1. Its DIRTY. Looks like they made no attempt to clean it. 2. JC Whitney cowl induction pieces look like crap. Ruins the car. 3. Flat black again? 4. I would hit it untill it pressed charges.

Agree with the flat black comment.. Liking the wheels (HRE's?) but the calipers are too much..

I'd like to see the rear end more.And yes, hideous rims. A the stereotypical non-blingbling paint, with stereotypical blingbling rims. I'm surprised there wasn't a rupture in the space time continuum.

elminate the wheel gap and i'de hit it like a home-run in the ninth inning. Although i wish there was a clutch and a gated shifter  . The wheels arent bad, don't seem to fit the car/scheme as for the calipers YES PLEASE!!! with that power you will need that braking force, although that is an awkward bright yellow 
-Boost Rising...Sr20det 
Gripping the wheel, throwing the shifter and kicking the clutch at WOT is when i'm released from the daily grind and the problems that follow.

Flat/satin black only looks good on older rods, race prototypes and bikes.Knowing MTM - I'm surprised they didn't chrome the CAR and black the wheels.

Wheels couldn't be more out of place, as has been said. I like the flat black for a museum car. It would suck to maintain I'll bet. I guess if you can afford that package though you proabably have an in-house detailer to go with your home chef and home housekeeper.

Apparently, it's been built for a European customer and cost around $400,000.

looks cheap... the engine bay looks cheap, the wheels are expensive but look cheap (and tacky, which don't even match the exterior) the exterior could have had a nicer treatment as well... at least a satin silver would have looked somewhat modern.

Wheels and calipers: 
Rest of car: !
Although, I find the front end a little to poky, seems too aggressive compared to the rest of the car to me.
I'm glad this site crashes sporadically; otherwise, I'd never get anything done!

Too bad about those wheels... and the fact that they forgot to paint it. I'm sure its fast, though.
How many times can you rebuild a complex automotive component before you have two of them?

No thanks...I'll wait until the factory figures out how to keep the V10 from catching on fire instead.Flat black does NOTHING for that car, either.
