what do you guys think of the FD with a porsche front end.....
I agree that all of these cars look hilarious, but they've made it on the pages of most car magazines.

........

.....again I'm not a fan of them, but I appreciate these folks' work....

"I think I just threw up in my mouth a little..."

But either way I do like the fact that they went through the effort of doing something instead of just wondering what it'd be like. In that respect great job, it's just not my flavor.

Okay I just looked at it again and it's not quite vomit inducing...but I still don't like it too much. Anyone know who did the car (nice wheels though)?

Okay on that vomit inducing note...yea i think I just puked my guts out...that Civic in real sports car clothing is disgusting. My soul hurts after seeing this car. I don't really think the FC and FD fit together to well, they both have the obvious similarities but it's kinda hard to put both cars into one body one way or the other. They do flow together better than some cars though. I wonder what it looks like when standing next to it though, might look better.

Is that even an FD front end??? It looks more like a Knight Sports front end.

Ok cool at least I was right in that it wasnt an FD front end. It doesnt look too bad but I dont think that it fits as well as some other alternatives out there.

Besides, it's pretty clear the hard work went into the second, considerably more successful attempt. The first attempt seems to be completely devoid of anything ressembling work, skill, talent, a clue...
Good point, i do like the second FC/FD hybrid though, that civic somone posted is just wrong, why the hell to people continue to modify civics ? . . . .

I personally think that is awful!! Both cars are beautiful in their own way. But the two different types of body lines do not mesh well together. Like oil and water IMO.

P.S. I'm talking about the FC with the FD front end, not the RE FD.

I dunno.... Having joined the Dark Side from building/ Modding/ Racing Hondas and Acuras, that doesn't look bad....

As a Hybrid. As far as production goes?

No.


For a SHOW car?



Also, it DOES have a better mouth for a full FMIC.

True?
