Looking for a input on how my FC build up would look like.

In search for special look thats not to crazy but clean for my FC iv decided to go with the GP Sports kit. I used a refrence of a car that had the same kit and i vetor arted the body to get an idea of what i want. Yet its not exactly attracts me. Give me feedback.



Sorry for the repost in the Visual section..im not getting any feedback.

**NOTE**Please dont save the image below, ask me first.**

CF reverse Vented Hood
CF Front Lip with Front Under Diffuser
GP sports Front Sides and Rear

Fenders might need to be enlarged ..but i havent added yet to the mix what fenders should i put in? Rolled/overfender/flares/
Optional RE rear Diffuser (need to cut the rear GPS kit to commodate)

Volk wheels
Brembo Gran Turismos 6 pots
RE mirrors
1 driver side Recaro
Full Race Cage (+12pt)
99spec FD lenses
Sleepy Eyes + HID

pic is a little large for the fourm...

I love it! maybe only a little more thought into the side skirts (a little more shape?) over all pretty clean and looks real good. would you actually make the FTP lights look like those? would be awsome if you did love them the most!

Nice Job keep it up.

hmz.. I don't like the sleepy headlights, draw a flushmount in it. and the 99 spec fd lenses don't look right on a fc.
draw that rear diffuser from RE and add the original turbo spoiler.
and with these wheels bigger fenders will look beter.

amazing. You definitely have some talent there. I would not graft the FD lenses in and also go with a gunmetal or bronze colored wheel instead of white on white.

The idea of CF wrapping the bottom of the GP sports front is a great idea.

If you are to do a sleepy eye look get some HID lenses that are the size of that opening....more rectangular than square that way you have proper light output and it makes a nicer fit and finish to the look. Flush mount headlights look like crap on our cars so dont go that route.

Also instead of a white white....how about an Acura Type R Championship white???

so wait is that front end a GP sports front and then you put on a cf front lip in place of the bottom of the kit or what it looks good the wheels i would either change to a different color or get other rims and the FD lights i kind of likethe idea but i think they need to be adjusted alittle to make them look real good on the front

I agree about the headlights I haven't seen flush mount headlights that looked good yet.

But I would have to disagree about the championship white though. I use the have an 92 civic hatchback, it was tiffa white then I painted it championship white when it was painted before clear coat it looked like primer, everyone that went to see it ask when they were going to put on the paint. After clear coat it just looks like white with very little pink mixed in with the white.

Stick to the RX7 white. I'm not a fan of the white on white thing either but I like it with those wheels on this car.

ok so i was contemplating if i wanted to retain a white on white theme, but actually i have decided to go with a Metalic Silver much similar to the 350z silver package.

Wheels are actually going to end up being RPF1 in a Dark Bronze

Im thinking the lights i could do a similar style east Bear flush mount in carbon, but with a plexy glass over the top.

im gona see if i can add an RE look to the body as well as id probably need some wider fenders anyway.

Anything else you guys think of? wana see a back shot i can draw one up of a back too.

I like it! And big props for your artistic talent.

But if you are gonna go with the sleepy eye conversion, buy one of the dual headlight housings that are commonly sold here on the forum. The stock square beams just look a little too bland to go with the sleepy eyes, IMO. I dunno, not trying to knock your vision. Just my personal taste.
