is it supposed to be this one ?

Hum after an another look, i havent noticed the change on the front headlights of the race car comparing to the street car.

It looks good, though the real car got like a hat on the roof.

mine is the same as this one

I would say don’t ever compare the street car with the GT500 car, because they are no where the same.

The headlight unit is basically one off for the GT500 race car compare to the street car unit which you may want to have a third look at.

The roof duct (the hat thing) was an optional part for cockpit ventilation, you may notice they switched to a larger duct in Sepang due to hot weather.

Thanks for the comments.

AS

Aren’t GT500 cars silhouette vehicles? Meaning space frame dressed up as a road car?

Yup, they are.

So writing things like ‘roof/headlights don’t match the road car’ is a bit pointless.

Here’s a link to a video with a little bit info on the Nismo GT500 car: http://speedhunters.com/archive/2008/12/05/video-gt-gt-the-world-s-fastest-nissan-gtr.aspx
