Looks like a fat teenager shoved into clothes he wore in 5th grade.

It's comical, i love it. :bellyroll:

I like it! but still looks like a baby next to that GTR.

To be completely honest, it looks a little bloated. Good job on the fit and everything...it looks really well made and well fitted, but it just looks a bit off from a design standpoint.

Any kit can be molded in. It's just impractical. Would be much better if it was only molded into the fenders and quarters so that the bumpers can still be removed.

Yeah fronts need to be worked on, looks like the BRZ GT300 from the front -.-

Cover the entire rear fender well. Throw just a bit more convex to the lines near the top and it works.

This is their development car so it's just moulded while they finish their lines.

That's the problem. The person I quoted made a comment about it looking better than the riveted on options previously shown (varias, rocktbunny ect...)

Widebody kits (on the quarter panel) have 2 options. Mechanical fastening via screws or rivets or 2-part epoxy panel bonding adhesive (like Speed Grip, Lord Fuzor SMC to Metal.) The rivets look easily can look tacky on anything outside of a full time attack car. And if you glue it on you will likely be doing bodywork due to the nature of the epoxy (you have to grind the paint off and coat the raw metal with adhesive) so your pretty much going to be molding it in with that option. Otherwise you end up with a "lund stick on hood-scoop" effect. :iono:
