I think that is one of the ugliest kits out there, kills the classic lines of a FB. Also, it's not a kit, it's a custom job.

Edit: Don't know if it's just me, or if the forum fucked up. But I posted this after unreality posted the pic of the purple pos.

The search function seems to be dead since the ISP switch...

But, I personally think this is the best looking kit out there:



Looks better in red.

Totally joking about the purple monster.

I know it's custom =P

It just sets the older forum members off like fireworks, I love it.

That purple car really isn't that bad. It does wreck the classic lines of the first gen, but it's not that bad. Why does everyone hate it so much??

Find a Pacific kit from the '80s, that's the coolest one out there, imo.

Do a search for a member named Adrenalife. He has a really nice FB with a Pacific kit.

They stopped making the actual Pacifica style widebody kits. There is a company making decent looking knock-off's, but I lost the link to the website a while back and I can't find it anywhere.
