Not sure how I feel about this...
 
I always like when I'm out and about and I see an FC or FD. I stopped in to the local Mercedes dealership to pick up parts for my wife's car and I saw this sitting outside the service area.

Not sure how I feel about it... In some ways I think it looks pretty funky, and I've thought I've just about every mod out there for FC's, but never this one, and in other ways I think that these light covers kind of ruined the lines of the car that I fell in love with a long time ago.

What is everyone's opinions? Has anyone ever seen these before?

Racing BEat used to produce that front end. I forget what it's called, but there was a guy on here a little while ago who had an FC with it.

It's not my car, just one that I saw out and about...
I don't think the dealership, or authorities for that matter would appreciate if I were to "burn it with fire."

Ahhh dammit, here comes RB RX7 to tell us about his wonderful car and the history behind that damn bodykit...

86base 04-12-10 03:54 PM

At first glance it looks like a Dodge Stealth.

Breaksofresh 04-12-10 03:59 PM

Sunglasses!

JustJeff 04-12-10 04:12 PM

I do like the rims and paint scheme.....the bumper and headlight thingie, not so much. I agree with the OP it kinda changes the lines of the car, elongates the front bumper, etc

ICEY? 04-12-10 04:16 PM

i hate that front

The CzAR 04-12-10 04:31 PM

Looks like ass. Case closed.

duo2999 04-12-10 04:47 PM

if the nose was same length as the stock bumper it might look good.

and probably ditch the black things in front of the headlights. i can take a guess they server a purpose like the blinkers, but as it is...its terrible.

KhanArtisT 04-12-10 05:35 PM

Hideous. Dumbest idea ever.

rotordad 04-12-10 06:14 PM

LoL. I've seen that front only in the old racing beat catalogue I have, but never in person. Its comforting to know it looks as brutal out in real life as it did in the catalogue. :D

idrivearx7 04-12-10 11:20 PM

the back looks fine. but the front sunglasses thing makes the car look like an alien. or a bug. lol. i'd still drive it though. only if i got it for a good ass deal

xxifearixx 04-13-10 01:11 AM

if the nose was shorter i wouldnt mine owning it

DC 91 fc3s 04-13-10 03:15 AM

sharingan 19 04-13-10 07:19 AM

Wow, fail!

87 t-66 04-13-10 04:13 PM

do not want.

magus2222 04-13-10 08:25 PM

ya, that guy with the white one is always saying "this is the way mazda should have made them.........blah blah blah"
its hideous, i would take some of the shitty body kits over this nose any day
