Nice combo. Same thing, Cuda sides, Kore front... And that Versus Rear. Shat. Did they have them for 1st Gen?

Do a custom front end. Take parts/moulds from the kits you like and make your own kit. Ditto with the side skirts/rears.
If you are 100% stuck going with the existing kits. Go with the newstyle/clubGTR kit.
Build up your own "widebody" fenders with some fender flairs and some fiberglass.
Add in some vents from www.teamprototype.com (front and rear).
Then do some magic on the hood. Evo vents, turbo vents, custom vents...whatever your preference is.
Lastly, go with the ATH rear visor spoiler and OEM Shark Spoiler (Promise me you won't go HUGE with the rear wing).
Mould in some R34 Skyline taillights for the rear, and you'll be done!

Spike!
I purchased my MR2 vents from teamprototype.com and had them molded into my 1997 Tiburon.
Here is a pic of what it looks like so you can get some ideas smile.gif smile.gif

Hey 2Uniq, I've always wondered what a hood scoop from a subaru would look like on our tibs (if i actually had one i'd mold it in but i guess you beat me to it!!) What model year is that scoop from? Think you can tell me how much you paid for it to get installed/painted??? It looks awesome!!!!
I'm thinking about trying to do some rear shoulder scoops you can get on the MR2's for my tib (thats what i thought you were talking about until i saw the pics). I think it would look bad @ss! I'm not sure what exact purpose it would serve since our engines are in the front. wink But hey i could think of something!
