Right now I'd say it looks okay, but I wonder what it would look like if properly taken care of.

Everytime I see a ricer wing, I think of Sally Field's headwear she wore in the flying nun.

I think its one of those color changing paint jobs. (red to orange). I also thought the owner would do a better job keeping her clean after spending so much.

Yea the passenger sideskirt looks like it's broken. That car isn't very well taken care of unfortunatly.

Nah, it's just taken at night with a flash. If you saw a pic of the car in daylight, I'm sure it would all be one colour. That's what happens with flashes at night - especially on red cars.

I like the sleek headlights, that's about it. I'm getting sick of the S5 tail lights, I'm keeping my S4. Overall, nice job but as stated earlier, it could use a cleaning!

Either cut off or knocked off. And the wing is cracked, floor is dirty, engine bay is dirty. The list goes on. That is an owner that doesnt take pride in his work.

More likely that this is an owner who doesn't take pride in other people's work that he paid for.

The owner has the Japan hookup, so importing this kit wasn't too expensive..

One the Wing, it's the correct RE-Amemiya wing that goes with the kit. So the "RE-Amemiya Rotary God's bodykit" trumps the "ricey wing" school of thought

I think he had JUST dropped the TII engine in, put the bodykit on, and painted it. Work in progress.

I like putting the picture size in the title, that way it's pointless to say "broadband only" or "dialup friendly."

Wait wait, you mean japanese fad trumps ricey wing?

No that doesn't make any sense either.
I've never really been into the Re-amemiya kit. And it definatly looks out of place on a vert. Verts need widebody, that's where they look the best, again, only an opinion.

I couldn't emagine spending all that money on show mods ???? And then not spending that much on go. To me it is false advertisement. First I want the go and then if money permits I will go with SOME show. It's like the other night I saw this white kid looking like a thug in his avenger with fart can and a huge wing, now what would happen if someone came and raced you in anything but a civic? You would get delt with and then you would look really stupid. This isn't quite as bad as it is turbo charged but common what would happen if a babe was looking at your car and descided she would go home with you because your car looked cool (lol, doesn't happen just making a point) then she gets in it and the interior looks like *** and to top it off it has way less go then what was implied with the body kit and huge wing. I don't know just my two cents.

I don't know it just kind of reminds me of a pump up bra or the old socks in the bra bit, it's all good until you go back to the house with her and she deflates her bra
