OH EXCELLENT !!!!

You've even got the inverted "hoodscoop" fresh air headlight intakes.

I SO want to get those type of intakes on the OEM pop-up lights.

That is going to kick some major butt.

I said it in the lounge and I'll repeat it here.

yeah.yeah, as if your baby wasn't a hottie already. BTW how many times have you had people tell you how envious we are that you can just go down he street and get the latest and greatest for our cars without having to put one of your kids on the blackmarket.

We already know velocity is faster but now velocity is a whole frikken lot sexier.
I HATE YOU!!!!!!

Hey Alf! What's with the yellow and black fender? Did you wreck your car?
I want your old front end!

A little taste of things to come:



Wow - don't tint the headlight covers. The above pic hides the coolest part of that nose - the lights.

Man,


So it's /that/ kit. I love that kit!! SoulAssassin, are you going to put the little carbon fiber air splitters on the front, or leave it bare? How about the big wing in the back? You need this one:

*grin* I'm selling it. Paint it body color and slap it on! Sugoi!!!

damn lots o replys!

lemme try and answer everyones questions
the color is going to be factory red with 3 coats of blue pearl on top of that with 2 clear coats turns purple in the light we did a fender already it looks phat.
no the lens covers are going to stay clear just debating about painting the inside of the headlight cavity black or the color of the car, we are going to do it the color of the car first and see how it looks something i can fix later
the yelow and black fenders came of the exhibition drag car and are in way better shape then my old ones so we put those on
the old R magic kit went to a friend of mine that wrecked his knightsports kit
front end total with lights and harnessess and all required hardware was 148,000 yen not bad imo for the phattest looking front end!

Paint the headlight cavities the same color as the rest of the car. These pictures are big but damn do they argue my point for me.

Yo,



About the hood, I like it, low key. Not like some of those god awful 3rd Gen hoods I've seen. Look like Ford RS2000 hoods with vents everywhere. Since you went with the low key hood, ya gonna leave the rear end naked?
