Call me crazy but that doesn't say GT-R to me at all. Sure the entire grill area is somewhat similarly shaped, but that's where the similarity ends IMO.
I think the rear resembles the RMR Genesis Coupe more than anything. For that reason alone it's cool, but I'm not a huge fan.
I like the RM460 front bumper better than any other I've seen, this one getting second place.

Of course it's not as nice or fast as a GTR, but it's also 1/4 the price.
Also, it's hard to see the fenders in the pictures, but they also appear to be similar to the GT-R.

the GT-R grill is one of the most uniquely identifiable aspects of the GTR's appearance, IMO. To have such a similar grill on this kit, I can't help but think GTR.
or maybe Evo X?
Thanks for the new pics. Rear bumper still isn't my favorite, and I wouldn't spend the money on it.

yeah now come to think of it i see this as well. there has to be influence, it's a marketing thing. it's what's "in" as they say. we went from grill-less to storm trooper in a decade.

^you got it man
i'm pretty sure that it's just what's cool. None of these cars look the same, they just have very similar styling cues because that's what people like. end of story, i like the kit. i'm not going to research new kits or anything for the gen coupe since i don't have one but if this was one of my choices i'd be glad it was.
