no wing, no bumper guard, new wheels and a drop is all it needs not a bad conversion though

put in a rb25 and some GTS-T stickers and sell it as a real skyline for $25k i bet it would work lol

thanks guys. yea there were alot of gaps here and there especially the rear tail lights, so we just took it apart and put it back as close as we can and my cousin went and got some type of rubber/foam type stuff and we just cut it and filled the gaps..

like i said this isnt my car its my cousins, i should have some pix of my car up after we're done too.. but its not going to be like any of my cousins cars, i like it plain, clean and simple thats it...

edit: yea im not too fond of the wing either but like biggamehit said this aint my car and he likes it like that so w/e..

I love this car, very nice! I with the others...keep the bumper gaurd, it looks great and it's just different! Only thing I'm not fond of is the wing but that's just me. Nice car overall!
