Looks much better!
Oh wow huge difference, makes the ra60 lights not too bad
I know right......that bumper looked like a blunt spear head!.....pointy but blunt with no real shape about it,and with those lights....it was a face a mother had trouble loving!
I have to admit tho,after comparing the 2 up close and personal...the flowing lines across the front of the ra65's,clear smoke indicators....they do look good don't they,lol.
I wouldn't mind seeing if the 65 lights and indicators will fit in with the 60 bonnet and grill......if it does,and those lines work in with my grill...I'll probably get some,just a matter of finding a set to try on,lol
anyway....since it crack head hours on Christmas day I really should piss off to bed soon......just wrapped presents for the kids,sat down for a beverage and they got up and informed me that Santa's been here while I was in another room....the sneaky bastard!
So now im up telling them to go back to bed every 10 mins....and its getting old fast!
I'll leave ya's with a few pics of the primed bar I done today......well,yesterday...lol
I'll get some proper paint mixed after Christmas,but that's a lot more bearable now!
before I go....can I get you guys opinions on a set of Impul Hoshino's on this???
I wanted to find some cool ugly rims to compliment the cool ugliness of the coupe......and I like the way the hoshino's are similar in design to the stock wheels....thoughts???

Nah they dont. RA65 lights are wider from memory and the little eyelids on the 60 bonnet wont fit them. Need an RA65 bonnet unless you pull a massive dodgy and hack it up.
My thoughts exactly. Straight lines. Its a bit of an avante garde looking chassis, needs some slightly kooky wheels to set it off.
I went with the white lineas as a rally throwback since my car is white anyhow, but your car would look amazing with Hoshinos or maybe some Enkei Apache or some equip 01/02.
Could also see some feroche if you can find a good size, or classic ssr mk 2s. I think the 4 spoke and slightly unusual style is definitely something that works on this body.
G5s will look good
Painted the bar today
Then I started playing around with a can of nite shades and a length of rubber flaring I found.....
gave the sides a trim
I need to tidy up those screws but I think it came up alright.....I think a pair of rectangle fog lights would look good in there too.
also I'm looking at getting an under spoiler and boot wing over from Japan in the next few weeks,or months depending on how quick I can put the funds together and how cheap I can buy them for....pretty much the same parts this soarer is sporting.
rims can wait till I find the right set....the offset is terrible but I don't mind the stockies for now
