Tasteless is a polite way to say it...
The amount of work in the thing was amazing, like the Fairmont front bar with a filler piece between the headlights and the edges of the side repeaters also painted blue.
Its just... to look at it in the flesh, its wrong.

Its not though. The work is IMACULATE. Paint is pristine, and airbrushing is really well done. Its just that the owner/painter left his brain at the door when creating it.

Tasteless indeed. Although all could almost be forgotten if he were cutting 12s down the 400m.... almost...

yer well he will be happy because people took pics of his car! i bet you his idea was to make a different EF to everyone else, i would have to give that to him as he has successfully done this.

ok so it might not be everyones taste but it stands out. if he enjoys driving it then good on him

nice ef......
the front bar is supplied like that.
choco on the forums has the exact same front bar, even the filler peice between the headlights is the same.

i'm not sure sure why people always use the EL XR side skirts with the venom kit, it in no way matches up... but i guess its an easier option then trying to find the damn venom kits.

without the blue highlights it'd be quite nice..

On the right track but could look better. Could of been a little subtle with the colour scheme.

I like the venom kit, but the colour scheme is a bit eww! Could be a nice car, but it's not like that.

Looks interesting... good on the owner for putting in the effort. I'm more critical of completely stock cars with Supra rear spoilers and such.
