So what do you guys think about them??

They look nice, regardless of whether they are authentic or not.

If they aren't authentic, what is the original car that was "kitted"?

Mook 04-24-2003 04:18 PM

Honda Civic or a Mitsu ecliplse is the blue. This thing has had more plastic surgery than Pamela. Skyline tails and front end.

Acura Integra is the red. 1997-98 240sx front end, skyline tails, and a widebody kit to fit the skyline front pumper. That wide kit looks like ass, cause he didn't get the wide rims to go with it. Or not enough spacers.

0001 04-24-2003 04:24 PM

Blegh. Shoulds spent the money on a real one.

unknownmf 04-24-2003 04:37 PM

the blue car is a 2 door Honda Accord. Last years model (01)

sixate 04-24-2003 04:50 PM

I think they're fugly. Don't immatate a car you can't get. Just makes you look dumb.

BoCo 04-24-2003 05:45 PM

The second car is totally gross, but the first one is alright. I'd just go with a color other than baby blue. :rolleyes:

frankyfish 04-24-2003 10:09 PM

I love the widebody fenders without having the wheels to fill the wheel well. Also, if you're gonna spend money to ~try~ to make a car look good, you might as well spend money to get a car that goes good too, otherwise you're just full of it.

acpower 04-25-2003 12:27 AM

at first conversions like that were artists' creations but now it's like not unique anymore... but it does look sorta good.. the integra at least.. the blue accord owner has to paint those taillights.. that's so ugly

Ambition 04-25-2003 06:54 AM

Nope, sorry can't say I like either.....

SweetVroom 04-25-2003 12:55 PM

i dont like it, nor do i approve of it, but i do applaud the time and work that went into making something like that and not ugly ricer crap like pasting type R everywhere and such.

MSD 04-25-2003 09:59 PM

That money could have been better spent.

username 04-25-2003 10:26 PM

man, for the price it costs to fix those up you could buy a car that would perform like it looks.

AsianRage 04-25-2003 11:41 PM

damn, that's some ugly conversions. But I think you just happened to pick some of the worse one.

deepinjello 04-25-2003 11:56 PM

The idea good, the execution not so good.
REAL skylines are so much better.

Anyone care to post some nice pics of them for the uninformed among us?

bahula04 04-26-2003 12:19 AM

one word: goofy. there's an accord v-6 roaming the west coast that has a "proper" skyline setup, and could probably fool most people into thinking it was one, except its left hand drive.

Mook 04-26-2003 07:38 AM

Some skyline photos

There is a nice wallpaper from Import Tuner too.

Mook 04-26-2003 02:49 PM

unknownmf, I didn't know you posted on Zilvia too. :D

DerBlitzkrieger 04-26-2003 04:47 PM

those look almost as bad as the pictures ive seen of the honda accord with a corvette ass end put on it. horrible!

pezking4 04-26-2003 07:42 PM

The Mustang guys who like to badge their cars as GT-R are funny too

fugue_life 04-26-2003 10:53 PM

if anyone is looking for a "real" skyline in the US, its called the infiniti g35, or at least its based off of the skylines platform and is as close to a real car like the skyline that we will get int he US. Thank god for the STI and Evo!!!!

pezking4 04-27-2003 12:08 AM

The skyline is coming, don't worry

Zeld2.0 04-27-2003 12:57 AM

yea skyline coming but gonna still be a bit ;/

i usually don't care about cars that much but i hate ripoff / wannabes - i mean yea it might make the car look better but seriously all that money coulda gotten you a better car...

ill just keep my new g35 tho :)

3x0 04-27-2003 06:38 AM

pics not working :/

Anyway modding car this way is silly nothing more... (esp. this gtr on mustang :DD )

pezking4 04-27-2003 07:43 AM

actually i understand nissan would like to compete with the porsche gt2, so we can expect AWD and 400hp hopefully

Apparition.

I saw a mustang with a GTR badge this week. UGH!!

Baricua2782 04-29-2003 10:51 AM

cars suck, but i'm loving that blue

TransAm-LT1 04-29-2003 02:35 PM

They might resemble Skylines, but the all wheel drive R34's TwinTurbos will trounce any other import on the road. An awsome race would be a Supra, R34, 3000 Gt Vr-4 and a TransAm for a little domestic flair to that import line up, but im a tad partial to the Pontiac's.

mazdarx 04-29-2003 04:42 PM

They both look ugly

Plummie 04-29-2003 06:08 PM

Agreed. Plus a true Skyline would whoop both their asses on the street.
