In my opinion, the altezza's are really takin' away from you're overall car. Altezzas are just to busy looking...maybe black them out? Other than that, i wouldn't change a thing.

In my opinion, vinyl looks cheap. But, then it is just that - opinion. Sorry bro, I know how much work went into it. Oh, get rid of the stickers on outside. Swap APC steering wheel for Momo or Sparco.

vinyl would be nice... but don't get crazy with it.. something like jeff abrams but don't copy his.. just something good looing simple... mabey shave the handles too... if you do take about your altezza's and paint them which i would, use candy apple transparent so it still has the shine to it but just a red shine..GOOD LUCK looks great. Was ur car black at once ?

Frenched handles would look sweet

Here is an example

BTW where did you get your kit? I haven't seen that kit before for the MX3. I kust used a celica veilside bumper like that to create a new Cougar front bumper. We also made those for the Cavalier and Sunfire.

its the new fx designs kit. i think they were aiming for a widebody thing, but didn't get to fulfill what they wanted to do. its a pretty expensive kit, however. i think $399 for each bumper, pair of skirts, and rear.

Definitely paint the altezzas red. Also, maybe put eyelids to give it more aggressive look. Even if you don't do anything else to your car, it looks sweet.
