I said it was nice because it looked well done. The interior could use some help and some of the body is weird but at least his bumbers are on good and his hood scoop isn't crooked.

Allright, another anti-rice sentiment here...I HATE bright colors in the interior, the exterior...well the blue is halfway decent but I would have gone darker with it...as for the rims, ouch...dig out some black spray paint and go to work on those bad boys...it'll look better than that. The wing...well, it'd be kinda ok if you had the engine to back it up, but really, how often will that car see >100mph? Do you need any downforce? probably not. As for the hood...get a nice WS6 Firebird. Now, I will say that the bodywork and paint job are pretty darn good, but man, if your going to have such an agressive/radically styled car, make sure you have some serious power to back it up. I guess the show look just isnt my thing, I would much prefer a fast car that looked allright to a slow car that looked like a "show" car (aka: rice). Also, at my high school that car would not have gotten the girls, maybe 5% of the people would have really liked it, everyone else would have lumped it with the honda gang we had...yeah...they actually thought they were a real gang, it was pathetic. Of course, 4 or 5 of them totalled their cars, which pleased me greatly, stupid APCmobiles. Oh, and on a final note...nonfunctionaly hood scoops arent worth ****, they create more aerodynamic drag and do nothing for performance, at the very least cut out some of the hood underneath those. Sorry to rant so much, but if I see one more riced out car, I'm going to hurl.

It is nice when people say nice car even without knowing what you have on you motor. Whe are not always on the track you know! You could have all scooped up motor but your exterior is pure stock, no one would turn thier head and say wow that's a nice car. Even if you drive with your hood off the car to show off your scooped up motor, more people would say there is something wrong with that car rather than admiring it. Ricer or no ricer it still looks good... I pretty much sure you'll do some upgrade on your motor. By then you will have a fast and nice looking rideGood Job


Yeah, the ricer count is definitely going up. You, RS91, are the perfect example of the typical ricer attitude "I'll just make it LOOK fast and people will turn their heads." I'd rather blow by them and make them turn their head.

Oh, there's a second "dummy" cat on 240's? I learn something new every day!

They are not always dummy cats. Most of the time they are though.

All US s14 cars have a dummy cat just about under the driver's seat. The s13 and Canadian s14s have an actual cat in that location.

Well, it certainly isn't my idea of the "perfect" body job. I pretty much like how mine looks stock, but some people just like something a bit more... loud. And if loud was what he was going for, he did a supurb job. It's a very nice blue and the inside even matches. I agree with Skydragoness though, it definitely wouldn't make me want to climb into bed with him. It kinda gives the "all talk" impression, and that isn't exactly what I look for in men. ...ehhehehehehe

As long as your happy with it, then there you go. I admire all the hard work you put into it but it is a little much for my taste as well. Not diggin the hood, some nicer rims are definately needed. I dont know why so many people here hate chrome. I think chrome looks so clean, I like how light just kicks off of them so nicely. Good luck with the rest of your car and just do what you like.

Dude... that's exactly the attitude you should have. Don't take it personally. If it is how you like the car... then it is EXACTLY how you should keep it.

Your friend does awesome body work... and I wish I had such a good connection!

Nice paint job. But honestly it's a bit much for me. Get rid of the hoodscoop, put some larger tires to fill up the wheel wells and then the car looks even better. Otherwise, it's pretty ricey to me.

If you are gonna put money in your car at least get some quality products!

I would not put that kit on my car.. *but* it is an awesome color IMO, and all of the body work looks very clean and well done.

I dont blame you for posting pictures either.. If i had the body kit i wanted on and painted i'd post pictures too.. same reason people post engine pictures, time slips, mod lists and track times.. cuz they are proud of it.

Like the ground effects, certainly can do without the hood and the horrible wing! The paint is nice....nothing better than blue! Rims......uggh like everyone else said....CHANGE THEM! Anyway, it's your car, do you what you like.

It's tight in my opinion, and the reason for it is . . like you even said .. it's your car. Your the one who's gonna be sitting in the drivers seat and your the one who's gonna be ****ting bricks when you crash it . .so props

I'm not to keen on the hood or the wing, but I like the paint. DEFINITELY change the crome wheels. How about you back up those ginormous hood scoops with an SR20, or better yet an RB?
