help me design a body kit ....!!

anyone have any ideas on a good front and rear look for a first gen?
just like post any other cars that you think that could donate something to the front of a fb ......and the back

all the body kits i see are okay but they all lake something ?

i have stoped on my project car because i lost interest in my plan..

what i did was borrowed the fenders of my fd and took fiberglass molds of them and i also did the hood and front bumber/airdam ......then i hacked the **** out of one of my rusty old shells and started putting it together but ......it end up being way to much work ...and it wasnt really a first gen no more ...

well now i have my nice clean fb turbo that i am primering to paint ,but last night looking in the 3rd gen section i seen a fd with a rear defuser and now i want one on my fb....haha dose any one make one for a fb

if not im going to try and fab one up .

last thing what ever happened to that other fb that was on here that had the 3rd gen body kit on it ? is it still around?

I think a Black CF or FRP rear diffuser and a reproduction CF or FRP Kamei-style air dam would look sick.

i think those rims cost more then my whole car....hahaa

but keep the pics coming ........im still thinking if i should build of the fd fenders ...maybe square them up a bit ....one thing i know is that im going to have to cut about a foot of the front of my donor car .......im not to fond of how far the bumper sticks past the wheels .

i seen a crazy body conversion on granny speeds shop page ....

this was my first attempt at making my body kit .............i cut and shaped it out of blocks of foam.....cant find the rest of the pics ,but i shortened the front about foot.
but i got discouraged and ripped it all off because i decided to copy the 3rd gen fenders.....
