If you are looking for offers for purchase of the car, you'll need to post a pic of the car with a sign as outlined in the For Sale rules (link in my sig).
While its not my style at all, I must say its definitely a unique look. My only personal criticism, is that I don't think I've ever seen paint with that horrible of an orange peel before. The fact that its orange only makes it worse, and the fake hood scoop and the holes in the fenders are killing it for me.

Why is that flywheel on the ground behind the car?
The body kit isn't bad. I kinda' like the front bumper treatment and sideskirts, but if you wanted to go badge-less (debadged) you should have filled those holes first, before the paint.
The hood scoop should either be made functional or deleted.
And the paint is a definite (no) (eek2). I'm guessing you did it in the driveway there? If it's your first attempt then I applaud the effort.
I suck at painting myself, but that s**** gotta' go, Man. (sick) (stripper)
Just my own (2cents)
I Have not completed the paint- yes it has the orange peel look, because i haven't wet sanded it, but i don't like the color so, i'm sandin down and going with super jet black. The construnction on my street didn't help and kinda screwed up my work, lol. Everything happens for a reason. But will post more pics one i change her dress.
the holes are for the RX7 Logo- it's going on after I repaint.

Yea, at least cut out the opening for the scoop if its not coming off, and also you should work on making the exhasut tip line up with the exhaust hole in the bumper. my $0.02
I'll second that.
Also, if going jet black you must know that the body and prep work will have to be flawless or it will show. Black is the worst color to prep for, and the hardest to keep looking good afterward.
And yes, please do something about the non-functional scoop.
Don't like to be cold Mr. Old School, but let's be honest. Your arms will fall off before you wet-sand all the peel and dirt out of that paint job. That's like saying Charlie Sheen will be fine when he cuts back on the caffeine.
You need a DA sander with a big compressor or a prison chain-gang with 80 grit in each hand.
