Remove wing and get different front bumper.

everyone will ahve their own opinion... some will say yes and some no. It is up to you though. If everything about this car suits your wants and perhaps needs then I say go for it. If you don't like it then.. well.. no lol
IMO.. I think it is pretty sweet

The front bumper/headlights greatly increase the radar cross-section.
Remove them so that you may drive faster with less punishment.

Oh, and that wing is nice for hanging your laundry on, but not much else.

Anyone know what brand side skirts and fender flares are on it? That's exactly what I'm looking for to tuck my 295's.

Why the hell would you base your decision on buying a car based on someone's else's opinion?! It'd be different if you were asking if the car was mechanically sound and wanted opinions on potential problems, but it seems as you are more concerned with the looks. If you like it, you like it - who cares what other people think.

I knew the first pic reminded me of something And since it reminded me of sunfire, I'd say it's not hot. Nothing you couldn't change, but as is, ugly.

That is horrible.... if the front end is replaced with OEM or 99+ OEM than it would be a lot better. I prefere the 'no wing' look as well, so that'd have to go.

Well it definitely has a unique Japanese look to it, very over-the-top. Whether that's what you want to drive is up to you.

I would be mostly concerned with how well it drives. From what I hear, the laws in Japan cause most people to deport or destroy their cars after ~30,000 miles, and most people there don't maintain them very well either. If you're unlucky, you'll be buying a motor that's about ready to pop.

That's a R-Magic front end conversion?I had never seen it but i dont like it and i usually like R-Magic kits.The side skirts and rear flares are part of the RE-Amemiya n1 kit.

Except for the front end i like the car and i have always liked that knightsports wing.
