I think just a GS spoiler would look good, it would keep the car looking low, the GTR is abit high.. Maybe a wrap spoiler?

Well done work. I'm undecided on the rear window delete. I think it looks kind of neat, but I'm not sure. I wonder what it would look like with a GS spoiler. Definitely not a big clothes hanger spoiler.

Wow.. mad props. You put in a lot of time and effort into that. It does not matter if you like it or not, you have to respect all the work you've done.

I was looking forward to seeing how this turned out. Awesome. I didn't think I'd like the rear window gone, but I do. It would look great IMO, if you could round the back end. I like a smoother style, but you did a great job.

Well when it's in all the shows this is how we build them... you cant add a stock looking car with rims a ZE and exhaust to a show and expect to get in. I don't see how it's rice either since I dont see anything thats fake on it or not usable. But to each there own! :shrug:

Nice Job. Just wondering where you got the tail lights? I've been looking for a tinted set like that.

Well if its strictly for shows then I see why you did that style, and like I said it was done very clean. But I see alot of rice in that car personally. But that doesnt mean that it was not a very good job on the work, alot of hard work went into it and I hope you get some trophies this year. Good luck.

I completely disagree , I think that is nice tuner work , the only thing I see thats ricey is the painted hood prop. The back shaved window isn't my taste but nice work on it You should look into doing custom hydraulic arms for it and it would be very unique.

I really think that you are just mixing up your nouns ,
Rice = something that looks like it's off the wall at walmart
Tuner = someone who puts time into making something look asthetically pleasing

Overall Clean ride , and nice custom work :2thumbsup: .

I think it looks good overall... I don't care for the rear window delete but maybe if you had a wraparound spoiler it would look better?

I like how your fiberglassed doors are turning out! :welder:

I thought you had a klze in that thing?!
