nah, looks pretty stock to me, beautiful example of a stock 1st gen, I would have to say one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
I think it looks different because of the drag slicks

ouch man i dont like that back window at all. blind spot must be huge now and prolly weighs a lot more than the stock glass. thats the 2nd time ive seen a 3rd brake light like that, looks kinda cool. the mirrors look funny to me, anyone else see that. can you even put stuff under it? somebody went through some trouble on that car, i'll give it that. not flamin, just tellin you what i think of it. how do you like the right hand drive? i think id feel like a mail man and plus i dunno how well id shift left handed. whats it got under the hood?

I wonder what he has that is from HKS ? I would assume its not just a sticker. And is that a TRD sticker?

It's got the "Rabbit Ears" for In-Car TV.

SERIOUSLY...

Who makes that front Bumber? I am still
looking for this body kit.

And it appears to be the same style/company.

If I knew the brand, I'd have at least
somewhere to start.

The rear tail lights are from a nissan skyline, I had a body shop in japan do the mod.. I had a street port 12A years ago and went back to stock. It's been in storage for 6 yrs while I returned to japan again. I have two of them will post my 79 right hand drive in a couple of weeks..

Direct Freak, that body kit looks sick. I am shure its a Jspec body kit.

Theres probably hundreds of body kits for the FB in japan.
