These are just my thoughts, and you know what everybody says about opinions...

-Take the Japanese emblem off the side, makes me think of rice
-In the first pic it looks like there are wires running up to your windshield jets, please tell me there aren't lights at the end of those wires
-Gaudy paint, but still tasteful. I'd paint the fuse cover also.
-I don't know about the chrome handles
-Take the rack off. It'll look a lot cleaner.
-Burn the "XTREME" emblem on the back
-Burn the license plate lighting
-I'd get some wheel locks for the hell of it
-Replace the wire cover where you oversprayed
-I love the hydraulic hood supports. Get rid of the factory one.
-And do take the altezza's off. The factory lights will complement your engine bay paint better anyway. If you don't want to take them off, black 'em out.
-Wax the bastard

Feel free to call me a prick, I've heard it before.
 
to each his own, but i would debagde it, put the stock tails back on, and lower it

X2...personally i wouldnt rattle can anything on my car and what is the X'treme badge from? is it anything remotely associated with mazda? You could have done a little bit better on painting the engine components and i hope thats high heat silver paint on the intake manifold....Im diggin the cross drilled slotted rotors though, they look nice....and go back with the stock taillights, they look alot better, the altezza's do nothing for it, your Confused between JDM and EDM lol

Eh... Good job modding, but I would reaim the intake so it doesn't soak up heat from the tranmission. A little too much red in the engine IMO.

Keep us updated on progress!
 
for real clean look you should take parts off before spraying them...over spray say's you were in a hurry and really didn't care to much about the details...anyway, you're on your way...but i wouldn't say your finished just yet! keep on modding!
 
This guy posts photos of his baby and the majority of the responses are negative criticisms--no wonder newbs are finding other forums.

Nevermind the firing squad, drukkosz, congratulations on finishing your project. :)
 
Cars are never Finished.. :) Trust me...

You did a lot of work to it but sometimes Spray Paint will not give you a clean look. I believe the paint will flake off the manifold, try polishing the heat shield and replacing it. It will shine up nicely.

so we should not tell him what we think? don't ask unless you really want to know what people think..(uhm) ...some comments were constructive and meant to help him and improve the quality of his work....i think attention to the details are important???
