even if you somehow shoe-horned it on to your fc it would look like *** IMO. the fd has a completly different style than the fc and a franken-7 would not look as good as either. but since you are just dying to have an fd part on your fc, since you seem to believe that EVRYTHING on the fd is better, go for it.................

Just for the record, the nose on my car is not an FD nose, though it does have some design ques from the GTC Mazdaspeed piece for the FD. Also, honestly curious, what do you think of my car?(it's linked above) Thanks, Carl

first off id like to complement you on your caras a whole, one of the nicest and craziest built fc's ive seen. you should be proud of all that time and effort.

however im still not crazy about the fd-esque nose. i just think it goes against all the other lines on the car. if you look at it head on-its bad ***, but in the 3/4 veiw its kinda funny because there is the "belt line" of the bump strips that is carriad all the way around the sides and back bumper and then just drops off on the front. i think it needs less curves and more horizontal lines and creases to realy blend in with the rest of the fc's angular lines. i think the best kit is the one that someone who isnt familiar with the car wouldn't even realize was there. just my .02

but it looks beautifully executed and i love the paint, so its still cool in my book.

I don't know which is worse--the fact that his car could have that effect onyou, or the fact that, apparently, for some reason, a full erection is not possible according to your words.....

agreed, we spent quite a bit of time softening the stock lines of the fender towards the front, and sharpening the line on the nose. Graphics(conservative) should aleviate the visual issues you see. i see them as well. The other car pictured had its nose mounted at a very oddangle, IMHO, it was one of the reasons the nose was not well recieved. The nose sloped down at a very awkward angle. Carl
