not a fan of the front bumper or wing, but to each his own. the rest of the car is good looking. you need to go lower tho! haha

So ya I'm not going to be an @$$ like the rest of them cause to each there own... but I'm not digging how you can see the finder threw the side holes in the bumper, its more of a flush/cut fenders kind of bumper and ya it needs to be lowered.
Other then that I like its uniqueness, you didnt do the gt4 front end/gt4 hood/gt4 spoiler like EVERYONE ELSE!!!! so

i like the rims but in my opinion you need wider tyres, if you like it then thats all that counts i am just not a fan of stretched tyres myself, keep up the good work....

Haters. I'm liking the look, too bad it was done to a FWD instead of a RWD though.

That looks straight up ugly in my opinion. Definitely needs to go more low, and please for the sake of my eyes get rid of that wing. You gotta a good idea i guess, but poor execution.
 Again though, this is just 1/7,000,000 opinions.

Hellaflush doesn't (and shouldn't) go with a poorly fitted kit that was popular in the late 90's.
ditch the front bumper, skirts, rear bumper, spoiler, hood, fenders and replace with OEM pieces (post facelift bumper) THEN add OEM skirts, SS-III splitters front and rear, and slam it. Then it'll be good. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
