I'm not gonna lie, I have never really cared for either the Autokonexion top or the Pitcrew nose. That said, they look fantastic when combined. A "simple" molding job also does wonders for overfenders (no tacky exposed rivets).
 
Freaking dumb the GC had glass headlight lenses but the BD/G didn't.
 
At least plastic can be refinished; glass is only going to keep collecting rock chips. It's similar with the Accords; at least in America, all 90-93s came with glass two-piece headlights, while in Japan the sedans could have plastic one-pieces. I got a set of the one-pieces for the cleaner look, and since they're a bit on the rare side nowadays I'm glad I have the ability to keep restoring the lenses in the future.

I'm torn. I really want to not like the fact that the tires are stretched as they are and, despite having overfenders, the wheels are still sticking out too far, but the car itself is drop dead gorgeous.

:lol:

Okay so technically it's a kit car, but the company is UK-based and it runs with either Volkswagen or Guzzi power (both utilizing a VW transaxle), so I consider it an import. ;)

Really cool video of the recent Race to the Sky event. Some awesome machinery, including an FD.
 

The livery on this car has changed a bit since this pic was taken. I cycle with the guys that built this car, so I'll see if I can get some more pics today. It's dressed up as a race taxi.
 
Morgan trikes abound.

Glad I didn't buy a Forester. I'd have a hell of a time deciding whether to make the c pillar black or keep it body color.
