I like it a lot. I think as Nicole pointed out (Nicole your eye for detail is amazing) the general lines and especially the door treatment really bring the car up to date. No way anyone would guess it was a car originally made 10 years ago and possibly 20+.
I like the stripe but think it should be thinner through the door and then get wider, but I'm guessing and could be wrong. Obviously the paint wouldn't affect the kit at all though.
I'm also thinking that the bottom of the rear fenders need some shadow line or contour but I don't know what. Front spoiler looks OK to me, but I couldn't use it because it's too low.
MORE PICS PLEASE.

I also like the overall concept you've done here.
I'm with Niels, however, in that I think the rear end looks too boxy. It does have a bit of a brick look to it. Maybe a rear view would show a diffuser, and may change my mind, but from the side, it is too square. Maybe the suggestions to add the rear spoiler would offset this too, but as it sits, the rear needs some tweaking, IMO.
Otherwise, it is a nice creation.

I like the overall look of it. I really like the back it looks like something Porsche would have done but I will say that it’s a little heavy but just a tad. My second favorite is the vents/gills tastefully done looks BMW inspired but I still think it fits. The concept of the line from the front dam to the back of the door is a solid idea but needs a bit more work.
I would be proud of this.

I love it so far. I do think it can be further refined, though. My thoughts:
1) Better match the front and real wheel wells - I would say go with equal radius curves on both
2) Any chance of replacing the side stripe with an actual crease (I know, very Banglesque, but modern) or a more gentle fold that will catch the light differently and give the same effect and maybe have it bulge slightly outward as it goes over the rear wheel wells?
3) Slightly straighten out the curvature (or reduce the thickness) of the shape under the door and under the nose
4) drop the tallights an inch or two and add an integrated spoiler above them.
5) I agree with Nicole, add a horizontal seam from the edge of the bottom of the (now lowered) taillight to the rear wheel well. This will also help break up the brick-like appearance of the rear end.
6) add a rear diffuser with integrated twin tailpipes
But overall, very nice work.

John V. - that's one happy shark! Is it smiling because it has just feasted on a few corvettes and ferraris?
[edit] John V. - why the delete?

I like it a lot..!!
I agree with the suggestion about making the wheel arches the same from side view.
I like the second photo with the rear spoiler.
With that front air dam, I would think that a rear wing might be necessary - I'd love to see what you come up with..!!
Would like to see front and rear views.

I am in love with the kit AS IS. I cannot picture it being any better with a rear wing, I have to agree though, probably the front bumper should be a little less agressive.

Nice effort.
How about remodeling the front nose profile so it compliments the rear? The front looks unchanged. I like the rear - very contemporary and still timeless (will age well). The swoop under the door is too pronounced and spoils the otherwise smooth lines.

That is soooo sweeet, great job on the design.
The only thing I might change is the rear, Lower the tail lights a bit and give it a little more curve and contour like that of the GT3 RS or a little more subtle like the Turbo with the integrated tailpipes.
Can't wait to see the finished product.

i would take it wrong...why are you messing with his design?
He asked for input and I thought my explanation was respectful to his efforts and responsive to his request. I'm sorry you would take wrong... I removed my rendering so kindly delete your copy.
