That particular design has the fender lips stick out awkwardly in my opinion but it does make it look more muscular. Just because it didnt come out of the factory like that doesnt make it automatically rice.

you were comparing the stock bentley to the aftermarket kit to the G35.

So yes it looks out of place on the G35. and not on the Bentley.

The lines of the veilside widebody clearly do not follow the lines of the g35.

I would round off the corners next to the door handle but its not a bad fender, its does match the cars boxy and straight lined sides.

Progress is going pretty fast on this build, new pictures.

Wow...just...wow. You're comparing a Celica to a Ferrari. Really? There is zero comparison there.

You're talking about modifying a G35 coupe to look like an exotic car. Not a JDM sport-compact tuner that actually cost less off of the lot than the G coupe did.

The people who buy G35 coupes are not going to buy "conversion" kits. It just isn't going to happen. People buy G35's because they're G35's. Not because they want to buy a G35 and spend $10,000 buying a body kit to make it look like a Lambo.

I really hope you're trolling. Because if you're not, I just feel sorry for you...

At least his build is going. And isn't a bunch of paper mache taped to the hood of a car...

is this guy really comparing the eclipse and celica with what he's doing??

this guy really is stupid.

lettuce remind you that the eclipse and celica come like that (appearance wise) from the factory. Nobody has modified it with paper mache. What you're doing is modifying the G35 to look like something it isn't. While the eclipse/celica are not modified to look like something they are not. Hence the modified G35 being a poser, but not the eclipse/celica. Your argument is invalid.

You want to see original designs, that is almost none existent. Its easy to talk but doing it is another story.

The notion of me using fast car design cues and being labeled a wannabe, but its okay for a car manufacture to use those same cues on a slow car... why does a million/billion dollar automobile company have a greater right then me?


The people who buy G35 coupes are not going to buy "conversion" kits. It just isn't going to happen. People buy G35's because they're G35's. Not because they want to buy a G35 and spend $10,000 buying a body kit to make it look like a Lambo.
You're not thinking about buyers off the street that want an exotic looking car.

What authority gives these factories the right to use fast car design cues on slow cars and be legit but if I do it Im labeled a ricer. Your argument is invalid and even worse you're like a brainwashed drone reacting to what "society" dictates.


I would take this car over a stock g35.
