it looks good however on your last pic it looks like the paint doesnt match perfectly on the door to the fenders.... maybe just the light? other then that i think it looks very sleek.

well ya i have some experience in body work but i learned a lot by taking this humongous task on and for the M3 mirrors they were from an 92- 95 Civic Hatch and i got them on ebay and just did some cutting i mean a lot of cutting to make them fit. and for the paint it must of just been the light because ive picked apart the car a number of times and haven't noticed it yet but i was going for the stealth look and i believe i achieved it with a lot of unique body mods i guess you could say or just shaving for that matter im glad you guys like it

I love that soft black look on cars. That stealthy (yet not really stealth) look is awsome. Blacken the tails and fill that gap at the bottom of the door and it'd be perfect.

I just noticed you don't have any side markers (front or back). Was that on purpose? It makes it look cleaner, but flat black at night with no sides seems a little daring.

its a satin black paint and shaving the sidemarkers was on purpose makes it look cleaner and plus my mirrors are sidemarkers at night and i will be keepin it satin black i think because it looks wicked and looks silver in different lights

Throw some tint in the windows and some stock covers over the altezzas and you'll be set, oh ya and a Intercooler in the big whole of your bumper.
