Nice ride man its funny that u can actually tell ppl, yeah its salvaged. I agree with every1 here put the Kouki tailights on, but that's my opinion.

Those eyelids make the car look like it has eyeshadow on. I'd prefer to have it black but it doesn't look that bad like that.

Looks sweet man. Don't listen to the guys that don't like things because they flip burgers and can't afford to do anything nice to their car. MHO, a car that has every aspect touched, wheels, sus, body, int, etc, is the way it should be.

This is my personal opinion, so don't be offended by it.

The car is nearly the opposite of my tastes (aside from the white, I love white 240s) so I'm going to be a bit blunt and harsh

If you hadn't spent so much money making that car ugly, you'd have your big brakes, turbo, and bucket seats. The only part of the body kit that looks good is the fenders. The hood, bumpers, eyelids, and sideskirts do nothing for the car. They do not flow with the lines of the S14 AT ALL, let alone with each other. I'm not even going to start on the tail lights because it's been beaten to death, but altezza style tails do not belong on nice cars. Personally I'd try smoking them or painting them red.

Once more, this is only my opinion, and should not mean anything to you. I am not asking or telling you to change your style, because if it makes you happy, then it's good enough for me.

AWESOME wheels, though. That I can envy

you know my comments still stand . it does look better with the rest of the kit on, but im not a kit kinda guy. to me it really looks a riced out piece of shlt. again, like ive said before, it just looks like you picked different things you liked from other cars and threw it all onto one car making one hidieous piece of shlt... for real man. i gave props on the paint work as thats the only thing that looks good on it. i just LOL when i saw the pics of the tails. i still am laughing about LOL. i guess ricers will always be ricers.... still ugly bro

Ouch guy!! The car is nice and clean the only unaimous vote to fail has been the tail lights... it's better than either one of our cars as far as cosmetics and such.

Personally, I think the tail lights wouldn't look so bad if the center was painted like so. Excuse the quicky photochop job, I'm not getting paid, and you get the idea...

^ If you did that, then smoked the rest... The light thing would be completely fixed. Nice job bringing it back from the dead, though. Needs Lambo doors! Okay, that was sarcasm, but really, nice job.
