Buy a 240, they look fairly close. Or the Civics have body kits.

A 240 with the strawberry look is awesome.

I have always maintained that NISSAN's got the GTR's look from the Mustangs. I saw the new Mustang Coupe in a mag the other day - can't remember what model it was - and yes, it looks almost exactly like a GTR especially from the front and side view. They are almost identical down to the lenght and width!

Gonthrax,

That was funny

The R33 does look a lot like the 94-97 Stangs.

Quoting the wife, " Automatics are for pussies"

You figure out if its a auto or manual.

The Stang has a few problems, the main one is an oil leak around the Vortech. I just have not had an afternoon to sort it out. Maybe this weekend. I am driven a GTR, so I am in no rush

the legend may make a nice conversion, but there's no performance parts for it.

you could use a 5th gen prelude and put the skyline front end on it...

it doesn't look bad... and you can get an r33 bumper cover for the 4gens..

but the 5gen is closer, and i've seen the swap done with the full headlights and everything...
