Looks a little overdone to me. Doesn't look like they did the hood we saw in the pics either. I liked that. I'm really not a fan of this 1800 fog light front bumpers. Why is that cool? Anyway, what is different about those headlights? They look different then ours in the U.S. don't they? Maybe it is just the angle?

They changed the amber bulb in the corner lights and completely did away with the unsightly orange side markers
I little over-the-top but thats the point. Definitely aggressive looking and glad to see they skipped the Fast & Furious wing.
The color-matched grill and side mirror trim looks amazing. Why would they do a brake upgrade (check out the red calipers) and not have a drilled or slotted rotor?

I was thinking the same thing about the lights. I ordered som silver bulbs 2 weeks agao and they haven't arrived yet. This one looks better than the silver one used in their ad, but it's still a little too busy for my taste. The wheels look great though.

I really like what they did to the front grille & roof railing matching up with the body color.

but I think it would look a lot better if they de-chromed the window sills
preferably matt black

The duel fog light concept is a definitely great idea

this is a CG off of a yahoo.co.jp auction
but this would make a great kit
I'll add this before ppl ask what rims they are
white: ADVAN AVS.ModelT5 19"
black: ADVAN KreutzerVi 19"

They do, but I wouldn't color match if the car had a pano roof which mine does. That is also what stopped me from doing a roof spoiler. I didn't want to break the continuous flow of that dark shiny black from the roof to the rear windshield, a white roof spoiler would have broken it off. On this car it looks great though. I agree about the brakes as well.

They have Wald center caps I'm sure they are available thru their website. Wald does their own wheels i believe.

I like drilled and slotted rotors as much as the next enthusiast, and I know what they are for, but they provide very little added benefit to street cars. Bigger rotors, however, provide more leverage and, therefore, more stopping power.
