Love the color, wheels and front splitter. Personally I hate the rear spoiler and side skirts that catch leaves.

Beautiful color! I want to like these wheels. But there is just something about them that just turns me away. They also look small in this format. Idk why.
And yes. That gap is massive for some reason. Much larger than I would expect.

too much body kit, IMO.
Like a Cavaliar Z24 from the 90s! Beautiful shade of blue though!

Cool.. for people that can't distinguish the two, it's great to save about $60-100K and just get the Type-R. Quote:

It's fascinating how little design elements influence our perceptions. Like the gloss black bits around the car slim the car down (and the bigger CF pieces do it even more), but when those same bits are painted body color, like some people have done here, the car suddenly seems bulky. When it's all the same car in essence. I'm still a bit put off by going non-OEM on substantial performance bits. And while I appreciate the look of a lowered car, I don't think I'll tolerate the ride. I don't like having to slow down too much on roads that are intermittently rough. And then, I cringe to say this but I've already managed to scrape some PPF under the front splitter exiting a parking lot onto a road (of all places! Completely didn't expect that and was caught by surprise when it happened).

Looks great!
Mine is getting all those M Performance pieces (minus the wing) installed in the next couple of weeks plus the Vorsteiner front grille. Are you planning on tracking? I'll be at Pacific Raceways a couple of times a month starting in a couple of weeks. Can't wait! Would be cool to do a photo shoot with the two cars. Mine is Portimao Blue.

Beautiful color, it looks great in the better weather. I feel your pain on the window cracks/chips, 3 windshields in the calendar year 🤦🏽. Great looking car.

That's beautiful! Especially since you've gotten the plate to go with it.

Crazy design language. It's almost like different people designed what the car should look like, and then the functionality of the parts.
Not sure if you're comfortable driving around with a lowered vehicle. I would definitely consider larger wheels doing a 20 upfront, 21 into rear to help offset the huge side profile that sucking the wheels into the car and giving it a very strange look. I think the car could look magnificent… just needs to have the suspension system dialed in and the wheel system. |
