Chobis Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I don't reckon the lip will suit the wags. Will make it look too front heavy? Hmmmm....... would be good to see one rigged up there for a look though. Hard to visualise. Don't reckon it will go with the walls and venetian. Although you pulled that looks off on the 20 with a lip, venetian and walls and that car looked effing sick! Yeh maybe just don't listen to me cos I dunno what I'm talking about. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yeah I vote no front lip I just don't think it would look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeAE71 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yeah I vote no front lip I just don't think it would look right How did I know I would open this thread to find styling tips from you ;) Ben you need to spend more time producing something worthy of our attention. If you spent half as much time on that as you do handing out advice you would produce something jaw dropping :P Oh and Troy, wicked as always :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Opinions? I can get this exact lip cheap in fiberglass. That exact lip won't fit the wagon as its for a "pointy nose" RX4. The Flat nose and "merc front" RX4/929's had a much flatter lower apron as well so you'll end up with a gap in the centre of it. Oh and PM me some bank details and how much you want for that mirror. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyboy Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 no to a lip man, keep this car simple, your ke20 had way to much going on and the whole thing near the end started becoming a mess. while i enjoy a "JDM" styled car as much as the next person, there is a point where you reach and just need to say thats enough. fenders mirrors would prob be overkill as well. maybe just change up the style of the door mirror. like you are kinda going for a euro dub look with the flappers and sitting low, but then you want to throw on a lip and some fender mirrors more common on the "JDM" styled cars. this is my opinion, but its your car troy and this is obviously your style as we've seen, each to there own.

I'm not going for any look nick. I do whatever i think looks good, i have never restricted myself to a certain style, i like aspects of JDM, euro, as well as things like ratrods and hotrods. I take what i like and try them on my cars, so far it seems to be pretty successful as everyone seems to like them and most importantly i love them. I don't think my 20 was over styled at all, it had a fair bit going on but i think it blended very nicely together and made a fantastic looking car.

RA28GT Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 $20 should cover postage to TAS. As soon as my fender mirrors arrive ill take her off and send her to you.

If someone doesn't agree with my opinion they do not have to take it on board. I'll try and get some pics of my newest KE70 and maybe my VW up here if you want?

smeetsy1 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Then what is stopping you ben? Troy, I think this car has already reached it's potential. I wouldn't do anymore to it. But, if you love changing the look, maybe change existing things on the car? I.e. - flappers to twin whitewalls? - different mirrors? - different colour stocks?

Wont be going double walls as i like my flappers. Potential is a limitation that people create in their heads, everyone has the potential to change and improve. Although having said that I'm not planning to do much more and what i have done and will be doing is very low on cost in the grand scheme of things. Its now rocking fender mirrors (wont be for everyone) and I've started on my stereo install: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
