I think overall it works. I don't mind it one bit. The sideskirts and doors just don't look right though to me. Love the monitors inside.

Lower it and get some exhaust, tint the windows and you will be good to go in the look department.

Question: Is it legal to carry around the license plate in the dash like that? I'm sorta going thru the whole front plate ordeal. There is a state trooper that just hates little things like this and avoids jobs like real crime. Any other cop out there in my county is totally cool.

Well, regardless of my general dislike of all things rice, I like anything that is well done and from the pics it looks like that is the case. Looks pretty nice.

the other day i was pulled over cause the front plate wasnt on my original bumper. i just let him know that i was working on my car lately and had to keep switching it out, he didnt mind too much, just told me to put it on as soon as possible. ive never gotten a ticket for it tho. glad ppl like it overall.

Looks good. Id say paint the door handles. Thats the thing that sticks out the most to me. But I like it.

I think ive said this a couple times but ive been told by state troopers, hwy patrol and local police that the plate in the windshield is fine, because of the fact that its technically on the front of the car. I used to get tickets left and right because there was no plate on the front of my car (not even in the window) but when i put it in the window i stopped getting pulled over. (for no front plate).
The car does look great but could definatly be lowered and tinted. Does that paint match? It looks a little off. Also a suggestion would be to Mold the sideskirts into the body so it looks as if it were part of the car. I would suggest if you dont know how to work with bondo or Poly, to get a paint shop to do it, from personal experiance you will like it more. When i did mine i thought it looked easy enought that i could do it myself but no matter how much it looked like it was good, when the paint went on, it looked like shit.
