for the real wheels which are only 2lbs lighter per wheel. And for those unaware, those are the fake spoon wheels. Yeah, I am white, but then agian, I've completed one year of Japanese, and I know what the plate says, so I guess that's some points. Aside from that, the drop are A'PEX N1 coilovers, yeah, the real kind w/ shocks on the spring as one unit. The drop is high enough where I don't have to worry about bottoming out too much, but that Wings West RS lip (I picked up for 125 scrilla) can be a pain in the *** sometimes when it comes to big dips. But thanks for the mostly good reviews, I think I've done my best w/ the Green.

Yeah, note about the Cell phone, my Motorola V60C... I was showing my good friend (gold dubs) my new turbo kit, and changing to go out tonight at the same time, and my dumbass left my cell phone on the roof of my car. Well yeah, drove off, came back at 2:00am, and it had been squished. DOH! $400 phone squished. That sucks. Oh well, my own fault so I have to eat it up. But I did absolutly WHOMP on this WRX on the way home. Sucka, sweet car, but I took it. Anyway, yeah, thanks guys. C'ya.

Chris

I like the front plate as well. You should get some OEM amber sidemarkers, that would look nice, too.
