Eh, it's not a bad attempt. I think the lime green one posted awhile back was worse.

How did you find that, I was modeling my car after that. Looks like I have failed so far.

Looks like the towel rack...I mean spoiler was taken from an RX-7....But it looks much better ont he RX-7 - I think it's a bit smaller. The wheels wouldn't be my first choice either...

But I could critique a lot of people's cars - because none of them are my own. Know what I mean?

I was just thinking that. On the Z31, is that scoop functional?

I think that it'd be pretty cool to have a scoop exactly like the Z31 one on an S13, but I also think it'd be cool to have fender mirrors on an S13, so you probably shouldn't listen to me

Well, if it wasn't for the bright orange windshield banner, I would've had no idea who made that car...

Yesh, the Z31 hood scoop is functional, that is if it has a RB20DET in it (only the jdm Z31's ZR models came with that motor) it has a top mount intercooler in that spot. For the VG30ET there's nothing there so I don't know if it is.

I thought it was to cool the turbo on the Z31 VGT. Anyway, about the car...like Axel said, I've seen worse.

I just saw one the other day and there is a heat shield/ducting to direct air down to the tubo area, so it must be functional for something down there...

$50 bucks says that the scoop isn't functional!

It's not THAT bad... it could be a LOT less clean.

too curvy imo...you need an old skyline with flares and rs-8s, then fender mirrors look amazing

I really doubt the scoop functions as well. It still looks nice. I rather like it centered like on FCs but to the side would be good if you're turboed.

That's hotter. Much simpler. I'd like to see fender mirrors on a near stock FD though.

Thanks, that's what I always thought.

JimmyMethod, it has to be a Skyline from the 1970's. To awesome of a design to be in the 1960's...

Quote »FC's vents are NOT centered [/quote]Wow, your right. The only pic I had of one was from the side and low. They're so close and wide I never noticed the offset. Crazy.
