I was looking through some carsite when i came upon these cars.

Its not what you think!!

So what do you guys think about them??

Grondar · 04-24-2003, 02:42 PM

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.

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

Mook · 04-26-2003, 07:45 AM

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.

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

D )

pezking4 · 04-27-2003, 07:43 AM

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.
