I agree with a everyone but perhaps I can offer a few lower cost options that will make a world of difference.
1st. If you cannot afford a full bumper or don't want one, I would recommend an aftermarket lip spoiler. Even if you get a replica, get something! I would recommend the Intense Motorsports N1 lip which can be had for like $195 shipped!!
2nd. I would recommend an aftermarket grill...they change the front look of the car just enough and make it the look just a bit more clean.
3rd. PLEASE spend $35 and get some clear corners....just tell your GF you're not gonna take her to the movies this Friday. Seriously though, clear side markers were the first thing I did to my car...you'll be surprised how they change the overall look of the car ever so slightly.
4th. Get some springs and drop that B*thch!!! WRC season is over, so there's no need for your car to still be at Rally height.
5th. The wheels seem to have a classy/ sporty look to them, so perhaps that should be the theme carried throughout the car. When you do your car, yo should have an overall theme your targeting, that what separates the cars that when parked on the street make people stop and go wow from the car that make people stop and laugh. The car should never look like its *trying* to be something, it should just BE it.
6th. Please go back to your body shop and see if you can get them to fix that hood fitment a bit more. The passenger side is definitely not sitting perfectly, that the downside of replica parts (seibon) but see if anything can be done. Its often the little things that can make the difference and when all brought together in uniformity can make a huge difference. Now for the price of that hood you have, you can go out and purchase the parts I just listed and I guarantee you car will look 10x better.

the reason everyone is brutal is because the choice of parts and which ones you placed on your car. the front is so subtile with the rest of the car. you have a super aggressive hood and sides. if you are going aggressive get a big bumper to go with your hood and sides. if you dont want a big bumper then remove the sides and hood and keep it clean. but on top of that if you do go with a big bumper you need to lower you car. Cars with "big" kits and no drop look lame. The whole look is to have a low car.
my suggestion is since you already have the parts on your car is to go with the greddy bumper to match your set up, slam the car then repost pics and i bet you will get a way better reaction. good luck.

Wow, you guys are tough on this guy......!
As he mentioned he just got it out of the body shop, it takes a little time to
take care of thing like inside the door jams where the body shop dung is
hiding. He has a nice clean coupe, personally I like the fact that he kept the
OEM grille. Just because he has other mods doesn't mean he's got to dump
the grille like everyone else. He had the hood painted Twilight Blue like the
rest of the G, that beats leaving it unpainted....looks nice! Don't be such a
bunch of tight a$$es, he modded his G like he wanted! I guess posting pic
leaves you open to being flamed......
