AIT Racing GTR Kit Prototype

[spockrock]

I reserve judgment after its painted, but from what I can tell its not that bad, definitely not as bad as the 350z and g35 GT-R fascias, that were designed off the early/concept GT-R pics where it had the tammie fae mascara.

As far as I can see is all its doing is borrowing the GT-R style grill, which is not bad. I guess the idea of unique is up in the air, a lot of design borrow from others, but yeah I reserve judgment after its painted.

[Goon]

I like it, but it does borrow a lot from the GT-R, which is not a bad thing.

So what would make this more unique is to work with the Altima Coupe's body.

The lights are slanted at an an angle. Maybe if inner stepped body is shaped of an upside down trapezoid, then it would match the slant and look more appealing to the Altima's body. They made it too similar to other AIT kits.

[milkacaduke]

not bad, although some of the angles should be gone. it would look better after paint though, not to mention there's space for some creative painting scheme

On my way to drop my dad off the other day (someone stole his cat) I got to the peak of this hill and was looking at the city, then see this car on the other side of the road (it was dark).

I saw the GTR style bumper and im like why does that look so funny...before I could even finish that thought i noticed it was waaaaaayyyy to puny to be a GTRthen like 1 sec. later realized it was a tc

Actually, If you look at the last white pic, it looks like Tammie fae Baker's running mascara All is missing are the hideous huge eyelashes

Just read this... and nearly peed myself. Maybe Curtis can do eyelashes as well as eyelids?

I'm not sure why people want their car to look like another existing car. Borrowing styling elements is one thing, but the GTR nose is far too radical to basically transpose the entire thing onto Gs or A/Cs. The size and proportion are wrong as are the rest of the body lines. The G and A/C have much subtler lines and the in-yer-face GTR nose is too much. Something unique, that fits the rest of the car well (like the Stillen fascia), is much more aesthetically pleasing. I'd rather see more A/C-centric offerings rather than clone attempts. JMO, of course.

[Nemesi609]

i like it, i also like the stillen, but i'd have to look at both side by side in order to pick one (getting a body kit for graduation, or at least im trying)

[michaelthepsycho]

After that R35 body kit huh?

[Hussain]

no. i already have the stillen front fascia (just need to paint it and do a couple things to it). im just interested to see how this kit will look

lol ya i need to hurry up and put it on.... thing is, my driveway has a horible slant! im affraid ill scrape so i want my dad to fix the driveway first but im starting to think maybe i should just say f*** it and paint it and install it.... heres a couple pics of my bro's mustang he just picked up to show how bad the slant is.

this is the mustang on flat ground in the street

and this is the mustang in my driveway

he goes sideways and still scrapes a little... but i think i might just put my fascia on soon

[sike-o]

one of you nifty photoshoppers need to put a paint job on that altima to see if it would change the look of it

[dangeris]

I don't know but to me it looks like a big grasshopper ready to eat a giant leaf!

one of you nifty photoshoppers need to put a paint job on that altima to see if it would change the look of it

Nice to see that in Red and black

[Cali 2 Balti G]

ugly doesn't even begin to say how I find that kit. the whole Idea of gtr kits for anything else than a gtr is a joke IMO.

I felt that way about the G35 kit and feel the same for the AC. Possible exceptions to the joke would be

As for those who commented on the "mascara" look - all it is - is the painting of the recessed area below the headlights on the G35 kit (not sure if the same recess exists on the AC kit). It is just a matter of preference whether you paint the recess to match body color or to contrast with it. The "mascara" look also takes from the Audi "cheetah face" look.
