Yeah, good skill. I also like the sideskirts. Not much else.

This person is very talented.

I love *****.

for those of you who think its an integra taillight... you're right, they are. i know it very well coz i see them all the time here in stockton. (and yes, i am sick of them).

the work is done exceptionally well, the wide flares look really cool.

my 2 cents... the rear valance is a little bit too much, the rear spoiler could be better off in the scrap yard(should have gone for a whale tail or something), and the wheel spacer... cant you get a wheel with that much backspace? i mean isnt that bad for the axle/hub or something?

but overall, i agree with most of you, it is a fine example of hard work and dedication blindly wasted.

First off... i hate the spoiler with a passion. Any aluminum Boeing wing will never win my respect. Secondly, the rear apron looks like a whale because it is so huge... plus altezza lights on an 85 car, no matter how different it looks... just is really wrong to me.
HOWEVER The car is sick. I love the rims and the spacer in between teh two taillights. The lines of the front and rear fenders are just plain awesome. The flow together really nicely, but aren't over the top. The sideskirts totally match the car and the way the fender lines go. Even if the guy doesn't paint the car, the color scheme looks bad *** as it is.
Overall i would say bad ***.
Take off teh aluminum wing and even a Supra style wing and it would look a lot better.
Make rear apron not as big as my dick. The thing is just plain too huge like around the lower part of it.
Replace altezza lights with, like someone mentioned earlier, a second gen rx-7 taillights and that car would be the sweetest looking FB ever possibly conceived.

Too bad that guy is more knowledgeable about rotaries than damn near anyone on this forum....
Ok, whatever.<rolling eyes> Making a statement like that doesn't make it true. Why would anyone defend someone who makes a nice Rx-7 look like a honda?

Whoever it was did a great job, even though the car looks like ****. Oh well, it's his car.

There's an awsome seven I've seen around here. It's got a reallll nice body kit that looks special molded. I've seen it twice around here and it's awsome.

Maybe I'll catch the guy some time and ask him for a pic.

Wow, I actually like it. Not too fond of the tail lights myself, but still looks very nice. I too want to see it painted. I wonder what color he'll choose.

I love the craftsmanship, dislike the taillights and the wing. Inside the rear wheels does look fishy, and out of place. The rims are nice as well, but if it was my car, there would be different tail lights, and a Supra style spoiler. Paint it a great color, and you would have one helluva car. He did a great job, just had a brainfart of HonDUH along the way.

I like it. But then again, look at my car(I love widedody's). I wish he would have left the original tailights also. The sideskirts look amazing.

I give him props

Well, when ya think about it, no matter WHAT vehicle ANYBODY posted in here, be it a $100 junker or a million dollar Mclearen F1 street car, you are going to have those that HATE it, those that LOVE it and those that just wanna "bag" every effort. It's the same with chicks, some guys girls are so ugly and yet, the guy thinks they "sweet" .
Lol, I too reckon he's done a great job, and I too like most here would have a smaller wing, and different tail lights, BUT - it's done now, I doubt if he's gonna change it. I also cant wait to see it painted. Good on him.
