Default name this front end !

This car is for sale here, so please don't bash it, but I can't place this front end.

Is this custom?

Nissan?



Wait, that wasn't bashing was it?


I can honestly say that I've never seen anything like that before.

It has to be a european custom thing. It's not my favorite design, but it could actually be cool if it was reworked to be a little sleeker like the stock front was designed to be. Of course the front license plate mount doesn't do much for it.

I can see some advantages to something like this, especially on a track car. In terms of air intake and keeping the engine bay cool. I think if the design were a little more subtle it would work, but as is, I wouldn't do it. But to each his own.

To me, it more closely resembles the set up on the Rousch Mustangs front bumper. At first glance anyway

Japanese,I'm pretty sure. They were making 2 or 3 body kits. Some guys were trying to get them about 3 years ago but the sellers were not intrested in the shipping and customs hassle.

I like it because it looks right and fits the body lines of the C4 Vette. The front end resembles the Mercedes SL 500.

Very toyota MR2 ish. Its obviously not, but that symbol on the top looks alot like callaways "wings" symbol they put on the newer vettes. Personally, I want it right now. Would especially look nice with an intercooler for a supercharger in the center. Almost seems like thats what it was designed for.
