hi everyone
hope your all well

heres the thing once christmas is out the way i want to turn my attention back on the car. this year i have done a lot to the engin and i want to do some work on the outside next year. as it stands the car atleast ot me is nice looking. its got a very clean sleek look but i cant help but think its missing somthing. i want to give it a bit more of a sportyer look but im not sure what to look in to. the body kits is getting blended in some time in jan and i was thinking about a new hood. but after that im stuck.
i wanted to get some ideas from you guys because lets face it as far as the rd tibs go you are the kings. if you get time to look you can see pics of my car here http://forums.hyundaicoupe.info/garage.php...icle&CID=47 and i would value any of your ideas and views very highly.
thanks a lot

steve

i'm actually suprised that the supra wing you have looks really good, didnt think it would to tell you the truth. about the only thing i would change that would be a easy in/out thing is go from those silver taillights to ones with a black body. it definitely changes the back a ton and you can find them on ebay for cheap. make sure you get the ones with only 3 lights cause the 4 light ones look gay imo.

you know ive been playing with that idea for the last 2 years. i also thought of taking the case off the lights and spraying the body part the same colour as the car so they sort of blend in maybe? not sure how that would look. been trying to find some side vents aswel but not having much luck. thought maybe s111 vents and side repeators could look good in place of my clear ones.

Ditch the wing & the tails. Fill in the holes left by the wing & just leave it wingless. Put the stock tails back on & smoke/tint them.

While the shop is moulding the kit, I'd get them to fill in the little indents in the side-skirts. It'd look cleaner, IMHO. Maybe also see if they can flatten-out the curvy section in the rear add-on lip, directly underneath the licence plate.

Change the front bumper to something more aggressive. Sell the current bumper & front lip.

Get a Cadamuro or Invader hood.

I like it. Maybe do some interior work and think about a supercharger or turbo? I think that would sex it up a lot.

wow thats a list and a half, im guessing you dont like my car much lmao.gif

i am right on the verge of going down the turbo road but funds are holding me back slightly at the moment.
i really like the look of those fenders some of you have with the gills on and that sort of stick out from the car. not sure if they are add ons or actual fenders but they look wicked.

man you live in the UK. Performance Coupe has all sorts of goodies i want. they are even develping their own intake manifold. you lip, yeah it needs to be molded. it would be SOOOOO easy b/c thet kit is so flush. not really a fan of the lower red lights? or are they reflectors? i say if its street legal, ditch those. Erebuni had a sale on their OEM CF hoods for crazy cheap, you missed out b/c their all gone now.

hmmm, i would get a RD2 evo front bumper SEXY. i believe there is a red rd2 on their that has/had a rare rd2 widebody EVO front end.

rd 2 evo front end would be wicked but hard to do.

performance coupe dont do a great deal for the rd 2 now. that and its dam expensive over here.
its cheaper for me to buy from the states and ship things over most of the time lol
