i'm gonna be really honest about it that i see a lot of people are hiding in their comments
please don't take this as an offensive post...
the Exterior and Trunk is Great!
but the interior and odd accent lighting/accessories is way too much (i.e. for lighting: tail lights, rope lighting in the door sills etc)
now why exactly do you have a Turbo Timer? and what is that the thing on the right side of the dashboard next to the tweeter is that a clock?
this should be constructive for you next time a judge walks by at a car show :D

LED lightings @ certain areas IMO does helps to enhance the car outlook especially at nite. So to me, i dun think is odd looking or way too much... Well its to individual's liking as i said...
Turbo timer is install to help stall engine shut down time due to high heat after long drive... anyway no harm to install this device even its not a TC car.
The right side gadget is not a clock... its ERP - Electronic Road Pricing card reader to slot in a 'CashCard' for deducting $ while you cross certain roads @ certain timing. Its a compulsary item for all cars & motorcycles in S'pore.
Cheers!

Wow... I never thought so much rice could exist in one thread.... :/
At least majority are not cheap Wally World mods. I don't dig all of the LEDage going on. LEDs are lovely but there comes a point when you have too many lights on the car. If I were to go to the exremes of lighting the car up that much, I'd concentrate more on LED accent lighting rather than LED light strips. Makes the whole car look extremely tacky IMHO. Prime example of this would be in the trunk, tail lights and on the front of the car. Lighting looks a whole lot better if you don't see the actual lights, this helps the overall flow of the car and doesn't distract the viewer from the actual curves of the car. This just looks like someone spent decent time on getting the body in good condition and just decided to roll by autozone to dress up the car in LED strips. The fact that you did this to an Automatic is just disturbing. It's like I'm in a nightmare and I just wanna wake up so it'll all be over. Anyhow, not important what I think. Only thing that matters is that you like it (and I sure as hell hope you do). Take most of what I've bashed on with a grain of salt but I would seriously consider getting rid of the strips. They ruin what would otherwise be a clean car. You can light a floorboard using 2 or 3 leds and with proper planning and just a little more time, make the light even and consistent throughout. The sub and amp encloser are very nice minus the light strips (yet again). I think I've said light strips like 4 times now but I cannot express how shitty they make the car look. Not even going to comment on the gadgets.
I'm really surprised at the responses so far in this thread but given the sigs that I'm seeings, you guys aren't too far from the same page. There's still hope for this thread yet. Repent on your ricer ways and return to the world of cars that actually look good and won't get laughed at by 90% of the people that see it cruising down the highway (In their rear view mirrors because its an automatic weighed down by tacky LED strips).
