One of the weirdest FD rear "conversions" I have ever seen
#26
If I had the choice of a normal FD and this I would choose the normal FD even if the conversion was all factory and metal.
On the other hand, if this conversion is what FDs looked like all along I would still love it more than any other car out there. I think it looks OK and would like to see more pics from different angles if there are any.

not a hater...
I would like to see this car from several angles. I'm withholding my opinion until this is possible. However, that being said it certainly is different with a very italian retro feel (AC Aceca style) and might look very good. It also looks very well executed. I personally like this better than the abominations of Scoot hoods, Re Amemiya body kits, and giant wings.

with the right frontend it may be manageable, not gonna hate on it tho it's original, done properly from what we can see. Main thing that bothers me is where the taillights came from....remind me of something and i cant figure it out.

Did a little more research. Here is a link to the conversion, looks like it is about $25,000 for the front and rear. That is not a typo. http://ohno-car-craft.com/naomi2n/jp.html

It looks like they got all the fugliness of the aston into the front end, and fusterclucked it with a Ferrari 599gtb.
Am i saying that i wouldn't be proud to drive one? hell no... But if i had 25k it wouldn't go towards that, that's for damn sure!!

I like it in a unique kinda way. It also reminds me of the v8 ferrari 2+2 that came out a few years back, the rear like an aston martin. One thing I like about FD's is that a lot of people don't know what they are, with that kit no one would know what the F it is.
The red daytona is definitely a bad ****

rear end screams TVR to me.
To be honest I think it is a very tasteful and well done modification. I would much rather see someone do this conversion than put a p.o.s. veilside kit on it.
I will gladly keep my FD the way it is though.
