IMO... Car just looks better to me without the bumper/hood. Maybe it is the Civics that ruined the look for me. Personally, I like the car just lowered with a nice set of rims.

I do however, LOVE your avatar. And officially request permission to steal it for another (non acura) forum....

funny sh!t

SO do you guys think the front end is retarded or the whole car?? The thread is about the front end. I love it. On the other hand, I honestly do not like the car either... Overkill. IMO.

Unless that pic is for another product I would say that VISracing.com makes that kit as it says it all across the picture but I could be wrong. I didn't search their site to thoroughly.

But to me the kit looks like a modified Black Widow style kit .

well, it's a show car. practicality is not one of the top priorities when buildling for the show circuit.

-and he still has a passenger seat.

Anyone know what is under the hood on that thing???

Formula:

{%(money spent on looks) + %(money spent on sound)} / %(money spent on speed) = R_factor

If R_factor > 1, then , Otherwise no rice

Lower the R_factor the better, but just my

you forgot the variable "x" which represents sponsor discount, driving the factor of % money spent down near to none.
