I guess to each his own.
I'd much rather have the door handles blend into the side of the
car rather than stand out. The mirrors I'm not sure about.

This is in Richmond, BC (Canada)

Most of the population is from Hong Kong and the custom cars were pretty interesting (when I lived there)

Guys had black wheels in 1995

Although lots of Fancy Kleenex Boxes in the rear deck of Honda Civics too

Methinks wrapping the roof with black graphite on a white car would blend in better with the black door handles & side mirrors. Anyone notice the exhaust tips are sticking disproportionally too far out? Remind me of the coffee can muffler that I often see on a Civic. Definitely not my cup of tea ... but to each his own.

Thats the Statis exhaust.. .they designed it like that to give a more agressive appearance.... this is not a user defined parameter.

Actually, no. That exhaust is sticking way out. It's all about how the installer installs the pipes and from Stasis's own instructions, the word STaSIS should be barely visible when cold. When the exhaust heats up, the expansion will protrude the tips further and the whole logo will be visible.

Interesting, one of the photos shows that A7 has an aftermarket cold air intake behind the front bumper....
