I apologize if i offend anyone, but that just looks like shit. Doesn't suit the car at all.

I think in that grey yes it looks very ordinary, but with some blue fog lights and a decent paint job on the car it could look really nice. It also needs to be lowered so that the sides arent so much higher than the front wing, rear wing and spoiler and finally different wheels to make that look work

i'm impressed that someone has actually done something different.. i mean, there isnt much originality within the u12 community. but yeah, i'd have to agree that its too bulky, it comes too far forward.

WHos car is that anyways?

If it had a good paint job it could look alright... a lot of work has gone into that!!!

But yeh, too bulky...

It's a stanza right?
Lisa: Dad, we did something very bad! Homer: Did you wreck the car? Bart: No. Homer: Did you raise the dead? Lisa: Yes. Homer: But the car's okay? Bart & Lisa: Uh-huh. Homer: All right then.

although some people would like to disagree with me, the stanza is rated exactly the same as the pintara. they only come in the 2.4litre variety though.

the might actually have marginally lower performance due to the fact that in america fuel is of a lower octane level (their premium is 93 octane, ours in 98)

I don`t mind it  :approve:
Only thing is though it doesn`t suit THAT car as i believe that a bodykit has to be built in proportion to each other bit
Now if someone was to make some nice sideskirts and a matching rear bar to suit the front and maybe a wing to boot then this would be a formidable package on a car with a REALLY nice paint job and BIG wheels (round 18" would suffice)
I give the owner 10 points for trying to be different than everyone else and this my friends is how trends start  8)
What is the point of a signature, who REALLY reads it??

i think it would look 100 times better if the bar wasnt sticking so far out the front. if the guy sliced a little bit of it off so that it sat a little further back, i think you'd all want to do it.

i replied to the guy on teamnse telling him he's done a great job for doing something original. but yeah. it just probably should of been done slightly different.

That and in my opinion smooth over the 2 rectangular ducts in centre of bar
Either mount spotties on each side or use provision for even more brake ducting, the little ones below would suffice for any street use anyway
Of course - use the middle one for front mount cooler  8)

blakey in springwood brisbane, a place called tokyo toys (look for their web address) sells skyline kits. the r34 gtr front bar goes for i think $700 unpainted. so this bar maybe slightly less as it isnt the gtr variety.

It looks a bit bulky in the state it's in right now, but I'm sure there's a few things (a lot of suggestions already made here) that would make that look really nice.
