I think some fender mounted mirrors would set it off a bit but just my opinion. Car looks great, I want fenders like that later if I ever make my car a track only racer and want HUGE tires. LOVE the car though.

I really dislike how wide body kits look (although that one looks like it's very good craftsmanship). However, considering the engine in that thing, I totally support the widebody.

Great job. I like the customized headlight cover- nice touch. You don't see that style on any car.

My brother is doing a widebody FC project now, and is painting the interior satin black.

I think the only thing i'd have done different is using koni yellows instead of illuminas, just my opinion though.

Looks like the hood & drivers side fender have some alignment issues, same w/ the drivers side headlight cover... I'll be interested in seeing it w/ some paint on it!

yea theres a bit of alignment issue on the driver side that I havent felt like dealing with yet.

I'm not a big fan of plain ole coilover conversions but they work ok, just couldnt afford the Advance design double adjustables yet.

how much did you get that engine for. and how hard was the install and tuning of it. because i was wanting to do a cosmo swap and a few things i have read make it seem pretty easy.

Ill get some good pics and a vid soon.
The RE i bought Jspec a few years ago and had rebuilt and ported it. Install was not bad, just a lot of little stuff you have to change over.
