Cool idea, executed horribly.

I'd like to see the yellow removed from the trunk and lower front grilles..I know they tie into your helmet, but without the helmet there 24/7, the yellow doesnt match ANYTHING.

I'd also like to see more "rivets"

the "no step" and the "Kill" decals are fucking pimp tho. should add more "military themed" decals like these to help finish the car.

also, i think the stock "gray colored" wheels would look or match 10x better than the black wheels.

Photoshop job or did you just seriously kill the value of a Type S? If real, I hope you like it as no one will want to own that in the future.

^dont think its paint.

its a vinyl wrap job. can ALL be un-done.
thus why I think it needs to be over the top to be able to pull off this look.
More "military themed" decals need to be on the car!

it would be cool if those were your actual kills

also the chrome strip on the trunk is out of place! wrap that hoe in a brown or a darker color!

How about forged wheels, brakes that pop and have a nicely matched color. Its gotta be lowered. Gloss black roof to match the sunroof and matching tint on the side would make it look like a cockpit.

Wheels should be blacked out and like I said not stock cause it looks like a partially executed theme. Beef up the stance, in other words flush with the body 1 degree of camber, 2 inch drop, fender's rolled yellow DRL's stock HID or 6000k, white parking lights and white front side markers. Aftermarket rear side markers red too, just the after market lights are brighter.

Pics with windows rolled up, heat treated exhaust tips.

I should add that i have a wrap company, and i change it every once in a while. I like to wrap it in colors that some people would be afraid to. My last wrap was matte red. Will upload some photos.

Not a fan of the color but I think adding an Aspec kit would help bring on a more aggressive look.

Agreed - As a wrap is a pretty extreme mod, IMO it doesn't look right on an otherwise stock car. Especially if this is to show off your wrap company, I would add more supporting mods to really make the car stand out:

-A-spec lip kit
-Blacked out headlights
-Drop
-Wheels

Once you do that stuff, the car will be better able to pull off a wrap, which in turn will make the wrap look so much better.

All that said, I think the idea is kinda cool, and I think with the right additions, it would look pretty badass.

actually think the concept could work. vidur had some good points.

i think black roof, lowered and A-SPEC kit would especially do wonders with this.
also not diggin the yellow, like justin mentioned. would look a lot cleaner with just two tones (black and matte grey). the yellow makes it look tacky.

edit: welp, must've had this tab open a while. kurt beat me to it. lol

- get rid of the yellow accents
- dip the rear trunk chrome piece
- aspec kit
- lower that bitch

the wrap job is fantastic though

I like it. Very "one of a kind". I'd picture a military theme going with a domestic vehicle like a Camaro or Mustang more than a Japanese car, but I still like it :P

matte grey would be awesome! I think that would go better than my brown color suggestion.

but since you do have a wrap company, i bet you have any color available!

start playing with some different color ideas other than yellow!

Pretty cool... Makes me wish that I had the ability to change the color of my car as much as and as easily as you. +1 on more rivets, no yellow, and black roof

ahhh, I know where to tie in the helmet with the yellow.

the fucking brembo calipers. canary yellow that hoe.
use a dark color on the lower front grille and trunk pieces(think brown or matte grey)

this way, the yellow will pop out while not being over bearing.
and you could do the helmet hangin off the side mirror idea for photoshoots

I can dig it, my suggestions would be:

1. A-Spec
2. Ditch the yellow accents
3. Needs moar low

Also, it may be just the pictures but it looks like the drivers door is a slightly darker shade than the rest of the car. Noticed it immediately in both the day and night shots.
