My thought on this question is: GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!!!

Right now I'm building my widebody, but one day if I own two FD's I'll convert the other to complete '99 spec parts. If you follow other car scenes you'll notice that there are 2 types of people that buy used cars.

1. Completely tricked out absolutely every aspect of the car modded....
2. Completely Authentic: Parts only from dealer, original paint, all vins matching, and so on.....

So you decided what type of car you'd want to buy.... and go from there.


Widebody:



'99 Spec

Im not really in to body kits but In this case I would go with the wide body. Everyhing would depend on what bodykit and how well the work is done!!

I prefer the stock lines with slight body accents the best. Like subtle sidekirts as in FEED, Apexi, or 99's.

IMO full on body kit FD's look best in pics/ shows/ track. I've yet to truly see one in the street that blows me away as they always look odd to me.

With wide body there is no going back... most of them require pop riveting rear flairs on so you have plenty of holes to deal with if you ever wanna take it off. One guy on here has steal burnout flairs that you can weld on.

Or if you have the money:

Feast your eyes on that boys...
