Look back at the very first picture, and look at the glare on the mirrors. Is it just me, or does the angle of the line clash with the door crease too much? I could see a less radical angle, but does anybody else think these mirrors hurt more than help?

there are a lot of beat-the-****-up FC's out there, especially s4's with mouldings falling off and dents and ****, that make FC's seem hideous at times

Wow that white obe first pic of 2nd post by bigdv519, I like those fixed lights actually, not too bad on an FC, you'd think the roundness would suck on the cornered and creased style of the 80s. That's a good modernization buy. So no one agrees with me not liking the mirrors? I guess we all have our opinions.

to be honest, in my opinion i RARELY see clean FCs around, they either got primer, bad paint, ugly wheels, or over done body kits n such.

The first pic in this thread is Boostinmys5s old car as mentioned earlier.


He also owns the green FC which is my favorite FC since green is my favorite color and I like the body kit on it.
A lot of repeating words in that sentence. :-\



How does he go over speed bumps in his car?

Awesome, makes me feel good that somebody cares enough about RX Tuner for that to be the goal! And from looking at your blog, I'd say you're well on your way. Keep up the good work, and get in touch with me when the car is ready.

Here's one the thread starter might like from a body mod perspective. All lower profile non-gaudy mods, mostly blended/molded, it looks mostly stock overall, but there are actually several mods to the body, mostly subtle, but noticable next to a stock FC. Yes, I know, it's swapped, but it's still an FC body, being the point of the thread. </DISCLAIMER>

Dark colors seem to go best with that GP Sports kit... the black and green look intimidating : ) And about the speed bumps... these cars don't look very practical for any kind of bumps... that bumper/lip would be rashed up and scraped/bent in a few weeks/months... one time would do it out of my driveway : ) I agree, however, that black one at the top looks awesome. Green one is a bang up job as well. Way to go.
