The exterior looks great! The engine bay looks ok. It would look better without the red cable covers and blue strut tops.

LOVE the front bumper. Also, what steering wheel is that?

Overall a very clean car, but agreed with azbanks, I'm not sure the red and bright blue fit with the rest of the car.

I love it.

Any chance you are going to tell us how long and how $ it was to transfer from the tired Gray car to that sleek beauty it is now.

That looks great! Very simply, very classy well done mods. I would have went a little more subtle under the hood, but still very nice.

Love the bumper! Paint looks good, not bad for $800 I think. I'd love to make my "silver" go black myself.

I actually really like the red and blue guts, although I guess that makes me the odd man out.

Looks good. I was wondering what the story was on the rear spoiler. It looks really good. I want that rear bumper and something like that rear spoiler. I think it updates the car just enough.
