For me, it is WAY too much!
Exceptions: The rims are
, the mugen hardtop is and the supercharger is
You need to take out all that cf junk out of your engine bay. Way too much. Keep it clean. The body kit and the lambdo doors I dislike. Too ricey for me. I don't like to get that kind of attention.

I think it looks clean...All Hail matergrade!
Personally I wouldnt go wide body on the car...besides the fact that there no way I could afford it...I just like the clean lines of the j's kit

Putting c/f on your car just for the sake of having c/f is senseless, IMO. If its a racecar or or the part has a practical function and improves the car(other than for looks, which is entirely subjective) then its fine. The hood and hardtop are great because they are functional but all that engine covering is not only a waste but could also cause the engine to run hotter. The c/f under the hood also defeats the purpose of having a vented hood which is to get the hot air out of the engine compartment.

Nothing is supposed to serve a purpose other than to please the crowd and the judges.

I guess I just don't get it then. I don't understand how, for show or not, someone would spend a lot of money on a car to make it actually perform worse.
Good luck with your project.
