*All of this criticizing is based towards A&A, not Garm or Guillermo.
1) Front / It looks bloated. The curving between the fender and the bumper is wrong, and it retained none of the actual OEM shape. There is way to much filler on the front lip, making it look even bigger than it really is. There are small gap issues in the front bumper also.
2) Sides / The fender shape is to wide, causing the curves of it to just fall flat. Not enough thinking went in to this part, because if it was, the original line that separates the lower body from the upper wouldnt be squiggly and going everywhere. The vents weren't given enough consideration either. It more or less looks like it was just cut out without a care. If it was done properly, the front would follow the curves of the fender, and wouldn't be as "deep" as it is. The rear would actually flow with something, instead of being a random rectangle. The sideskirts are awful. It's as wavy as the ocean. I understand it being 1 off, but atleast make it smooth, not just some giant blob.
3) Rear / W.T.F. First off, the sides of the rear bumper curve in WAY to far then just make a very sudden stop, which looks very, very cheap. The line above the rear diffuser isnt straight in the very least, and you can also tell its wavy like no tomorrow. The tail light surrounds are to bulky, the end of the bumper connecting to the surrounds look like they were just pinched off, the bumper is also off color for a fully sprayed car. The gaps between the corner of the hatch and the bumper are horrendous. A dual exhaust is much needed, but then again the diffuser doesn't do anything for purpose. You can see that the back was just blocked off, instead of having it breathe and do what a diffuser is supposed to do. The molded kaminari spoiler is nice, but to bad you can clearly see the line on the bottom of it, connecting it to the hatch. You can also tell theres major gaps between the tail light, the bumper, and the tail light surrounds.
4) Wheels - Overall / The rims need to be spaced out more, but then that would only cause more of the back tire to be exposed. Either the coilovers need to be adjusted lower, or all of the body needs to drop, since it sits high as hell.
5) Interior / Did an ok job with this, just needs new seats. I'm no where near a fan of it, but if it had a different color combination then maybe.

the clearcorners headlights will be on it next week. They came out really nice.
That is a Kaminari flush-mount wing molded to the stock hatch.
No comment on the comments, just sharing pics of my daily driver.
It'll never be done.
