I personally am not feeling their car. I really am not feeling that carbon truck for some reason. Is it just me, or what are your thoughts on the car? The #'s look nice though, I'll say that.

I agree - they need to do something about the silver insert around the license plate which would help. Silver is one of my least favorite colors, also don't care for the wheels (but at around 13.5 lbs for 17s I'd consider a set for the track). And seeing those pics sans-spoiler makes me appreciate the Si spoiler. However... their car is all about the go and you can't argue with that.

I don't like the carbon fiber trunk. The wheels are pretty cool, though.

The Si seems to respond well to mods

Im with you guys on the whole carbon trunk as well...i also think they could have done better with the rims...but like webby said...cant agree with the numbers

wow i think it looks pretty good i juss dont like the silver insert on the trunk but mayb they can change that... i wish the car was white lol but yea i am also loving the numbers gosh i cant wait!!! lol im so excited for sema!!!

I wonder if the carbon fiber hood will be half the price since its about half the size of any other.

Ep3racer954 · 10-28-2005, 10:17 PM

^^^
lol thats hilarious!

New pics over at TOV. Looking more like the concept. I'm liking the rear a little better, but they still need to do something about the license plate insert.

**2fast4u2** · 10-29-2005, 02:05 PM

I'm disliking it more and more

Ep3racer954 · 10-29-2005, 05:35 PM

That hood looks awesome. I got to invest in one as soon as i find a good deal on 1. should be around 150 bones, since it so small.

youngxlos · 11-02-2005, 09:32 AM

i have to agree, with a few of yah.
the carbon fiber rear did kind threw it off, but they did fix it. some florida dealer send them a black center peace to match the cf. now the numbers we cant arguee with. but they didnt have enough time to even get the HFP body kit on. oh well still a great car to me.
