I respect that the S13 Silvia conversion is on a coupe so it doesn't look like a sil-eighty but the fit and finish is poor, the fuel door is messed up and the wheels throw the whole thing WAYY off. no I understand all that must be expensive but come on guys, expensive doesn't automatically mean nice. "OMG Silvia conversion, ii is automatically good". The front seems unfinished in a way too.
whats wrong with the fit and finish? the origin kit and hood fit up like OEM parts and the b-magic fenders fit pretty good as well. the paint looks pretty good to me especially for my first try at painting. it might just be that theyre cell phone pics. also, the first coat of clear had 1 table spoon of silver flakes in it and the car hasnt been buffed yet. the fuel door thing is pretty gay. the piece came with the b-magic rear overfenders in attempt to bring the fuel door flush with the over fenders. the only thing thats unfinished about the front is that i havent painted the GTR grille yet nor installed it, and the bumper lights arent installed yet. theres nothing left after that. eh, to each his own. the pics really dont do it justice. the car looks purple in the pics when its really ruby red metallic.
