Looks good. That little triangular thing in the middle of the grill reminds me of a Pontiac ><

Love that minivan with the angel on it (or i think it's an angel) I use to want a fancy looking dragon on my first car before (back then when i was young everything had to have a dragon LOL)

Keep up the good work ^^

Unless your car has some really wicked body kit, then you don't need a graphic. Here is a sample of my other kit without graphics.

Just because you studied transportation design, doesn't mean you're a good designer.

Also, just because a car has a wild kit with wild graphics, doesn't mean it looks good.

Regardless, I do like the kit on the first Civic you posted, before the CLK.

I don't see differing styles on the xA that he had originally posted. There are tribal designs on the fiberglass and CF, as well as a dragon theme integrated into both of them also.

ZeroYon, would it be possible to see a picture taken closer to the hood? I'd be interested in taking a closer look at it.

Of course it's possible bro, it's my pleasure. Unfortunately I don't have a really close look picture of the hood right now, so I'll just post these 3 pics. Will take a closer pic tommorow and post it for you. Cheers.

It took us about 2 weeks to put the graphic together (just like puzzles). Re. the dragon, since it's my wife's car and she was born on the year of the Dragon, that's why. ;p

It's not a CLK by the way, but a C-Class Coupe.

Never said I was. But dropping the name of the school you went to for design doesn't make you any better than the rest.

And my bad, I scanned over that car quickly... I should have looked closer.

Sure you can bro, come and visit me anytime you like. You're always welcome. Your car looks cool too bro. I'm sure a lot have been done to your car as well. Glad to be able to meet someone who likes modification as much as I do. Anytime you would like to share any modification topics with me, feel free to drop me a line. Cheers bro.

Right.

There's a very DISTINCT difference between saying something is not attractive, and flat out not appreciating someone's hard work. I'm sure there's a ton of hours that have been put into this car, but that's not going to suddenly change my opinion on it.

I can fully appreciate the work put into this car, but I'm sorry, it's not that attractive. I'm a firm believer in "less is more."
