Am I the only one that thinks that the purple FC looks like ****?
The front and back look ilke they are from 2 different cars (duh) bu there is no cohesion... the back is angular and sharp, and the font os curvy and bulbous...
Looks like **** IMO. They both look great independantly, but just not together. Like brushing your teeth and drinking OJ.

The orange one is nice, it's sersiously slammed though.

yeah, like dude said earlier, it looks like an fd from the firewall up and a fc from the firewall back. but big up to the people who did it, cuz it is a money-*** job. The camber on the orange one is a tiny bit rough but the body kit is bad with a capital B!

the purple car is cool with the fact that someone is trying something new and it came out good. The only way in my opinion that justifys a killer body kit is a killer motor setup. If you put that purple car with a 150hp na motor then yes its a piece of ****. But if it has a 400hp to back it up then its bad.

oh yeah the moral of the story is don't spend 6k in the body department of the car because you will look stupid getting you *** handed to you at the lights by most cars on the market today

THE KIT IS NOT DISCONTINUED!

from what i've read, just the american distributor sold out, but you can still get it from Japan if you wish

Looks like crap to me as well. All body kits suck.

FC3S to FD3S front end conversion

FC.DS?

I like it, but there are too different styles going on, the rear boxyness of the fc3s and the curvy lines of the FD. The BN Sports kit was a good choice to make the car a little more curvy. I think it would look better with the RE Fd3s hood , sides and front bumper, with some kind of wide rear fenders.
