I really like it mate. Good effort for being very different.
I think carbon looks the best on black cars imo.
Bet it cost some wedge as well?

i quite like it,but that cone filter sticking out the front is all a bit 2 much for me,can u not put it somewhere not visible? i suppose that would be defeating the object of where u wanted to put it so fair play mate,it must be quite a beast!

i really like it and think you are right that painting the mesh will tone it down quite a bit and improve the look
cone filter looks cool there but it must pick up loads of road crap?

cheers

all are individuals, peoples hard work and money, all about some respect. You say all opinions are welcome when someone says looks hideous and ugly. dont think so maybe you would take that criticism i wouldnt.

looks mean! the air intake cone looks like an afterthought though. imo

maybe you could use black mesh on that and get an STI logo on it so you get symmetry with the standard fog light cover

If he didnt want negative comments he wouldnt have posted pics and 'hope you like' comments if he only wanted positive comments then im sure he would have asked.

I'm sure every car on here has got something someone else doesnt like whether they say it or not it doesnt make a blind bit of difference as its the individuals car and if they like it then who cares.
