I really like the stock look, just lowered, I'd keep mine this way if it was feasable.



But otherwise, Carl's car is probably one of my favorites.

lol, the hubcaps arnt staying. I dont want it to just have steeles. But im getting a TII front and rear end installed and those are 5 lug instead of the 4 lug im on now. I didnt see a reason to spend 1k+ on rims when id just have to change them again in a month or so.

You really need to see it with your own eyes to appreciate how complex the painting was...

its actually quite simple when they do the marble effect.. I was watching somthing ,and all the do is get some painting plastic and stick it on top and move it around..and presto you get you m,arble effect..I'll try to find pics later

Does anyone else think (like me), that the FARTHER you stray away from the stock body-lines, the UGLIER the FC becomes?

For example, I think the 'half pop-up/half projection' kits look TERRIBLE! Like an older 300zx

Nah. its just you.
Its good to have variety. If you think its ugly, you obviously have no taste.
theres really nothing ugly about it , headlight kits stray away from extra weight of the headlight assembly, motor. and looking flush with the body lines.I don't know what your talking about the R-Magic Aero is one of the most flush aero parts available for the FC and matches with the body lines very well.

sure is ugly alright...

yeah, i second that.. it's just u... put a little personal expression into the body lines.. or have an AFTERMARKET company help u out.. stock is well... STOCK.. FC's do have great body lines right out of the box.. but there's nothing wrong with givin it a little sumthin extra.. just to say: KONICHIWA BITCHES!!!
