Dude, the rear of your car looks like a giant fish. If you stuck some fins on the side i would swear it was a grouper.
What kind of gauges are those? Electro-luminescent or something? They look blindingly bright, or is that because of the camera?

very nice ride man. definately get some pics up when you get it painted. one thing i'd do would be to put in a grill, or even better intercooler into the front. the rusty looking inside isnt the best of a turn on.

yah, that would be real cool, lets stick an intercooler in there without a turbo :thumbsdow :rolleyes: Anyhow...I'm not feeling the rear either. I don't like the bodykits that are all curvy and flared out with gigantic holes everywhere. I do actually like the R33 front though usually ain't my cup of tea, but it looks good. I like them better without those rectanges up at the top though. Is the kit made from fiberglass? It would so much better with those holes shaved. Shaving the door handles seem to have worked out nicely. When is this going to get paint? BTW: I think the M-05's looked better than the Passion 5's IMO.

I'd scrap the rear bumper and "De-Shave" your trunk.

Other than that, i'd say once you get it painted, it'd look pretty good.

car looks pretty tight minus the rear bumper. too much going on in the rear. but it'll look good once painted...

what color paint?..i could see that kit looking pretty tight with champion white paint for the whole ride (it'd be sort of extreme, with the rims), black would look great too...

agree with GS that you should shave the upper rectangles on that front bumper and fill in the other holes with a grill/mesh(metal or painted), there aleady is mesh in the rear bumper right?, so you could tie in that look by matching it up in front...or throw some foglights in some of those holes...

i think the rear bumper is only odd looking now with the primer on it, when there's one color on the whole car, it's not gonna look so big and round...

what color is she gonna be? and post picts after the paint

schecter...agree that you gotta stand your ground around here...you just have to pick one spot to stand at first...

Im thinking about a nice pearl black with a nice high gloss finnish....im looking into a set of JDM r33 foglights (just cant find any) to go in the middle holes and some PIAA's to go in the top where u talked about shaving......i had mesh in there but took it out while i was workin on the bumper one day and just never got back to putting it in....i chose that back bumper cuz i wanted to shave the trunk and only found like 2 bumpers that had a spot for the bumper...i guess i just tok the easy way out insted of doin somthing more custom....but i just got back today from a guy about a show quality paint job...plus fixing a lot of minor dings and imperfections....along with doing the job right....he said it would be 1,200 just straight painted and 2,300 after some body work to get everything looking smooth.....what do u guys think? the price about right or whats up....i think for the job to be done right the first time 2,000 sounds about right

oh by the way...i guess i just got tired of the mo5's didnt like the way they looked after a while..plus when it was time to get tires again they were dented to shit so i just wanted a new look...and i like the way the passions look...i think they will hold up better also

The side shot looks like an old Z24.

I don't care for the kit, but I'm the kind of person that thinks less is more.

I'd like to see it after painting though, maybe I'd change my mind

I'll be totally honest. I don't like it. The front is tolerable but the back is just flat out ugly. I think once it gets painted, you'll have a "nice" car, but it just doesn't fit my tastes. A turbo would definitely improve the car in my book. Good luck with gettin her painted!

agree the back gots to go and front need the intercooler - high gloss black good color - new tails also - deffinitly feeling the shaved door

De-shave the trunk? :eek7:

I'm sure he shaved it in the first place because he LIKES it.


Car looks good man, not a fan of the rear bumper, but I like the rest. The shaved look is tight, good work. :)
