Skyline Front End on FC3S!?

Hey all funny lil story here.. i was sitting on the computer as always and noticed my RC Skyline...And then i thought about my RX7 and im like i wonder how it would look to slap a skyline front end on a FC3S. So i tested my Gimp skillz to see if i could do it. Anyways this is just for fun but what you think of the front clip?

It looks nice. They should produce something like this for the fc's. Just like how they do it for civics.

I like it sort of... the GT-R bumper is probably wider though.

If you wanna be a troll



Be a troll


Ill admit it isnt the best looking thing(because of the shop mainly), but most of the kits for the FC look way worse, or the good ones are stupid expensive. I Think that if someone were to do this and not go half assed about it it would look good, but ill admit that it is not my cup of tea,(a S5 front bumper and silvia lip is), but the rigid lines of the R32 and R34 front bumper may accually look good on the FC.
