Fiddling with photoshop I came up with this...
So i have a kazz kit sitting in my garage and have a headlight mod on the way... I was bored sat after work and was in my office just chilling... no new anime to watch, no new option videos to watch... no money for any projects since uncle bill if after me plus put ALL my chassis and current projects for sale to clear house and pay the bills.... i fired photochop up and after zig zag dubidowoop around some pics and cuting and rezising some layers this came up... i could be a good drift or track car or simply a nice GS-F 1st gen contender lookalike (lol)
what do you think?
what would you change?

thats almost like what i'm going for right now (sans the red and the wing)
I was going for a track/luxury blend. My kit isn't quite as aggressive as the Kazz kit, but it has racing leanings more so than VIP. The grille concept is the thing that changes the cars 'direction' IMO. A sportier grille vs. a VIPish grille changes the whole car, cause the grille is the weakest part of the styling. I FINALLY got someone from australia to get one of the inspection/firesport grilles and have it shipped over, which would make the grille look similar to your photoshop.
I like the way the side mirrors change the look dramatically. I just wouldn't go with something too F&F if you know what I mean. Also the matching side window trim with the hood/grille/accent colors is sweet! Those wheels look delicious with that fitment and lastly, a different spoiler please .

I have noticed how newer sport cars in japand are changing to the full face-no lip style wheel with very agressive offsets... which look really yummy. I did red since I have a gallon laying in my garage... (muhahahaha)
For a street car I would dodge the wing althogether and probably get some 5Zigen ZR+520's:

hmmm... if you make it look this fast... it better go that fast
I have noticed the no lip racing wheel trend with near flush fitment. But there is something just so delicious about lips...
and what kind of mod did you decide for the headlights? chaser style right?

yes; technically black out the headlight area and leave the sidemarker area chrome and use garage9's clear lenses mod. It will look pretty much like this I believe.
Also aboutt he go fast...
for a sportier sedan like this... if I was to sell my other projets most likely would try to get a rolling chassis 1st gen then get a jzx100 manual tranny front clip and use this as a source since all the peripherials will be there for the manual converstion plus the wiring, brakes, etc.
1J is way more responsive out of the box than a 2J imho and also more rev happy. To me, it is the ideal track motor for the get-go IMHO...
maybe... just maybe, if all my other projects go awat I will get some traction on something like this....
kind of like my dream; keep my DD gs mildly vip styled and have another full race 1st gen for track days... now THAT would be awesome!

I like wheels with lips, but theres just something about wheels without lips with aggressive measurements I love. Work Emotion CR's in chrome
Photoshops not bad. IMO, I would choose a different wing though.
