I don't care about haters to be honest and I'm not "hating" on your paint job. "Hating" is just making an asshole comment to make one...your paint doesn't flow and that's a factual statment. Now I'm not saying any of this to be an asshole I'm saying it to help you make it look more complete.

- You created a body line, that always looks bad, but if you're going to create it, keep it going around the car, eyelids would help this...S-style to be specific.
- You have CF parts that should be painted black, even if you do a transparent black so you can still "see" the CF, they don't go with the rest of the paint job.
- You have a black wing on a CF trunk....
- You have gloss black paint but flat black Mopar 3D tails, make the outside of the tails glossy and nightshade them...it would look 100x better.
- The black on the rear of the bumper just doesn't look right, that's probably due to the rims being gold (which I know you plan to change) and the exhaust tips being smaller in diameter. Not saying you need a fart can but something isn't right back there.
- I would also nightshade the third brake light and sidemarkers.

Now that's just my .02 it's constructive criticism and not "hating". If you did all of that and got new wheels (like you say).....it'd look way more complete, and flow much better.

No problem, I can understand about the exhaust, it's why mine has two huge resonators. The candy black won't hide the CF though :D

I don't like the Mopar 3d tail lights. You should grab some stock tails and it'll look way better.

Paint your stock wheels black, tint your windows, and it will look a lot better. :)

I was kind of leaning towards the criticism side until that last post with the lambo door. Now all the mods almost all make sense. The gold rims are really the only thing I absolutely do NOT like, But that's just my opinion. As for Lilspark, I agree there is alot going on , but it is YOUR car, and if you like it then good for you. I would not do that with my Red 04 SXT, not bc I hate it, I just do not have the ballz to be that brave. Besides, red cars are always targeted by cops. Blue/Black, not so much. Anyway I salute you for your mods. WTG

Gold rims are gone man ^

New rims look 100000xxxx better than the gold stockers/. I think they flow well with the flashyness of the car. Tires need some tire shine too!

no sir, i do not like it. the fade reminds me of something the gangbangers around here roll on their Navigators and Escalades. the best look you had was the R/T wheels, but even then it needed the crosshairs back.

I know I can say my opinion on this car which I couldn't say on neoncanada

your car is butt fuckn ugly, the rims are nasty, nothing flows. and as the poster above said, its like a wanna be pimp gangsta mobile.. srt4. lame

you know what really grinds my gears? people who put body kits on a perfectly nice looking car.

I woke up cranky today

at the end of this all, to each there own.

ps, why is it you Frenchmen always have the worst taste in cars? every time I road trip out to Quebec I always find the biggest group of ricers.

You definately need to get some better pictures of it... I see really nasty cars that look somewhat better because the pictures are edited really nicely and came out perfect. Sun really ruined those picts.


Now get some picts with a better camera,some overcast, and a better location. :thumbup:

To Everyone/Haters:
Isn't the purpose of modding cars, making it to YOUR liking? What fun would it be if all cars looked the same? Each car stands out in a way because we all have different tastes. I think people need to see the big picture. He's obviously spent some money on doing his mods.

Your not going to please everyone, so let the haters roll by.

I usually hate two-tones, butI like the paint job a lot. And new wheels are sexy :thumbup:

Kinda. But if you want to post your car on a forum where you should know, they don't like certain things, and WILL tell you how it is, be ready to handle the fire.
