Its a shame to put all of that time and effort into a car and not go the extra mile with the tire/wheel treatment. Where are the wide whites and spinners? It may be spitefull but the low-riding Mercedes in the background helps me accept the fact that there are people who would actually do that to a Q.

Oh man... LOL

That thing is just plain ugly...

That kit (if that's what it is) looks like it probably adds about 150 lbs to the weight of the car.

I am thinking more like 150 lbs. per fender.

Do like the signaling mirrors.

It's an early Q, with a (better) add on grille, but horrible hood ... thing?? Then a snow plow on the front and a Testarossa-look body kit.

I do like the head lights, side mirrors and the grille, as I don't care for the grille-less look.

There is alot wrong with that car, pictures are too small to say what's wrong with the interior .

Yes, I'm being a hater .

Pics don't let you see "real up close", and I dont' care for the style at all, but the craftsmanship to do that to the silver one is impressive nonetheless.

figure... these cars have been modified for so long in japan, that there are those guys who want to do something crazy like on the red Q... and since it's such a change from what they're used to seeing, it ends up getting quite a bit of attention. Unlike in the US, where people also do go crazy gaudy with their cars, in Japan the craftsmanship and attention to detail is still superior... sure the flares and kits and light conversions may not suit lots of people's tastes, but you can't argue with how well they make everything fit like perfect.... over here, you tend to see sloppy work with huge gaps and sagging parts... so it doesn't just have poor taste, but poor construction, too

I agree, as I said above, the craftsmanship and work necessary to do the body mods above is impressive whether you agree with the idea, goal or look, you have to see the craftesmanship put into it.

I'll take Pontiac's cheap plastic cladding. At least its easily removed.
