Going back to the point, i think the grey/blue is 100% hands down sexy on that SHO. I agree that the tails need to be shaded darker and loose the circles. Keep the slicers gun metal and if you can, find gun metal inserts for the lettering and use that too. Paint the handles blue as well. Loose those rocket launchers on the tail and put in some nice stainless 2.5 inch pipes.

EDIT: Oh, also, loose the Ford Blue on the dash board :p

What Sam...nothing witty to say?

I agree with Sam et. all but I really like it...it's gonna look great under street lights!

That and it's too bad you couldn't have the body line shaved. That would have been expensive...

Is that an Accord front bumper witht he SHO grill section still atached? Let's see it. Looks way too small for the car. Still interested to see it though. The paint job looks decent though. Def finish painting the door handles and trunk lid. The tails should be ditched in favor of smoked stockers.

I'm getting rid of the dash this weekend I liked the interior colors at 1st but now "not so much". I originally was going to paint the car a similar color as the dash but a little closer to these.

So who has a pair of smoked tails for sale? Rice or not the pipes aren't disappearing anytime soon bc I like em, but I do agree with the the opinions of the tails, dash, and lower portion of the trunk.

The bumper will be cut on the side and extended and then they'll either graft in or make a mold of the upper portion of the front bumper so that it flows well from bumper to lights.

Another thing I need is a driver's side A-pillar

Wow. I wanted to have a R33 GT-R bumper custom made to fit but using a honda accord bumper as a basis is not the right way to go about it. The bumper pictured is too short and barely wide enough. The propper way to do it would to be having that same bumper molded to the SHO grill and sides where it bolts to the fenders. That just looks horrible. I would call up Andy's Auto Sport and have them make one but way better.

Andy's can't make one I just called them. How were you going to make the R33 GT-R's bumper work on your car and are you saying it would be easier to cut the middle section out of the honda bumper with the R33 styling and have it blended with the SHO bumper? My guys are going to do something similar and cut it, extend it, and then mold the upper portion of the bumper in so that it flows like one piece made for the SHO and not a Honda. Kind of like the opposite of that Accord pic with a GenI rear bumper on it. Accord has lower portion of SHO REAR bumper & SHO has lower portion of a Honda FRONT bumper

Having what you said done in a fiberglass mold would be soo much easier. That is how the Skyline bumper came to be made for everybodies Civic and Sentra and Accord and Scion etc... Let us know how it works out. Maybe Andy's will want to mold your bumper if done propperly so others can buy it. Oh and make sure that when the do the mold that they completely remove the "intercooler" holes in the upper section. They are just absolutely hideous.

If the grille was molded on and there was something to fill the gap between the headlights and the bumper, it might look ok. Definitely not feeling the taillights tho or the exhaust but to each their own.
