    Pictures of this car are starting to pop up from time to time with a lot of people wondering where the styling originates from, so I thought I'd put up some information. It lives in Kawasaki, Japan. The body styling is by Mission with their front bar, side skirts, rear bar and rear over fenders. Not sure on the wing and front fenders. Exhaust is a single exit by Apexi.

    Here's a video of how it sounds:

    Unfortunately, the car was recently crashed on the tomei expressway. This was caught on film too:

    I believe it is still currently in the body shop being repaired.

    Wow. Nice detail mate.

    I do love the shot of the rear, just sits so nicely.

    Other angles are a bit funny, but overall i could imagine driving it. Definitely styled.

    What a job to pull the rear back straight. Donor car was black obviously.

    Got the giggles seeing that frogger photo though. haha

    From the front, it means business. From the side it has the same effect on me as Veilside styling, too bloody busy!
    The Supercheap/Ebay rear wing! Tacky, added on!
    The wing, brazillion and overdone rear bar just all clash visually.
    Wheels are hawwwt tho!!!

    'Tis just MHO.

    Love it from the front and rear, skirts aren't sitting right with me though.

    I'd rock that rear bar though

    Wanted to click thanks button for Anti, but it doesn't show :confused:

    As San has mentioned, black donor car, but l didn't notice any obvious damage to the hatch unless the glass was cracked, that would require a replacement (maybe he is ditching that wing) but definitely don't see damage to the passenger door in the accident pics.

    Anyway, thanks for being thoughtful enough to put the repair pics up too :)

    Over all it's not a bad looking result(but I wouldn't be breaking my neck to do the same thing to my Z32).
    Biggest criticism is that glaring vacant cut-out on the right rear(which is screaming for someone to return an exhaust tip).:eek:

    Very tough looking car. I like it, though have never been a fan of single exhausts on these cars.

    Love the styling, don't mind the side skirts, they seem to work with the rest of the car, but not something i'd go with, that spoiler however is hideous :vomit:

    The fronts OK. Don't like the side, the vents ruin it for me.

    Dont like the side vents as well.

    Front looks great, back is okay and side skirts are fine.. I think it might look better from the side if it was a 2+0.
