to each their own, to me it looks way overdone. I also dont see anything that resembles 2012 updates.

I do like the hood and spoiler, so that im not all negative.

the pictures of the hood, rear end exhaust surrounds and the front bumper are all brand new and only finished 3 days ago it took me a week to mount it all up but thanks for the feed back as you say it would not do if we were all alike each to his own sorry i had another thread on here but as i lost the photos i thought i would show the latest shots for this year. my fault i should have said.

This. Could do without all the LED bar lights, decals, and the Lambo doors...

The custom headlight squirts are pretty cool. I like that.

The rear bumper exhaust shrouds are just horrible. Everything else in my opinion is way too busy as someone else mentioned.

The shrouds don't look too bad. I just have no idea why everything is outlined with black, even the panel gaps. WTF? Looks like those rubber door edge guards have been applied to every edge.

Looks good, but it looks overly done. I like the color too.

^^^ Yes by Pettit in UK (on his 3rd supercharger, due to some "mishaps"!) & some sort of custom HKS controller (correct me if I'm wrong Tony!).

Tony - it completely passed me over at Rotorstock that you had a resprayed CF bonnet - but I think I spotted most of the other changes!
