Default JDM, It's As Good As Gold

This is a customer car of ours that I stumbled upon in our server.

The first thing you will probably notice is the Amuse GT-1 Widebody with a few custom fabrication parts here and there such as the carbon overlay side diffusers and the rear exhaust tips. I think the Marga Hills rear wing is a unique choice for this build.

Please share your input.

This car was designed to focus more on the "show" aspect of design so it is a little extreme for daily driving. Granted, you are correct about the different angles in a sense that the overall design of this car was to catch people's eye and make them do double takes when looking at the car from certain angles.

its not ricey at all, almost everything on there provides some sort of function... however, I do not like it. Wing goes with the widebody kit but the widebody is ugly IMO. The hood doesnt go with it at all, big square vent eww. Fenders look bad at the bottem, wheels are so last year. Tinted headlights went out of style before they were in style. Dont like the way the exhaust exists. I dont just mean this car, im not a big fan of any s2k with Amuse widebody. Color scheme looks like its right out of Top Secret japan haha.

I like hearing when people still respect something they do not like. In the end that is what is so great about this industry, mad respect of products whether you like them or not.

I know this is irrelevant to the customer car but with the title being "JDM, it's as good as Gold" I thought that this would fit right in. We recently received three limited edition Top Secret 5 point roll cages with harness bar for stock. We have already sold one 5pt and a four point. Here are a few pics. Please tell me what you think:
