I like it bro. I would do a couple simple things to your beast, that would make it look a whole lot better:

1) Get rid of the rear quarter window gun sticker
2) Get rid of the skull sticker on your front bumper
3) Go flat badge on hood instead of Star
4) Take off front tag and put it in your front window if allowed

Those simple things will clean up the appearance and make it look SICK. What did you use for paint?

The finish came out great; as long as you like it, that is all that matters!

It feels very JDM-ish. I can appreciate it, though I don't think I could rock it. BTW, how do you have your front license plate attached? I have the tow hook plate holder, but not feeling how it looks since it's pretty high.

Kind of at a loss for words on this one. I'm still leaning towards photoshop but if not hey at least you're happy. I could see that bronze being used on calipers though. Info on the paint used?

Maybe the GT3 was a source of inspiration. The orange wheels look ok here so maybe the mirrors, door protection strips and some other stuff should get the same color treatment to help it out.

Love everything about your car AWOL, even the side stickers and especially the stance. But I would never, ever be able to rock wheels like that. You's crazy man!

very different: yes.....
the contrast of orange wheels and red rear end lights is kind
of unsettling however....
but I agree with the 'making it different' sentiment.........that part is cool.....

enjoy

Maybe a proper goldish broze would have come out better but these just straight up look orange.

I will start by saying I do not take offense to your opinions.

But the stickers on the sides are a clothing brand I operate, nothing major, just a form of advertising.

Secondly, I agree, the wheels came out lighter than expected. After all the prep work required, I didnt want to redo them right away. Im thinking the brake dust will help tone it down after some serious driving, but all in all, it didnt cost anything but time. Ill find the right color eventually, but for now this works, as the blue was getting a little tired.

I appreciate your feedback, but I assure you, it isnt photoshop

I can confirm that - saw the other photo on FB.

I totally understand why you went with the color change too. After a while, you just get bored with how your car looks, and either switch up the aesthetics or toss on another mod.

We're all guilty of this.

You should add a matte paint job to compliment the copper

I think you are right, matte black paint and he could probably pull I off.
