Is it just me or is that wing a little bit in bad taste for the FC? I like the color of the car though.

Wait a minute...
I took a second look at that picture and just noticed that your car has a hood scoop. But in your profile, it says N/A. What is up with that?

hey man, dont listen to what all these people say, i think that your car looks damn good and i wouldt change **** if thats the way you like it. Why do people allways have to get on and point out **** they dont like on someone elses car? It bugs the **** out of me. If they like it leave them alone.

Heh... I am not really criticizing his car per se. Just curious what made him decide to put a hood scoop meant for a Turbo II on an N/A. Yes, I agree his car looks good and a lot of work went into it I assume as well. Just sometimes things like those big-*** wings can mark you as the ever-so-debated-but-never-really-defined ricer.

People are entitled to voice their opinions. If you post something you should be completely prepared for some people to not like it. Otherwise don't bother.

The dumbass guy who had the car before me put a TII hood on mine, nothing wrong with it IMO, just the person's preference. But now that I own it, it is going untill I actually go turbo.

I like the style of the TII hood, I think it enhances the look of the car, not to mention clear a little heat out of the engine bay. Damn if you dont want it, Ill trade you for an n/a hood. I love the paint, really nice.

Superpimp... your car is just that... super-pimp.

Nice color, and the stickers and wing are tastefully done.

The only thing I would change on it, is the wing's end-peices. The curved bottom doesn't flow with the car. Just a little criticism; the overall package is very nice. *thumbsup*

To me a T2 hood on an N/A car is fine. People like the looks, so what? Lots of T2 owners that have FMIC's still retain the T2 hood....but why? Hmmm, maybe because they like the look of it better I suppose, but once you've gone FMIC the hood scoop is nothing more than decorative.

Anyhow, as for the original post.....you car looks great man, and the color is awesome.

Thumbs up

Wow, pardon me for asking, but what body kit is that? (Im a newb) and what wheels are those? That is a DANG nice looking fc. Probably up there with one of the best I've seen. I love it. I think that the real headlights (I forgot what they are called, but they replacce the popup ones) would really look slick on it to. Again, GREAT GREAT looking care. A+ ;-) Now get that thing to move fast(er) than it looks.

nice car! I like everything except the sleepy eyes. I think it makes it look ghetto and it messes with the cars lines. The GT spoiler is cool but the rounded edges of it dont flow very well with the car. You got any more pictures of it?

hell, either that picture is dark or this monitor is fucked up, I can barely see the front of the car.

And as for the wing, I want to see it without the back hatch up. Then i'll decide if I like it or not.

Noone respects Santiago's opinion... as he likes true duals.

You'd be better off not seconding it...
