Neither. After looks like an rsx from the pointed middle part. Both looks like you’re trying too hard. And that wing has gotta go. But that’s just my opinion.

I did not wreck it...

The first one was a really cheap replica from a Chinese company, which doesn't even look right (flat front end and fake vents)...I tried to make it look better by adding a splitter but it turns out worse

Where did you get your splitter? On my touring i got side splitters that ran flush with the body line which added a nice touch.

Was debating adding the front and some cannards but got rekt. Then i got the nismo ahaha

Agreed. This is a car that can easily be more than the sum of its parts. Less is more sometimes.
