1. Hood
2. Rims
3. Over fenders
4. Wing
5. Head light Cover

Thanks so much for the help guys!

The wheels look like type c watanabes.
The flares look like ZG flares. $200 a set or so.

It's kinda cool looking, I like it in a certain aspect. But I like my car almost all original - but I can definitely see how this car would be a head turner

That headlight cover is vented, to allow cooler air into the passenger side of the engine... I recall seeing that somewhere on the forum here. Wondering what those tubes coming out right beside the license plate are for though, turbo related? Sorry, I'm turbo-dumb.

Anyways, cool looking ride, it's growing on me.

I think you can get that vented headlight cover from Mariah. I don't know if this thing is boosted though. I mean. I don't see an intercooler, and I'm not sure that the vented hood would provide enough air flow for a top mount.

I love the look of this thing!

i believe the hood is there to release the heated air out of the engine bay i mean it looks like the vented hoods from the s13s and that's the purpose for those and i think the car looks kinda cool but i like all stock fbs the best

The rest of the pictures from that photoshoot/car meet. The 30+ cars shot at that Club22C meet were all shot in the same fashion:
Front 1/4
Side
Rear 1/4
Rear
Engine

The hood can be purchased from ERC here but as noted on their website they currently do not have an English speaking liaison so communication will likely be difficult.

http://www.erc-rotary.com/parts/aero-sa22c.htm

They also have the infamous "gill" hood that I personally want which can be found on the orange and black cars attached.

If you'd like I can upload and post all the pictures I have collected from this meet, quite a few different styles and tastes amongst the cars.
