Making a skyline more aggressive?

sausage · #1 01-18-2003, 11:37 PM

Any suggestions on how I can pull this off? I've opened a pair of ducts on the bonnet sides, and can leave them as intakes, or turn them into louvered outlet ducts.

The base body is the JGTC Nismo skyline, and the wheel arches have already been raised to almost bonnet level, so adding flared arches will be a bit tough. Anything else I can do?

alter the side skirts to make them more outrageous. Not really much you could do to the front, aside from making a completely new one.

EDIT:

I had a think and this is what I came up with, simply raising the bottom central section of the front bar.

like so

Kind of like making a Great White shark hungrier, isn't it?!!

Haha...guess so. Anyway I saw the veilside skyline and feel that the additions they made tone down the skyline's aggressiveness and make it more graceful instead.

i hate most Veilside kits. they make the car uglier if you ask me. anyways, tazdev you should have circle the change you made or something. it took me 5 minutes to find the difference between the 2 pics!

sorry. It is just a subtle change but in my opinion makes a huge difference

Black it out too, like srlxy's stealth R34 Vspec II.

When you posted this thread I was trying to think where i saw this before, i stumbled across it again today. I think its very cool and certainly agressive. -->

Agh.. made a mistake. I added vents to the front bonnet, and then realized that the chassis was already jgtc-spec lowered, and won't fit anymore with the vents in place. The wheel wells won't fit in that area now. Back to the drawing board.

BTW that skyline is really wild. Where'd he get his inspiration from?
