I believe it's being driven by an IG influencer who took the keys for it at a recent event at the LC Heritage Museum, I remember seeing something about this last week. I think some of Flex's 80 series with the retro components look OK, but the 100s are too big of a leap and they look cobbled together. The two tone color isn't my thing either.
wow, never seen this before.
The pastel colors that this builder seems to favor are not doing it any favors. It’s essentially a 60 front clip grafted to a 100, and while the execution seems ok, the proportions at the front are a little awkward. The right (darker) colors mask it better.
Yeah, Japanese tuning/car culture has a weird fascination with grafting older fronts top new models, vice versa or manufactures.
9/10 times it looks fugly IMO.
Some examples.
Looks better on the 7 than the 8.
