Yeah that is really really nice. Really like the black 'rear diffuser' + front grill section as well as the matte black boot panel with efini badge. Glad you put the decals on the inside of the bonnet as well, really tastefully done.
The black kicker panel kind of looks out of place but not really... i'm sure you made that decision out of choice  Good work

Thank you all for the verbal cries! Frankly was very hard work and constant.
Projet.r.racing, What idea I stole? Hehe Telefoongids, Here I leave images of wheels & calipers, the color of the wheel is the titanium gray of Mazda3 but with matte finshed

Yeah woo, Kosei rims nice paint details there
and brake calipers too. Did you spray them noble green to pay tribute to the 323's former life?

omg thats the each look i want for the hardtop, even has the charcoal wheels.
mate you have an amazing looking lantis, all it needs is that turbo and you'll be sexy and fast. i love how you shaped the bonnet so it retains a curve to it above the lights, really looks good

That's a stunning car. I find that sometimes the BA modified cars leave something lacking. (My personal opinion.) But this is one of the true examples of a properly modified car done right!
Congrats man!

Wow!! Splendid work! Probably the most tastefully modified/restored Lantis I've ever seen.
Congratulations. Excellent.
