| First off, two tone isn't my thing but if that's what you like so be it. If you keep it this way (vs. going with CF motif), it is screaming for a better transition at the point where the A-pillars and fenders meet. Other things:
- Driver side door filler seems to be lifting away from the door at its leading edge. - Screws attaching the skirts inside the front fenders stand out like a sore thumb. - Passenger fender/door gap needs attention. Most likely from improper jack placement under the fender. - Angled exhaust tips scream "I'm a former Civic owner". - Nice touch with the chromed plenum. The old hardware
detracts from the appearance. Get a throttle body cover to hide some of the ugly stuff and switch out coil pack bolts for something more dressy (i.e. SS hardware). - Nice paint job on the timing belt covers, but they're not a close match to the body color. IMO, it's better to select a contrasting color (black for example) rather than trying to color match. Or, order extra body paint and have the covers painted to match the body. Same goes for the fan shroud. - You managed the paint the calipers without painting the rotors. Good job. Same comments about contrasting color than going with body color on the calipers. But this is more of a personal preference. If you like red, then red it is. - The body paint looks like it might be intentionally semi-gloss, or maybe there's a bunch of orange peel. It's tough to tell from the pictures what's going on here. It would look much better with a high gloss finish. - Although it's not something I would do, the shaved door handles and antenna look to be nicely done.
- If you're staying with the two-tone, I think the mirrors should be painted black too. - Rear bumper cover needs attention at the top edge where it meets the factory bumper cover. It looks like it is trying to peel away, or starting to do so. - Dump the "Coupe" sticker on the rear. Take the feedback in any way you wish - these are only suggestions and observations. Bear in mind, that this is my frame of reference what is considered a good looking car:
