Intersting styling on this FD

I am undecided if I like it or not but it is different!

I came across this a while ago...definitely interesting and different. I'd think it'd be a love it or hate it thing. I love it...yet i'd never own one like it...lol. I just think that even though i like it a lot...It takes away too much from the original FD shape. So pretty much the same reason I like the Veilside Fortune Model FD, but would never put that kit on if I owned an FD.

i really like the front bumper...minus the frog eyes, dont they have that bumper to fit standard FD headlights?

as far as the rear bumper goes, im not too crazy about it. pretty much my favorite design feature about the FD are the rear tail lights and this conversion completely does away with it.

In it's own right it's a nice car, but the only way to tell it's an FD by looking is the shape of the doors. I think if you want to change the look of a car, stick with one end or another unless it's a show only car. Leave a little of the soul of the original in place, especially with the FD. The FD is in my opinion one of the sexiest cars out there and needs very little tampering to look any better. A+ for craftmanship, C for using the wrong canvas.

RE-A is known for that kind of styling. Im on the fence on weither I like it or not, but I think I'd drive it. Theres a chap here with an RE-A built FC. Its got the 928 style lights that stand up out of the hood. Its very different.

I like it! I would want to change some things about it though if I owned it, for instance the side-skirts, and rear tails, but have always liked the different styles RE-Amemiya has developed over the years.

I like it more in this style:

No fence for me - it's awful! Nice job making one of the best looking cars of the last 20 years look like a 2002 WRX.

Don't mind these as much - but like the blue with the non-frog eye/Porsche lights better.

i think the sleek look of the original style looks better. why would they put porsche lights an a rx7? fortune and feed front restylings look much better.

This is all very subjective, to each his own. But I agree the Feed restyle is killer! Most hate the lights but I really like them!
