i like it... just.
it's a bit outragous, but i like it for some reason. the side skirts don't match the front or rear. not wide enough or outragous like the rest of it. keep it me thinkz. --- if you wanna add more bling to it, get some chrome mirror covers from a BA Astina to match the front grill and rear number plate roof. |

yeah that is the thing im working on fixing. i can either get some new sides that are fatter, get these ones customised out by a mate, or trim the front bar down a bit.

looks good, very very individual i must say
as ryan said, chrome mirrors would look good, plus maybe another inch taken out of the height... would you be able to get us better pics with light??? Cheers Marc

Damn, that front and rear look great! Really digging the front.
But yeah, needs fatter skirts. Maybe the Speedzone ones, or the Erebuni ones. I think the Accolade ones would suit the rest of it best as they're deeper and a bit more squared off. It's that, or cut the SP20 skirts in half and add about 3 inches to the middle of them to make them lower! Probably not as stupid as it sounds actually, as the lines of the SP20 work well with the shapes of the front and rear.

i love it man.. looks awesome ye as everyone else is saying skirts neet to be a little wider. if anything get some fibreglass and make the front and the back of the skirt come out so it is as wide as your front n rear... that way it will flow better n have that sexy hourglass shape when you look at it from the top (not that ANYONE will but yea )

+1 for more funky skirts and IMO a different set of rims.
Either full bling chrome plus some chrome tail lights for show (might get paid out for rice as you said but i think itll look good) or A set of black rims and tinted or black tail lights (if you wanna get the more racey look) But yeah the car looks heaps good as is already

well if your interested i might be interested in selling them? but im only considering atm.
phly: the rims are brand new (only about 4months old), and you cnt get anyother taillights for the laser. i have a fewoptions im working out for the sides atm, but im still unsure...

I agree that the sides don't really match the rest as much, but I like them anyways. The back looks great, but I can't stand the front bar. Way too ricey for me, looks like the sort of thing you'd see on a skyline.
The odd shapes of the headlights and taillights kinda irk me a bit too, but I'm a bit prejudiced against lasers methinks. Can you get eyelids for your car? I'm thinking something like this: . MS paint ftw lol. Straight across isn't necessarily the best shape, but you get the idea. |
