I'm sure it's hard to capture, but dang...set camera to auto, when there is sunlight outside, take some pics. I'm curious to see how this looks.
Not my thing, but I kinda dig the Euro rusted and flat paint schemes that are out there...

I wouldn't make those comments until I saw how it looks. Might look cool in person. Something different, as you said.
Who KNOWS...maybe the transformers badge and the chicken wire on the back portion may take away from what you're trying to do here....a perfect drop, with maybe a larger black wheel and put the A back on...I don't know...I like where your head is at, but when going that extreme with paint, you walk a fine line between being something different and unique and being something you have a hard time admitting you've overdone even though the first reaction people will give you is WTF did that guy do to his car. Subtle, understated,
Just an opinion, of course. But there's a reason there are a lot of lowered black roof white cars...it's cause they look smokin friggin hot and when people see it they can do nothing more than mimic it!

As long as you like it it's all you man, not my cup of tea though.
Suggestions of what I'd do:
1) Get different wheels, wheels look cheap to me and working on the unique look brings down the car. A nice set of wheels can make a world of difference for your paint job.
2) Get rid of the transformer symbol, put on the "A" or just leave it blank.
3) The kit screams "ricer" to me, always has. I think with the ASPEC it would look A LOT cleaner. I just hate how it's so huge and in your face, plus the wire on the back looks really Home Depot DIY to me lol.
4) Properly shave the trunk, you removed the emblem but left the holes there...looks half assed and sloppy. If you don't want to shave it since that paint isn't the easiest to do then I'd just put the "A" back on the trunk.
5) Definitely paint match the hood trim.
Minus the kit and wheels it's subtle changes but I think can really change the look of the car. Personally, I don't like white cars with the whole panda look going on 9 out of 10 times so I feel you on that. Props for being unique and don't take my suggestions of what I'd do as insulting your work bro. I'm sure in person it looks a lot better, most unique paint jobs must be seen in person to be able to appreciate or properly hate haha. Either way enjoy what you do, who cares what I think lol

I saw a TSX that looked like this back in 05. It was parked next to a construction site where they were blasting rock and milling/sifting gravel. The key to the getting this exact effect was that the car had been rained on a few times. If only the owner thought to post pics with only the glass and wheels cleaned, he could have claimed this "originality"...
The picks look like a bad ebay ad for a raven knockoff!

definitely different for sure.
to me, it looks like the CGP paint underwent some serious fading over the years and i would think that when people see it on the streets, that's the same though that runs through the minds of others.

looks like an HGT(v)SX. granite/marble add value... to a kitchen. i just don't feel like, personally, i could drive this as my daily driver... but then again it's yours not mine!
do your thing man, but i agree... i think you need a wheel with more of a solid or weighty feel to it... those enkei razrs look too sharp and don't fit the style. maybe something like the SSR koenig's with a brushed metal face?
