man the skylines are some fat ugly cars compared to just about anythingIMO. Flame on bandwagoneers..
get your car away from it before some of the ugly crosses over to yours
sorry but they are just too shoeboxy for me.
Your car looks very nice though. way better than that blob next to it....Am i being to rough on the poor thing? sorry

I like the old one better. I still can't get over that license plate holder on the 99's spec Rx-7's. Its funny to me that people bash all of the crazy bodykits that people put on their cars one sec and then love the 99 spec the next. It completely ruins the lines of the car imho.

^^ Ditto that 100% Just about any front flows better. But hey that is J-spec man. So it has to be cool. ( still looks better than the R33 though
)
It's alright but i would grab one without the plate,HOWEVER i believe he has front plate requirments so this is a easier way to have the best of both worlds. Drilling holes in a expensive front bumper tends to make most cringe. I know it did to me. now i am moving to a state that does not require them. Go figure!

that's ****** sick, is your hood just CC'd carbon, or did you paint it black? and is that a v-mount i see? those look like Gram Lite type 57's, or are my eyes decieving me? anyway, droolin over that sick ride, rather have your car than the skyline, the nissan may be *****-*** fast off the line and be able to make stupid amounts of power, but they are pigs.
