Smile Here's my car. Opinions please

This weekend I finally finish my car after months of thinking what to do with it. I have some Blitz BRW Profile 8 (got them powdered coating in TE37 Bronze), TL-S Aspec suspension, got calipers powdered coated in Brembo Red and Rotora rotors for all four wheels.
Here it is:


This is before

Any comments?

Very sharp StreetLegal. The red Brembo's is always a nice touch.

very clean

If you skim through the pics quickly it looks like an STI just bc of the color car and wheels. I like the TL better though.

Car looks sweet bro. Your brembo's & rotors are super sexy.
I'm not feeling the bronze wheels on blue, but hey its your
ride & if you like it then roll with it.

the car looks great, rotors looks awesome, color of the rims look good but to me the rims look like they look better on a STI or WRX, my opinion of course, but the car still looks great

How much did it cost to get your calipers powder coated? I want to get mine powder coated as well as opposed to painting them.

Owned a set of these wheels myself before so you know what I already think about them. They look much nicer in bronze than the gunmetal or metal silver finish they offer. I wonder how they would look in gold. Some black lugs would be nice.

I like it. Bronze wheels really aren't my thing but they look pretty good on your car. It looks like you have a nice even drop with the Aspec, the front doesn't have the bigger gap than rear.

The guy that painted them wanted to do Project Mu color but I thought it was too sporty for my TL-S
