thats hideous.


The FD does not have the sharp edges and lines to "wear" two-tone schemes, unless it has a Fortune body kit

Uras Type-GT Front Bumper FD3S RX-7

I got the idea from the red car. I think their bumper pulls it off way better but I wanted to try it out and see what it would look like.

Same URAS GT bumper on a S13 with the center blacked out.

I understand the FD doesn't have sharp corners but I always wondered what it would look like with a racing livery created for a curvier car such as the McLaren: McLaren MP4-12C GT3 in race livery revealed

It'd look better with a plateless bumper (hint hint) and more black accents (wing center section, FEED skirts..ect)

When I get home today I will do a cleaner photoshop, maybe try some other options too like keeping the bottom of the oil cooler ducts white.

I didn't realize it last night but today it was pointed out to me it looks a bit like the Ferrari 458 front.

Dont forget the Abflug GTM front as well (very sharp lines- google image search it) and pointed front, doesnt really follow the 'flowing' effect of the FD body....
