Not really diggin anything on this car. I guess the only cool things on it are the handbrake conversion and the brake/rotor kit but over all it's too "tunerish" for my taste. Kinda looks like a honda guy got his hands on a Lexus or something. If i had more hands i would give it 4 thumbs down.

I'm not feeling the paint, however I think its the tails that are killing it (the red is clashing bad) I cant think of any other way to do them though

I usually don't like the more aggressive styles but he still has parts to make it look classy like the chrome door handles and the Weds Maverick wheels. Those wheels are growing on me a lot. And he has the power to back up the look too. I wanna see this car in action.

The paint is actually pretty cool too. It's very subtle. I wonder if it's Maziora paint.

not bad. If you're gonna put all that work in, don't use ebay headlights though. The guy is obviously going for function before form guys, he's a world famous drift racer that is in and out of 1000hp cars daily.

The paint's ok...never was a fan of chameleon paint except the 03/04 mystic cobras.

as for the tails, i think a light tint to kind of dull down the red would really help out the look of the car.

regardless of how 'ricey' you guys may think it is, the guy did it right and definitely put the time and work and money into it, and that should be respected.

Love the car. I would not build it exactly the same but props to him.

I am going to go against the grain and say I love the headlights. :flamesuit on: As good as some of the retros are out there, most looks like a projector just got shoved into the housing. These has a shroud built to make it look like things belong. Believe me, I have parts sitting around for a retro (including q45s, bmw projectors, halogen projectors, bmw angel eyes, cheap practice housings, titanium SD headlights, ...). Time is an issue but just find finding a way to economically mount everything cleanly has held me back.

I am actually considering getting these as a starting point and see if I can put better projectors into them.
