I was just thinking to myself the other day how we hadn't had a purple-car questions for a long time! How refreshing!

That sucks if its custom. I wonder how i could contact the guy that built it and see if he and or the shop still has the molds. I dont mind the color it reminds me of the midnight purple skyline r33's. But it would look amazing in a bright red.

Why don't you just get a Celica and put a rotor in it

Obviously you don't like the way 1st gens look. Have you looked at 2nd gens?
They're kind of shaped like that and they come that way.

Yeah i do like the 300zx and the 944. But the first gen is just a really cool simple car. I like its body lines but i dont like the lift the front end makes at higher speeds. I liked that car because it was different than the usual front bumper that you see in black dragon. But ill probably end up going with that.

It made me think of a 959 with fog lamps and big turn signals. Lol, maybe it's the integrated rear wing...

Im not saying it looks ricy but alot of the body kits i have seen look that any body kit can look ricy if its not installed properly. I like the imsa widebody but its really expensive. I would think the body kit i posted would be at most 1000. And the first picture is exactly what im going to probably end up going with that airdam looks good and is functional. It also looks great with that wing i wish i could have bought the carbon fiber lip wing that was on ebay awhile back.

I see. My first pic the front end is not made anymore. The closest thing is the mariah SCCA IT legal one.

Just about ever panel on the car is different. if it were available for purchase, which it isn't, it'd come with a lot of different pieces and cost a lot more than a grand. have you thought about finding similar parts and making them fit to your car?
