you asked for an opinion. and in my opinion you should get rid of the rims.or paint them black.
 
we are going to get the rims powder coated black/ we ordered black projector headlights and taillights / and the cars getting repainted not sure on color. and waiting on blitz front bumper .this one is now broke off too low ' wait it can never be too low
 
It's ugly. Paint the rims black, loose the wing, loose the body kit, loose the graphics, and loose the tail lights.
 
that bumber looks fine , but do you really want to go with a blitz front end? everybody and their momma has a blitz front end. there are so many frontends out there it is ridiculas. considering that you can get a blitz for every other car out there now(hondas,ford,toyota,and the lexus pretty much everyone) I would re-think that decision be different, but if you like I love it. its your money and your car. what ever you decide I'm sure you'll be happy!
 
Lose the blue rims, and the wing, keep the side blue graphics. Add a turbo spoiler and it will look sweet. Just my opinion.
 
the wing is diamond plate steel to match the diamond plate interior
we will loose the graphics because the color scheme will not be orange and blue
it will be one solid color
and stock cars with stock bumpers don't win car shows and turn people's heads
i work with cars so my car has to be some show to let people see what i do
 
this bumper sucks it is the drift kit i think it's worse than the blitz

looking like every one else doesn't win car shows either...ORIGINALITY wins car shows! if you really work with cars like you say do then you know this.
 
LOL I don't think the car looks THAT bad...I'll give ya a little break. I have to give the vehicle credit for being different...the color cordination with the rims is pretty neat. Everyone and their dog has the Blitz front end...but also remember everyone and their dog has their rims painted black with a silver lip...its a new trend.

My Suggestion:
- switch out the rims (if you can afford to do so) and get some aftermarket 17s or 18s
- get rid of the wing...I don't know why people insist on aluminum wings...the don't look good..nor are they really functional on FWD vehicles.
- the tails probably don't need to be changed..I dunno..if you put the altezza center piece in you should be shot :barf: ...if you did remove the center piece and put the stock one back in at least it'll look better.
- As far as the paint goes..I'd say go with WHITE or BLACK..those are two of the best colors IMHO.

To me that vehicle is pretty good looking..my main complaint is just the ultra trendy front end it has on there..I think it needs to be reverted back to stock front.

Edit: Well there really isn't anything orignal about that car other than the color, the kit is over done..don't know what you have done to the interior.

black wheels give contrast. most black wheels are a different pattern the only thing in common is the color A blitz kit in a different color is still a blitz kit.
 
to me in my town this is origonal at least i don't see to many that are like this
the inside is all orange and blue to match the outside and a t.v. in dash and in steering wheel
once it becomes orange and black i will post more pics
 
Paint the car, powdercoat the rims black with a polished lip, and smoke the stock tals like me :) . Also lose the wing, go for a stock turbo wing. And personally, the only bodykits I like on 2G's are stock 2Gb and blitz.

Grab a carbon fiber hood too.
 
ya i'm not the biggest fan of the blue wheels
not very many cars can pull it off
but this one doesn't look that bad it's different
 
I hope your not planning on painting those rims..those are factory rims....I would chuck 'em in a heartbeat. They are garbage. I would sooner have my car on 4 cinderblocks rather than have those on the car. I had those 10-spoke rims and all 4 bent....bent bad. And I'm not a pothole queen. My baby is prestine. No one could balance the wheels and I didn't have the money at the time to replace them. When I finally did all 4 of my tires had to be replaced as well because the threads were popping out due to rubbing from unbalanced wheels AND the dealership knew and saw and rotated the tires and told me they couldn't help me and left them on the car anyways. Jerks. Cost me 2k in the end but it made the biggest difference in the appearance. Got me some Axis Se7ens and a nice set of Yokohama super sticky tires.

And I concur with the rest of this thread....go for something other than blitz. I see them all the time at shows...all scraped up...dragging the ground...they all look the same. In a day and age of the internet...finding something hot and different shouldnt be a problem ;)
 
yes, are those headlights getting glacoma? i like the color, not many around(well, the central states) with that color. clear tails don't look good on any other color except; silver and white. is that a single wiper conversion i see also? ditch that, makes it look too much like a honda :barf:

the stockies(wheels) are terrible. they bend easily and dont add much for style. plus your tire's sidewall height is bigger than your fender gap. looks really out of place.

make it look smooth, smooth cars turn more heads, because you dont expect it.(that means ditch the wing, go for a turbo one or a stock one off a N/A spyder)

pearl white is good choice if you want to keep your tails.

IMO, an orange car should have black rims(it's all about contrast)

btw, go with a front bumper other than the blitz(EVERYONE has them, i mean everyone)
 
My opinion:

The kit you have on there right now is much better off than the Blitz kit. If you definately want to change kits, take a look at the BC2.

As for the wing.... Alum. wings are tacky. Even if it is "diamond plate" to match your interior, it's tacky as all hell. Take a look at a CF wing (Megan Racing makes a really slick lookin one). Then accent it with a CF hood.

The rims are kind of..... nasty lookin. Trade out for a nice set of aftermarket wheels- Racing Hart C4's or C5's would be a nice look in 18's.

I like the color and the graphic.... I'd say keep it.
 
my .02

keep the color, just add more pearl ... or do something to make it stand out more.

if this is a true show car, nothing less than airbrushed graphics will win

ditch the wing and look up "rudora wing", it's a flat duckbill wing.. or even get it in CF

blue rims.. um... yea, get rid of them and get a new set that will compliment the car.

new headlights

CF hood
