Talking restyle after accident

hi
i purchased a 2003 suzuka blue s2k that had an amuse lip, OEM wing, TEIN lowering springs and an intake
but 2 months ago i had this freak accident that led me to kiss the curb .
along with fixing the car up, i decided to change the color of the car since i wasnt so sure about the original suzuka color.

i decided to go with LBP since there are no LBP's in kuwait
i brought Saud2k's bodykit along with his T1R 60mm exhaust
i brought 04-05 rims and decided to paint them white
i also brought APR side CF mirrors
i brought a MOMO tuner steering wheel and i kept the blue interior

i quite happy with how everything turned out, C&C welcome
PS: excuse some of the fotos, some were taken with a mobile phone


this is the look of the car when i first brought it:




this is what happens when u get too close to the kurb





this when the garage was doing the respray:





and this is the final result:

Enkei stickers + Aftermarket lugs on stock wheels?

Nice paint though.

pretty nice! i don't like the rear valences or the front lip, but i do like the sideskirts, the new color, and the wheels.

what does the engine bay look like?

what kind of suspension work needed to be done?

Go put a Takata patch on your seatbelts then, because last time i checked our oem belts were made by takata.

The point was putting enkei stickers on an OEM wheel that had no stickers to begin with.

+1 Love the change but certain things are overdone.

What about the shape of your lugs vs your oem wheels? conical vs spherical.

They are really not suppose to fit.

But do correct me if im wrong. I'd love some aftermarket lugs on my painted oem also.
