Update:

It looks very cool, But i think that the wheels are too big IMO.

Looks great so far, especially the interior. The black on the dash looks a little too flat though..maybe that's just the photo. Are the black seams on the back of the front seats picked out in paint or are the seats two piece? It's nice to see a kit that has setail on the back of the front seats..they so often don't bother

vwman> The original wheels & 18 inches wheels look too small on this car & I'ven't got 19 inches then I used this rims. I can change this later...

You're right maybe the black area on the dashboard is flat, I can fix it with a black satin color.

I dont think I like the wheels too much. They look too plain for 20 inch. The interior looks great.

I wan't sure if was the pic or not. If it's enamel then you could go over it with matt clear which I find is often not all that flat looking but tens to have a sheen like vinyl upholstery instead.

I'll chime in with wheels complaining. First and foremost, they have no detail. They look like those oversize chrome hubcaps you buy at Walmart. Secondly, they're far too big on the car, giving it a toy-like appearance.

Also, I think you need to go back over the interior. While the color combination is nice, you failed to pick out any dashboard detail, including gauges, radio, heater vents, or anything of that nature. Also, you can very plainly see the nubs where you removed the front seats from the tree, the mold lines along the sides of the front half of the front seats, and the seam where the two halves of the front seats join.

Sand the nub and mold line, fill the seams, and get to work with a small brush and some toothpicks bringing out the detail on the dashboard. You can and should do better.

I agree with Layla's Keeper on the interior - nice colour combo, but the lack of detailing makes it look plain, unfortunately.
