Am I the only one that dislike this ? Sure, the design is cool, but the finish and details is just awfull : (
-The blocks is all wrong and doesnt fit, its for the Eu mod. -Frontbumper doesnt fit -rearbumper doesnt fit -headlights is miss placed -hood doesn`t fit, too high in front middle -licence plate part doesnt fit And all those lights you have put on your frontbumper. . . shame, its a car! Not a disco room. Remember, less is more! The car will look great in a distance, but when you come up close, all you want is cry. people with respect for details anyways. Really wish you had put a few more weeks work in the car and done it right, then this would have been a really amazing car! This post has been edited by Bakkmagedon: Feb 12, 2010 - 12:52 PM |

Really wish you had put a few more weeks work in the car and done it right, then this would have been a really amazing car! agree with you mostly, i had to rush the kit last year to try and get it done in time for a meet (well didn't have to i guess but you know how it is) and have been kicking myself about it, but have no fear its all about to change, have bought a lot of new stuff and starting tomorrow i'm about to start a complete body over haul. but i disagree about a few things you say, first i love my raiser blocks and when i finish making then sit flush i'll be happy so they are staying, and secondly i am keeping the foglights in the front splitter, i just love the way it looks. but i appreciate you opinion and ask you to keep looking cos big things are about to happen! -------------------- You're here for a good time, not a long time. - Colin McRae When in doubt...

The main problem is the fiting of the styling kit, so you make me really happy when you say you gonna change it! : ) so I wont nag about the lights and other stuff. Everyone cant have the same taste you know : ) I know how it is, and gladly my styling kit didnt arrived before all meetings were done x) so then i had really good time to make the kit fit, and im glad it went that way.
Im looking forward too see how you car turns out ^^ Good luck and have fun! |

I think the poor fitment has a lot to do with when you crashed/ got hit. I think that tweaked the body enough to screw up your headlight, then coupled with a poor fitting eBay body kit it just adds to the poor fitment.
I like the direction you went with this, but I would invest in a real veilside kit if that's what you want. Its the small details that really count. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

It's totally not my taste at all, but I have to give you tons of credit for not being afraid to put yourself out there and just go balls to the wall and do what YOU wanted, and be original in the process. It sounds like it's been a great learning experience for you and now you're about ready to start applying that experience to a new setup. Good for you!
I HATE that front bumper (again, just a matter of personal taste) but I think that LED fog thing is pretty cool and it TOTALLY works with that bumper! -------------------- |

[/quote] I studied the pics and saw it was the rear bumber who make it look that way, so its nothing wrong with the lic plate fitting |
