Not too bad, but the back is jacked up like a 4x4.

Makes it kind of look like a 70's muscle car. Strange look for an FC. If only we could get a headlight kit that looked good

I really dig the headlights...looks like a Diablo/300ZX (which actually both use the exact same headlight assembly). Would you be using that assembly for your kit? The only other thing I'm not wild about is the rear wing.

Nice, so I assuem that august is when the bodykit is coming to you? And I think that you(maybe we) should make a couple of differences betweent the kit you keep for yourself and everyone elses, it has to be a little bit cooler don't cha know. And I am not sure on what my summer hours are going to be but it looks like I will have tues, thurs and fri off.

For some reason I like your avatar pic a lot better, even though its the same kit. I think this chop kind of looks like an Integra

Produce the headlamp kit, i'd purchase it IF it's complete and looks professional. I really do like the way that looks. Would the headlight kit be able to be used with a factory style hood?

Keep up the great work.

Regards,

Definitely does not look like it can be used with a factory hood. It angles back into the hood.

yes I will make a plastic peice that extends from the headlight like RE so it will fit fine but for those people that want to go all out can opt for the matching hood....and thats funny is the pic makes it look a lil like a teg..but that is something i hathed up like in an hour for some fun to get a different angle....the avatar pic i had already stared at and fantasized about for too long...and the hood in the for sale section is the last of its kind.....

Hood looks good, but bring out the rear hatch glass in photoshop. It looks to trans-am-ish by squaring it off.

If you want pics of louvered hoods:

i like it, a little rough around the edges but would look great imo. i really like the angled headlights, much better than some kits i have seen.
