Ah, pics are working now. I don't like the headlights too much, the wheels look real good, but he probably had to use wheel spacers to get them to fit. The brakes look funny cause they're so small though, lol. It looks pretty good, but I've seen better.

Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some will like it, others will hate it...who cares. Just as long as it's clean, which it is.

I like the headlights and fender flares, vents-yuk, rims-yuk, exhaust in middle-yuk, tailights-yuk,for as much as they did to body you'd think they would have come up with something better for tailights, I could spray paint my stock lights too, and achieve the same look....lol Is a unique MX-3 though, just not my taste.

Im sorry guys, I think the car looks nice, but I agree it doesn't look enough like an mx3. Im not dissing the effort or money spent into it, but there is a line that should be drawn when modifying the body...there is a point where it starts to look too much like a different car. It looks boxy. The spoiler I dont like, and the front bumper looks domestic in my opinion. However, I like the dual center exhuast, that looks cool and actually the whole back bumper, minus the painted tails is extremely nice. The headlights look nice also. Please dont reply with "you only wish your car looked half as nice as that one" or some crap like that, these are just my tastes and opinions...

The body colour tail lights are a big thing in Europe, loads of ppl have it done. Not to my taste but it is different.
The rear bumper is custom made, and the front just has a lip. I think the arches are cool and its a very clean job. But I dont like the boxy bit thats next to them. The headlights are from the Fiat Punto, these things are a bugger when they are behind you at night(They look like the police). I think the rims realy suit it, like the Stock 5spoke's but much cooler.
If you dont like it, chill, no need to rabbit on about not liking it. Hes a fellow modder, trying new things.

DONT FOLLOW THE LEMMINGS, BE DIFFERENT, MOD IT.

I like the rear shot but not the front conversion.

The rear looks cool and I think the car would look a lot cooler if he just left the front headlights alone.

NO! It´s a V6 Gs with a cold air intake and some polishing and painting, but just for show! I saw this car in the "Circuit de Catalunya" (Montmelo, the GP track of the world motorcycle roadracing series and F-1) and then it was red painted. I was shocked on how the headlights looked like, and then I found it on the Maxituning web. WHen I saw it in Montmelo, it was sponsorized by Sony X-plod as a platform for all their new stuff. You can also see the polished K8 manifold from the hood scoop!
I was going to call photo chop on this but if Battosai says he saw it with his own eyes, then I trust him.
Some of you have said that it's 'overdone'. When the car is sponsored it gets 'overdone', especially if it's done by Sony X-plod. Have some sense people. The concept of heavy sponsorship is to push the envelope. The fact that it looks like a 2nd gen Supra from the side and a Porsche Boxter from the rear is sick.
Only if NA styling could be so good . . .

one :pimp:

Looks like the MX-3 of the future. I just have one question...What kind of wing is that?
