My camera is not the greatest, but I snapped a few pics today. I have 2 front wheels on driver side, still waiting on my wider rears.
New pics.....body work done!

I love all your sounds.
Lookin SWETT Ken!
I can't wait to see it with a little more rubber under the rear. Those wheels are 1000% better than what you used to have on your car. I hate that sig pic of your car because of the wheels. 4WD mode and narrow spokes just doesn't do it for me. Now I see why you would redo that whole car that was so nice before.

Thanks guys, it is inside...lol. Rear hatch will be tinted to match 1/4 glass when it's warmer too.
I am not trying to sound like a know-it-all, or a jackass, especially because I like what you have done with your car. However, as an A70 connoisseur, I do have some observations and opinions that may be of interest to you. You posted looking for comments and opinions, so I hope that I don't upset you with what I have to say.
Not being a hater but I think that within your car there is a conflict of interests. Looking at the pics, that front and rear are really eye-catching and aggressive, while the rest of the car looks subdued, classy, and clean. The chrome trim comes off as upscale, classy, and sophisticated. It looks like it could have been an LX (luxury) model of the A70, but if it were an upscale luxury model, why does the rest of the car look aggressive/racer? I love the black-out turns and tails, but again, blacked out cars are not meant to stand out. The blacked out turn signals and tails come off as subdued. Blackout is stealth. However a Maxx Evo front and Kaminari rear scream "look at me!" Finally, the almost overly simple black wheels (with no real lip) are very understated and inconspicuous. Which works if that's what you were going for, but the contrast against other parts of the car make me wonder if Volk Racing or Work Wheels suddenly went out of business and nobody told me.
The Classy/Clean and Extreme looks together make the car look as if it's having an identity crisis. I think it would behoove you to decide which direction you're going with your car.
If it's extreme, you need a different wing like a Regulus, Bomex whale tail, or something a bit more flamboyant, as well as some eye-catching, deep dish wheels to get a little more aggressive stance. IMO you can't have that front and rear end, with a stock wing... especially on a red car. Judging by what you've started with, I say tint all of the glass (as dark as the law will allow), grab some wheels with lip and some bling, slap on a whale tail, or even an ADR GTC wing and your car will look as aggressive as the front and rear you've already chosen.
Or, if classy is what you're after, I would go back to the stock front with a lip (or even a Gracer front), and Bomex rears.
All in all, clean work and if you're happy, I'm happy.

LOL Jag, that is a deep analysis! I do have the 10" wheels with the lip coming, as I said in first post, don't think much else will change though....moldings possibly, if that. No, negative comments of that type don't bother me, I have thick skin.
When you hear it going down the rode, you know the identity....no crisis there. I'm just not hip on big fugly wings, though I do like the whale tail.

Looks good, but I think you should blackout the side markers to go with the rest of the lights and then they'd blend into the trim alot more.
LMAO very first instinct was to reach for the reply button and "It needs bigger rears" 
Very clean Ken well done!
