I know no one likes the carcept front end, but I do. I am just going to shave the sides flat and re fiberglass them. I like the way it swoops down low like a corvette. I am also ordering these rims from the same company. Unfortunately I got to go overseas .Its 1700 shipped from the uk.

I like your front the way it is, hence the pics of my car in profile. I do think that front end would look better with the sides shaved definately.

I actually like those rims for your car.

Why dont you consider the widebody of the kit instead of shaving it down. I think it would be hot to see you car go wide.

A couple of years ago, I paid some kit car builder to make a plug of the scoop of the kit car K1 Attack. the problem with making the rear end wider(celica) is that you got to completely cut out the rear inner and outer fender to space the wheels out. Major surgery, and then you have to brace it good to keep the integrity. Too much down time for me, but its done alot by the Rx7 guys when they put an anyemia kit on. I only have one car at the time, so I can't afford the down time. thats the only thing keeping me from a motor swap or
turboing it also.

Those wheels like like they would only belong on a pimped out and lifted truck, or on some exotic (lamborghini). I like the front bumper though. When are you going through with all this?

Yea it should remind you of that other kit, they pretty much look the exact same.... that car reminds me of like a Sunfire...just the way the front end is shaped.
