wow looks great have u put it in car shows etc?

naa .. not yet coz the right hand side rear door to quarter panel is keyed and a few dents and things so not yet ... hopefully i mite put it in next years sydney autosalon

looks good, i like it, when i first looked at it i thought it was a r34 skyline :D

ohhh very nice mate, got any more pics?

Another magna with a stripe...whoop :D

very nice!
all though try not to lie... heheh we all no thats not a CUSTOM body kit
its an off the shelf item from car mate curtosy of BRICKS
but mate nice job anyhow
very FAST and FURIOUS;)

:shock:

its different, i'll give ya that ;)

Some might find this strange - but I think that car looks sweet. Needs some parabolic headlights, clear side indicators, lowered some more then a big F off FMIC. :D

cool, good to see something different, the Kit looks like an R34 GTR

I'm going to go against the grain here... I don't like it...

GTR - that's it! That's why I like the look of it so much I think...

looks good

not a big fan of the black stripes
not to say they dont look to bad but
not my cup of tea

thats my 2c anyway

I'm going to go against the grain here... I don't like it...

I'm with you, just don't appeal to me. The stripes look particularly weird. No offence, buy in that photo they look like duct tape.

Not my cup of tea, but I actually don't mind it. It'd look better with parabolic lights and lowered tho :)

I really like the air vents in your guards. As ricey as they might seem... they remind me a lot of the ones off the new VE Commodores.

comment withdrawn! ahh bugger it

the lines on the car (not the stripes) the body lines and way it flows are terrible!

it looks shocking, disgusting foul horible, i hate it...

riced up magna....


but the above is MY opinion...

your opinion of my car may be the same!

the main thing is you like it, and thats all that matters, after all its your money thats gone into it not mine..


i will say though good effort, even though i dont like it, you have put a lot of work into it

Doesn't look too bad. Bonnet bulge looks really really cheap though, doesn't even join the bonnet properly most noticeably on the passenger side close to the windscreen

It's always great to see new members join this site who are actually putting their money where their mouth is and doing something unique with their magna. Once you get into the "body styling" side of car modification, there are always going to be people who say "it's ugly", or "xxxxx kit looks better", but thats just the way it is. Sometimes someone will actually make a good point when they criticise something on your car - and it will give you an idea of something to improve.

Anyway - here's a couple of suggestions:

Lower it more (I know it's been said already)
Colour code the wing mirrors
Parabolic headlights (again, I know it's been mentioned earlier)
Loose the rear wing

:stoopid:
Exactly right!
may i add; Clear side indicators....mesh the front bar thing with all one mesh and all one color....and get rid of those front side indicator thingys...

I personally don't like it as it is (i would of slammed it on stockies instead of having it stock height on 18"s) but i think there's a ton of potential there.

Don't Loose the wing! It's nice to see some one has been adventerous and decided to put something other than an Evo or Magna/rada wing on there car. I reckon all in all the ride is sweet, but that's cos im a rice boy disguised as a white guy... so cors i will, but yeah big intercooler, clear repeaters, but leave the Side mirros black... also maybe graft the bulge!
All in all! Nice Work! It is a fantastic starting point.

TUFFTR look close that cant be lowered if he wants to drive it, the front hangs way too low, and to have the same tyre to guard clearance as your car the front lip of that would be sitting flat on the road

I havent decided if i like it or not yet.
Got some really good features to it and sum im not too sure on.
Some more pictures would be nice ( interior, Rear)
But you get points for trying in my book well done. :clap: :thumbsup:

because you can't lower it without that front bumper hitting road reflectors :shock: , I would get some 20s or even 22s to fill up the guards.

but then you'd have to get the speedo recalibrated to account for the larger OD.

other than that, it doesn't look too bad. lose the indicator covers and go the clear lens indicator (search for it). para's and clear side repeaters would finish it off.

cheers,
.wook

I have same front bar and im lowered with lovells superlows all round on 18's and no problem at all.Anyway your car looks good something different.And yeah looks like a skyline but i know it aint

looks realy good mate, nice job..... must say i have never seen one like it befor :)

hey mate looks aws as!
go the stripes! as scotty (hy_boi) said:bowrofl: :cool:
welcome to the club :)
i love the front side lights how you have colour coded them never seen that done before and the side air vents,keep up the good work,maybe some interior and motor work now?

looks realy good mate, nice job..... must say i have never seen one like it befor :)

shucks :redface: hehe

just wanted to give him an idea how low ya can get and what bigger wheels look like :P

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h251/slamd6/106_0133.jpg

That's pornography

that orange car would be 10million times better if he got reversed into and the insurance repaired it and put a JVM bar on it!!!

nar it would look 10million times better with a cooler behind it actually... but thats on the cards :P

Far out. I feel so well, stock!

Far out. I feel so well, stock!

I know aye ;)

i like it - in a strange way.

i like it because its something different and obviously its something that you like - which makes it individual.
you see too many magnas getting around that are too similar (unfort) and its good to see someone making a break from the `norm

tho, personally, not my cup of tea either - but i like it coz its left of center

I love the uniqueness to it! :P

Couple of things that need changing though, wheels need to be bigger IMO to suit that kit, and it needs to be "a lot" lower. Otherwise, looks great.

thanks for all the feed back guys ... ye4 i want to get the verada headlights and i dont think i want to change anything else im happy the way it is ... but little things can be improved on as i wanna lower it but not to sure how much i can go ... and that oranga magna lookz very nice ...

I'd be looking for 20"s pronto to fill them arches up!

Wow that's different!!
I reckon put on the parabolic lights.
Lowered
Paint lowest part (flat bit inder numberplate) of the front bar matte charcoal.

:cool:

ye4 i want to get the verada headlights

Absolutely, they look much better than standard ones.

ye4 i want to get the verada headlights
Make sure you get the 1-piece ones....two piece ones don't look anywhere near as good IMO.

just thought id put a few more pics up since i only had the one coz all the pics were on the other comp witch i was rebuilding so ye4
in a few weekz im getting bigger rims maybe 19" or 20" but there gonna be deep dish black with the silver around ...
and also does anyone kno where i would be able to get scissor doors in NSW?? and how much would it be ... and today i saw a two tone magna black top and gold bottom .. looked not bad had the same kit as mine ... jus diff rear bar ... and put abit of work in it i rekon...
ohh and jus thought id point another thing out .. noticed i took of the side moulds and fiberglassed it up ... makes the door look much better ...

That has developed a very long way and i like it!

Man i appreciate the work gone into your car but nothing does it for me sorry to say (not that you care anyway im sure you love it!)

Butttttt yeah those rear taillights covers HAVE to go...and possibly the ralliart wing would tie in better.

I preferred the side strip thing as it breaks up the side of the door....

you have come far congratulations on a nice ride

just a few q's is it legal to cover up the headlights like that i can understand tail lights and indicators but by the looks they would be restricting your head light coverage

since your confident with fiber glass you should do some work on the bonnet bulge the only thing about it that really puts me off is how is sits on the bonnet

and what happened to the rear bar look like some thing is chippin it away

imho i think the stuffed toys relly set the car off

is a great ride and has potential

THREAD DIG!

But this car has just shown up on ebay selling as parts because it was stolen and recovered.


Sorry to hear the news d.temp.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Why would you want to steal that...

To sell parts and make a profit maybe?... just a hunch

Man your car looks so sexy.
