Car looks good except for painted grill.

Red engine bay?

Go back to black and it would be a win for me

Align the drivers door, paint the bumper grill black, get center caps and get stock lugs and you will have a badass ctr. Just my opinion

I don't see anything wrong with what was pointed out, not like anything was said harshly or out of spite. And lugs are a BIG issue, and I'll bet you don't even know why.

Aww honey let me wipe those tears.

If he just took care of some minor details it would really shine. Again, this is MY opinion. Overall it is a very nice car and the interior is beautiful

If you focus on how the side moldings of the door and rear quarter meet, you'll see it lines up funny. No biggie. The painted grill, center caps and lugs are also just minor, it's the painted bay that ruined this car. Looks stupid.

Actually the lugs are a big deal because aftermarket lugs don't have the same seat as Honda OEM wheels. The wheels are prone to loosening and the lugs are gouging out the seat. It has nothing to do.with looks.

Looks great. Get some center caps and strip the paint on the grille.
