So this is my new kizashi that i am very fond of, I've been tinkering with the aesthetic aspect on it and wanted to get some feedback and maybe some new ideas! I'm saving up to buy rims so don't worry about that.

Nice man... I like the Kizashi on the side and the lines ... it's different. Personally I would go with black rims on your white Kizashi. It always looks good on a white car.

Thats what i was thinking! but i need to save up money and what not before i can buy a decent set of rims.
i was honestly thinking about plastidipping the hubcaps while i saved up, but don't know whether to go matte or glossy

Okay I have to ask: what's up with the hood pins?

I'd put the stripes on the rear quarter panel, not the front. On the front, they kind of look like eyebrows to the car's face. Yeah, sorry, now you will probably always see eyebrows. However, the two stripes on the rear quarter panel look is a Dodge thing and even part of their logo.

For wheels, I'd go with gunmetal. Black is good but overdone with white cars.

And Dodge even stole it from Chevy, who used to use the two stripe decoration on the GranSport cars

It's a petty you can't get your bonnet to stay down, have you not taken it to a dealer

the car already had the pins on it, i didn't dislike them so i decided to work around it.
I had originally placed the stripes further back but it looked like i was ripping off dodge and really didn't like it much.

i hadn't given much thought to gun metal, but its actually a great idea for rims on a white car! plus its different from the usual black and white. :o

i still have enough left over matt black to do the roof, but i also have chrome black and gloss black and i can't seem to make up my mind on which one to use :?:

Gunmetal on white is dope. If you want to try out black, paint your hubcaps black. If you really like it, then get black alloys. If you aren't loving black, maybe try gunmetal for alloys. I think gunmetal looks good on white or black cars. I'd get gunmetal wheels too but I really like my OEM 18' alloys that come with Sport models.

I agree with gun metal wheels. I never liked how black wheels "disappear" into the wheel well.

I think gloss vinyl is better for the roof. Might look like a tinted panoramic sunroof :P
