Default project hatchback

I've decided to start my own project, ive done the engine up with a b18c1 turboed motor, now im on the exterior then working may way out then in, here are a few pics on my project, the exterior went from a red that was peeling off to a crappy black that was suppose to be a gloss black but came out flat black (it was suppose to be done by someone that knew how to paint) so what do i do, i did my first paint job to a super white

I saw the first pic and was like this might no go well.
But then went through to the last and it actually doesn't look that bad.
Get rid of that huge tach first of all, get rid of those windshield wipers, and maybe someone on here might lead you in a better direction for a wheel choice. And get that front/rear lip paint matched and get stock side skirts and have them paint matched.

yeah with the rims i chose them becuz i was thinking i was gonna have a glass black car but didnt come out like that, as for the windshield wipers yes i know its cuz i painted them also and already knew i needed new ones, just the same as all the rubber stripping all over the car i need to replace, and for the sideskirts im getting those on sunday (someone decided they wanted my old ones that were on the car more than i did), but thank you for the advice, i was also looking for a trade for the rims but didnt really see anything i liked to trade for yet. Keep the advice coming please

That front and rear strippen is all that bothers me really. oh and the wheels.
haha.

The blue hoses and wiring is a little disturbing but i guess no one will really see that?

I really like how it turned out. IMO lower it a tad. Get some pictures in the sunlight so we can see it better.
