that looks totally different then the rotaryextreme kit to me for some reason. is it suppose to be the same one? does the rotary extreme version come with the little vent/cuts in the front fender (near the lower part of the door) as the re kit has?

actually it is ugly as hell because it is new....if you stare at it long enough and imagine a few different colors it starts to grow on you just like anything new. There is a difference between new and ugly, and it first it is hard to differentiate, just give it some time.

I've seen it plenty of times as the racecar, and it's f'ed up.
Most kits with any hard edges, gaudy details, slats, fins, etc. look like **** on this car, because the original design is all 3-D curves, smooth taught surfaces, and SUBTLE details... the art of subtlety has been lost on alot of folks on this forum. The original RE 95 widebody was the best of their kits, because it simply looks most like an exagerated version of the original car.

i agree. i never have liked it.
i dont like alot of the JGTC cars though....they are all boxy looking based off of fairly sleek cars

i think it looks awesome. this isn't your regular cheap street body kit. this is the ultimate with race-proven aerodynamics. it's not for looks. it's like the saleen sr. it may look ugly to some, but it's the ultimate

I think the front half of the kit looks nice. From the angles of the pictures, the rear seems as if it just "cuts off" like an S7. I love how the rear of a stock FD looks, curvy and voluptuous.

^^ People usually only get the widebody kits like that, that add 4 inchers per side for race or for show (stateside, its the latter). Seeing that on the track looks great, don't get me wrong, but seeing it drive on the street. . . . . it just looks totally out of place.

I think it is great. . . .for a race car but on a street car it would look very lame. Race cars are supposed to look good anyway. . . they are supposed to be fast. RE's car is fast ergo I like it.
