I liked it until the tail light conversion... it looks too roundish...

The rear looks real good taking off the protruding bumper, but now he has no real bumper.

Putting an SA wide body on an FB looks wrong. The FB kit really woulda looked sweet.

YUCK!

It looked good in the middle pictures, with the body kit (exception of those goofy fog light holes)

But molding a late model Integra sedan body kit to the back, with the taillights?

That must be the legendary automobile of Uncle Ben's himself.

That's a pretty impressive bit of work, whether you like the styling or not. I give that guy a ton of respect for acutally doing his kit himself and not just riveting on a new fascia or something. Although, since he seems to be going for the rounded look, you'd think that he would address the stock front bumper.

it was okay until the taillights, then it was inexcusable. It needs more rounding to the front fenders there... and if you changed that and the taillights i think it would look awesome.

I am a former bodyman and... WHOA...What the F*%K
happened there. Do you have any, I mean ANY idea how much work is involved to do that? Hint... hundreds! If only he left well enough alone and put all the effort into the performance part of the car. Hell, my 13BRE Cosmo might not even be able to pull that down the road. To each his own!
Good body work though
