Now it just looks like another dark blob moving down the road. So disgusting how deranged stylist have corrupted the car market.
As much as I disagree, I appreciate your opinion on it.

I loved the Kizashi in it's stock format, one of the reasons I bought the car but over time I always wanted to put my own touches on it, to make it stand out a little more.
It got strange looks anyway as it was so unique but with additions to it, it confuses people more & I love that.

The wind deflectors & mudflaps were nice little additions. The stickers were more a supportive things of Car communities/forums that friends etc ran, those however aren't as appealing to me anymore & I'm probably going to take them off.
The alloys needed refurbished & I felt they'd look good in a darker grey or black, I went with the black as I felt with changes to the chrome, it would give it a nicer, sleeker look & if I was able to keep it clean, it would. Need the little lowering too, the gap in the arches was too big to be honest! :')

I personally feel everyone needs to put their own little touches on vehicles, personalise them, make them yours. Others they're all the same & boring!
I'll definitely slate someone if they do something ridiculous but also have some respect for them wanting to be different.
As for "another dark blob", I like that, that is more my thing that bein colourful & out there. I like the subtlety that darkness gives on a car.

I haven't uploaded pictures for a little while, so here is two! :)

I may not have the Kizashi much longer, something new is on the horizon!

Thanks! :)

It's great to see the vision I had 4 years ago when I bought it finally playing out, couldn't be happier!
All subtle little things, nothing too over the top, but it all adds in together nicely!

I've been having a look online recently to gauge the price of Kizashi's for selling mine & I've just found one that you're going to love since you're not keen on mine! ;)

I'm sorry to say that the Kizashi has now officially been replaced!

Two days ago I picked up a Golf R Estate & that is now my new daily driver!
I still have Suzuki for the time being while I just tidy it up to sell it. Need to replace the rear shocks & I want to clean up some of the paintwork that's been chipped etc with time so that it's nice & clean for it's new owners!
