Yeah, not seeing it. I see a nasty FI 8 with a very creative hood that none could match regardless if you appreciate the style or not you cant dismiss the effort and skill that went into it thusly its place in this thread is ill thought out

You mean this one

Also going to have to disagree, although I don't particularly like the hood its a one off that should be appreciated regardless of your personal beliefs. Regardless of the hood its a clean 8.

I guess our definitions of clean are very different then. The eye lids, the stupid bumper brackets, the wheels, I hate it all.

I have always loved Skyline Sedans. I never knew they had that weird rear wiper though.

Yeah but do they make a 4 door current body style G37 looking Skyline? I don't believe so, but I am more often than not wrong, in case of arguments with the wife that stat drops drastically to 0% correct 100% wrong!
