Broken promises



Yes, I know many of you wanted to see this as something like GTR. I even had an idea how to do it. But it didn't worked. In fact - I couldn't find anything. Bumpers, fenders... Nothing.

But.

Richard Dreemurr (you may know him from his Road to Glory blog) sent me an interesting contact. Basically, there's a guy who imports parts from Japan. Long story short we found out he has genuine PS Duce bodykit in his store - some guy ordered it, but never bought it.
I thought - why not? There's no such thing as finished project car, and in the end I can buy another one. GTR. It'll surely be easier than finding GTR parts.


As you probably noticed, the bodykit isn't the only thing that changed. There's new hood and grille - the only spares Alex (previous owner) had. I've never tried them on. And I really regret not doing it. It looks so dope (IMO). I don't know why, but it reminds me of the Odyvia converts S13 drivers used to do.


That feeling when complete bodykit imported from Japan is cheaper than rims you got in your country. But it wasn't that much - considering their unicorn-ness and prices of many new aftermarket wheels.







With new bodykit, there's new stance. Old setting didn't fit it at all, obviously, so we got to drop both front (a bit) and rear (a bigger bit). Sits pretty nice, doesn't it?


The interior is still the same though. And I'm not going to change it soon, maybe I'll replace passenger seat with some bucket too to fit the other one, but it's not my priority - I may end up with removing it as well ;)



Cruising with Mike. I love that part of Valo!
