All Ive ever had was s***ty night shots. So I took the time today and got some point and shoots. Car is still a work in progress. I have wheels, but No five lug, it still needs rear overfenders, and valences...but other then that, its come a long way, but still very far to go.

BTW, the orange stuff on the bumper and s*** is filling putty for small cracks and stuff. Just havent had the time to sand them down and prime em.

Lemme know your guys thoughts...

Looks ugly IMO, lose the front bumper and skirts. Get wheels asap. Work on fitment. Lose the gay a** haters sticker on the side as well. Other than that, not bad.

Umm I guess you plan to do some body work? You need to shim those fenders, get some girll and markers.

well instead of flaming you like everyone else ill be honest and put it nicely. first the front bumper is really not working out. maybe you could pull it off with some tight rims though. and speaking of rims at least paint the rears black too. it would look alot better. you have a good start. but like you said you have a long way to go. and i would work on getting everything lined up better. i know some people like the hood popped like that for cooling. but seriously id get rid of that. just makes everything look sloppy.

To each there own I guess...

Forgot the grill was even on the car. Sat it there when it was parked, moved it over to the grass, totally forgot about it. Im shimming the fenders sometime this week.

These are the wheels that I have...



And this is the pwerplant currently in the garage...

Lots of fitment issues. I am not feeling the bumper, but its your car. And yes, the shimmed/vented hood is not helping you out at all.

I laughed my a** off when I read all the comments because I knew what everyone was going to say.

Why do people park on the grass? I got so tired of people driving into my lawn and parking halfway on the grass I put a line of 2 inch nails on the front perimeter.

My thoughts exactly. The horrible fender gap, funky offset hood, and cheapo bumper/skirts ruin the car.

IMO sell the uggo bumper and skirts. use that money to buy a 5 lug setup and put those wheels on. then it would actually look pretty decend.

but i was never a fan of the skyline-esque bumpers so my opinion may be biased..

Not much good going on in the initial pics, but based on the motor/wheel selection, there may be light at the end of the tunnel. Just heed ppl's suggestions. They ain't lying about that fitment...

But I have a confession to make... I like R33 style bumpers on Zenki's...

Im actually suprised Im just now getting *%&**%&**%&**%&* about the hood. Its been like that at the past few meets and in all my photos... Its only actually noticeable now becasue the front end is primed aswell..

I just wud like everyone to look past what it looks like now. Add my wheels, rear fenders and valences, and black paint, and see what it can look like, and I think your opinions will slightly change.

The skirts look too busy wit hthe fender scoop. Change to some smoother ones(without the upkick on the froont). Front might look better with just that change. Hows the interior?

Interior is mint, untouched.

The car doesnt have wheels or paint, of course it looks like s***, but not as much as you guys are making out to be.

If you could see it in person I think your opinions wud change.
