What, adding another foot onto the nose?

Look at the wheel well and how far the new fender extends in front of the tire.

The only thing that would make that car more wanna-be is a set of scissor door hinges. If you like the FD, why turn it into something else?

We're not monkeys throwing feacies around here
Oh Wait maybe some of us are

No seriously, the first Porsches kit wasn't as blatant, but this is retarded... I know I had sort of a Marinello thing going on with my scoot hood, but I liked the function / form of that hood... in that order... the N1 came out after the scoot, and if I had unlimited $$ I'd go sell the scoot, and buy the N1.... but so is life....

This Porsche thing is a bit much especially with so many of us bagging on the fact that they're so expensive for the power, that you could buy 2 FD's... and make 1 beat the **** out of the Gt3 and drive the other as a "Daily driver" and you want to imitate this !? Why ???

I think it's just a testament to the lengths people will go to in order to correct the **** poor lighting the FD was cursed with...

I love the lighting on my car, if I upgrade it will be an east bear kit that makes it look decent, put HID lights on it maybe, as for all the other problems, They are worth driving my baby.

Are HIDs available for the East Bear kit? I didn't realize it was an option when I installed mine. Hmm..

IM sorry but all the RE Amemiya kits with the huge headlights are hideous, pure rice machine style. Their race inspired kit,,, i dont like it, but its functional, and doesnt have porsche headlights, so thats ok. If you want a porsche front end, buy a damn porsche. I dont know why all people rant and rave about those front ends, totally kills the seven.

--I guess what im doing in thoery "ruins the seven" but hey, you cant tell when its parked Still looks like a stock bodied sexy seven

that white 7 is very sexy, that wing has to go, but i like it overall. someone said that front bumper is Sexy Style,, who sells those kits? i cant find anything on them, probably high priced tho...

That's definately a one off custom fabricated front. Unless you're talking about the RE-Amemiya round headlight kit which also uses porsche lights (at least i think it does)

Both porshe body kits are gross, ewww. I would never do that to my car. Thete fd looks nice. I dunno if i like the fender flares but if it was me i would have used the vertex front bumper and not put fender flares. All the other cars are gross. p.s. When ever you have a white rear bumper sitting real low close to a big open muffler angled up like that you will carbon
