Not feeling it at all. 
Looks too busy, which, in turn, looks ricey. With the front spoiler and the RK (eww) rear bumper, you at least need side skirts to balance it. That might help a little. It would look MUCH better with a stock or more subtle hood. Also, the fact that you are using OEM wheels with all the extra crap added just makes the car look cheap. OEM wheels are great on a stock car, but on a modded car they remind me of the Honduh kids running around with body-kitted Civics rolling on stock wheels.
But, it is your car, so, as long as you like it, screw what I think. Enjoy it!

So, OP, are you asking our opinions on what you did to the car, or did you just want to show us what you did to it?
I'm asking because I really doubt you're going to want to hear 90% of our opinions . But if you're just showing us your pics...well, umm...good photography.

I've never thought that hood really matched the car...but it's passable. That rear bumper on the other hand, is absolutely terrible. The squared light recesses, and everything else about it looks gaudy and horrible.
How does it drive with 315's in the front? That seems a bit excessive.

Nice job! I have been working on a mockup and have not made it that far. I am going to put the diffuser in the back. It looks great on your car. I have a daytona wing that is 86" across with the carbon fiber end plates. The spoiler is done and I have the side plates done. I have a charger on my car and the hood just barely has a rise on it so it looks stock. I need some more airflow and was wondering with your center scoop wherer the licence plate goes. did you take it on into the shroud to ram air the radiator to pick up some cool air. also what did you do on the bottom. Do your lower front scoops function? I have a drum of resin and several sheets of klegecel coming tomorrow. I hope to finish my kit soon. Are you pulling molds or is yours a one off deal? Can you contact me PM. Nice job.

Reminds me of the Fiero Testarossa... Just too much.... But like others have said, it's your car and if you like it that's all that really matters.
