I think Jay Murray’s FD Boss is a nicer looking interpretation of the same kit:

Don't like this one but do like the purple one posted before it.

Yeah just to make a stock S14 look like that would be around $8k, and thats just wheels, coilovers and the kit. The kits are very high quality though hence their high price.

It’s a bargain compared to how much liberty walk charge, you’re looking at ~£20k for a lot of their stuff.

Funding a non rotten S14 is a start! Looks cool though.

correct sir, there are quite a few floating about - though IMO this is the best I've seen
I think its the lower front lip which gives it an old school yank muscle car feel. Like.
This one without the lower front lip looks half the car - ok I'm exaggerating a little but this is the internet so I have to.

Cool. Proves the point that low, bulging arches and prominent tyre sidewalls looks race retro cool on most cars !

I think that might just be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on four wheels. Retro jap cool, with yank muscle car influence, with more than a passing nod to an old Escort/Alfa.

I love the differences in opinion this thread throws up. Apols if this one has been done before; Willy Izaguirre's Batmobile tribute. I hope the ongoing increase in classic car prices doesn't stop people doing stuff like this:

Those Rocket Bunny S14 and RX-7 kits look great at the from and the sides. Not sure about the rear ends though, taking the bumper off the S14 and fitting a diffuser, and adding some more overhang on the RX-7




For reference, if they were going to do an old style rear to match the front, heres an old Silvia and RX3

About the same time F&F Tokyo Drift was released
You can still find ones for 2k-ish but they're completely shot.
