Hi guys...i own an ep81 starlet, which i've converted into a GT. I'm quite done with the engine and chassis upgrades for now, but body wise, i really need a make over. I tried to sit down and think of several options, but somehow i can't seem to make a decision, so i was thinking that you guys could help direct me on how to best improve my car's exterior...I wanna go JDM all the way, nice, simple, but mean and sexy...i've already chosen my base colour for the paint job, and i'm going pitch black all round...

so let's share some ideas guys... :)

here's a few pics of my ride:

yep, that's pearlescent, but the painter didn't do a very good job, bubbles are showing up on the roof, plus i scrapped off some paint on the right rear end, while reversing on my first night out, when i first bought the car...lol...so yeah definitely need a new paint job. i kinda like the front too, but i just need to replace the subframe with the original GT subframe, so that everything lines up. luckily i have one laying around in the garage, just waiting for a good welder. if the paint job was still fresh, i was thinking of painting the bumpers black all around, and then do some touch ups on the hood, what do you think?

BTW, i have an fmic installed, but didn't cut the bumper blades, thought i'll go with a sleeper look, to keep the cops off away, what do you think?

love the idea of the rear spoiler, but they're kinda hard to get where i come...if i could get one along with the GT boot door, would be sick, plus the GT rear lights...

these have been very helpful, thanks Jay...i think i'm falling in love with the tom's replica, but only problem is the height of the car from the ground, after the kit has bee fitted, i will have to get it modified, to suit the kinda roads we have where i come from, some of them are quite rough, especially the road up to my house as you can see in the photos...oh, one more thing, are there any tom's replica kits for 4 door starlets?
