I really like that car. I bought two touring cars and three road cars in GT5 so I can have it in various states of tune.

I was thinking it's not too bad until I saw the rear bumper area.

Those vinyls can be easily peeled off though so not a massive loss.

Gee that's a bit sad. A tidy, but tough old beast ruined with that tacky garbage. It's not a complete write off though, those vinyls would be easily removed as others have said. Besides, after 18 years it's probably due for an iron-out and closed door respray anyway. Those tail lights aren't original either, they're from an EL wagon. And where are the badges?

Yes there is a difference....your example would be putting a XB front on a XY..thats wrong.

XY to XY is fine.

Just like a FG front on a BA is wrong...horrid even

I agree, that bumper looks bloaty and puffy on the BA. Not a good match.
