The front end looks good, on a 300ZX, the whole thing looks ou of place IMO...

But sorry I don't know what kind it is, or I would gladly help you...

It looks like they are half bumpers in the front and rear. I sort of like them, not so much the side skirts.

My feeling is that it doesn't fit with the lines of an FC. Too many of the bodykits for the FC that I see are too curvacious. The FC had some curves on it, but it was still much in the boxy body style that was prevalent in the 80s.

IMHO the FC was curvier then most of the import cars during it's time. Really think about it, Starion/Conquest, 300ZX, 200SX, MR2, Supra & AE86. All of these cars had sharp edges & more blocky features. I don't like the look of that front bumper in the original pic, but there is some decent looking kits in the link provided.

It may have been curvier, but it still isn't a curvy car.

I was only stating that because of the 80's reference & it's not boxy. Boxy is an 85 Sentra IMO. While I do agree a lot of bodykits don't follow the factory lines, but SOMETIMES the end result is nice.
