The rim size is a wee-bit small, opt for bigger ones.
Good Bits:
Side skirts are nicely done.
Front mesh grille is good.

Overall very nicely done, considering its your first effort. There's not much one can do to improve the looks of the current elantra.
Well one bit that i forgot to tell you that one of my companies does some fiberglass work , so while the designing and fitment was done by me, the actual product came from my engineers. So its not an easy diy that i can put here. Plus there was a lot of trial and error!

Regarding the car yes i opted for 15" because i live on the outskirts and the roads aren't too good i didn't want to end up with a busted suspension. in 16" its hard to find good alloys for the elantra(at least 2 years ago it was!!!)

The front chin was a bone of contention even when it was under-development but it was something i wanted and if you see the car actually it does not stick out that much........heck why iam i even saying that...............i love it that way dude...

Just like ShahJahan made the Taj Mahal.
wow!! someone just told me on an american forum the other day that it was too small.......... ...........yes black does have the tendency to do that so thats why certain design aspects were made larger otherwise it made the car design too subtle........

And lastly aptly put Mpower i did have some hands chopped off and only god knows what i spent?!!

ps. Thanks all of you for your appreciation. Makes the effort worth it..
