    I like that approach! Honest and opinionated at the same time... let me ask you a question... Have you ever met an uncool Matt in your life? The reason i ask is because I have yet to find a guy named Matt that wasnt cool, and this was brought to my attention by a co-worked named Matt about 3 years ago, and I have been asking that question to every Matt ive ever met and none of them recall an uncool guy named Matt...

    guess there is a first time for everything... I think everyone becomes a douche at one point or another if your around em too long!

    :clap::rofl:Nope but will probably meet him one day! Hell looking around Ive met the following people recently before even joining up here

    Killshot Mike.... Actually have known him for 3 years
    Alex - met a few weeks ago
    Versatile Andy - met a few weeks ago
    AllPro Brandon - met a couple days ago...
    Sparta Dana - met a few weeks ago and got an FMIC from him

    Had no clue these guys were all a big part of the ATL WRX scene! Looks like I have a good start right off the bat!

    LOL You guys think I came on here to gain your approval or some shit... Fail on your comment! As stated before, its my car, and my style, now I just wanna delete the post and move back to the forums I feel at home on, rather than get my style bashed, without any constructive critiscism... Thought this was a forum for enthusiasts, not dickheads!

    Good constructive criticism. I agree.

    Personally i rate the body kit 3/10, the hood 3.5/10, the wheels 2/10, ride height 1/10.

    My constructive critiscism to fix these items would be along the same lines as B reel, paint the hood body color, paint the grills black, lower the car more and get an aggressive offset wheel that accents the exterior mods you have chosen.

    Right now your car has a mix matched look, aggressive/gaudy body kit that completely stands out against the rest of the car, made slightly better by choice in complementing hood and wing. But you dont finish the combination and made very poor wheel selection and carrying a ride height that is to high to really pull it all together in one package.

    That is about as constructive as criticism gets around. If you are sissy thin skinned nanny and cant take alittle heat, you wouldnt do well as a community member here anyways.

    Anyways, the secret to making any car look start at 2 very basic items. 1)appropriate ride height and 2)appropriate wheel and tire selection. Work on those and you will be moving up the latter quickly.

    don't worry about the troll...he's gone.

    It's YOUR opinion that matters to you. If the majority of people don't like the mods you've done to get your car to how you want it/like it, that's on them. I wouldn't get so defensive.

    Just keep this philosophy in mind:

    I still wanna space the wheels a bit and get some of the rear wheel flares, and hopefully that will cover up the gap over where the rear bumper meets the quarter panel.

    Gonna get the windows tinted soon too, any suggestions?

    If I were to be negative about any part of the body kit I would say that the side skirts are a bit too aggressive for my liking, but they look way better than stock when paired with the front and rear bumper.

    All exterior mods are manufactured at the eBay parts plant:rofl:

    yeah its all ebay specials... I cheaped out on most the exterior, but spent top dollar under the hood, and chose the right mechanic... KILLSHOT!!

    I would look at an aggressive wheel package with that aggressive of a body kit. Ditch those wheels.

    Not a fan of body kits but nice ride. Personally, since you got an inverted scoop, i would ditch the wing for a cleaner, sleeker look. I think the sti wing only looks good with the regular hood scoop.
