Either do the wheels and mirrors entirely in orange or just leave them. I think I get what they were trying to achieve (not too much orange, it is too loud), but it doesn't work. Go all the way or don't do it at all. The wheels are now a bit Japanese tuneresque also.

But it is a GT2, and it will always look good as long as you don't......let's see.........paint it pink! Or something like that.

Because the GT3 RS was first, anything else in these schemes looks like a wannabe to me - whatever the car.

Actually, I just looked at that GT2 again and decided it looks ridiculous. The civic tuner wheel look just does not work on a GT2. Also, the decals are fine, but bring the GT3 towards the rear (exact same placement on the right side as RS's GT3 and then mirror that on left side); it does not look right centered.

Why do this with a black GT2? An all black GT2 is a beautiful car! What is the point? Makes me want to puke...

Agreed. What I don't get is that they seemed to want to keep the orange toned down on the outside, possibly anyway, but then the inside went into over drive.

But, to be fair, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What I don't get is how the owner is going to drive the thing? Last I remember, they don't issue driver licenses to blind people. <- Stevie W.
