Ok so who knows the story of this FD?



This is an old school pic that I saw about 10 years ago, which I just happened to come across it again. In seeing it again it made me wonder about this car. The car has authentic RE amemiya front bumper, sides, mirrors, tail, and sleeks lights. Silver star rims? But that hood I've never seen it before nor seen it since. Custom made? Old school RE amemiya proto?

So anyone know the story of that car?

P.S. Yes I know it's ugly, so please save your comment about that and how you believe that the owner should be shot, maimed, burned, stoned, and staked. This thread isn't about that. I'm just curious of the origins of the car.

I'd say an original RE Amemiya prototype would be a good guess, but it'd just be a guess. They always seem to do outlandish looks with the FD's and that definitely fits the bill.

Photoshopped hood, rims look like the old OZ Mito Modular wheels, but are also probably photoshoped. Used to have that image as my wallpaper.

The wheel style is real, the wheel lip is fake.
