+1! I saw the picture earlier and didn't even recognize it as a skyline. When I read his post my first thought was "what skyline?!" Then I realized it

It could/could have looked good. But it doesn't. It's really just the wheel and tire fitment that is terrible. The rest could be cleaned up a little and look alright.

That's no "race car" that's an abomination! It does look good at first glance, but who in their right mind would take a classic icon 92-02 Supra and dumb it down with a new Celica front end conversion. What a bloody shame.

That's a big heaping pile of ****, and so is this, just with a shiny paint job. It's shear ugliness can't be ignored.

Apparently you were so taken by the awesomeness in the last pic, that you couldn't hold still. Is that a Buddy Club equipped Maliboo?

I kinda like the wide whites, reminds me of the old Seville's I used to see growing up in Cleveland. Owner should confuse people and put a rotary in it, just to thumb his nose at an LS swap.
