Never has been that way and never will!
The term "enthusiast" is just too broad and what one guy loves another will hate!

I personally think big wings and rocket bunny kits look ridicules even when they are functional (when let's be honest here most aren't) and will certainly make fun of them in a light hearted manner but would also grab a torch and start cutting up your car if you asked for help.

When done right the RB kit 1 looks pretty damn sexy but the cost and cutting fenders is to extreme for me.

Bottom line from an aesthetics point, if it does not look good enough without the fake fender to cover it, then it is shit. As to the final look, I have no problems.

From a structural point, it is probably no worse than a 10 year old car with rusted out wheel arches. So, yeah, it wont fall apart is the best I can say.

But not to worry, there are enough people on this planet that don't know shit form Shinola so this mod is bound to find people who buy it.

Fair points but then it would just be a full custom kit with a ridiculous wheel well..which people could do if they wanted to I suppose. Then it would look like the fenders on my father's custom 39 chevy...We can hide bodies in those humps (one giant flip forward hood, fenders attached)

Best part about this thread is Katy perrys beautiful bosom. Thanks for that. I no longer know what a "rocket bunny" is

Realistically, if you need to ask these questions, a kit this involved may not be your best bet...

I don't see why everyone seems to be making a moderate sized hoopla about this. Just tryna get some feedback. And I guess I'm pretty much getting it. I understand the amount of money it would take for the kit and the cost of getting it put on. I'm fully aware of the work that it would need. Like I said. Just want some feedback. Not something I would just jump into. I mean shit I just got the car. I personally love the stock body. The lines and the angles. I'll get everything I want for MY FRS all in due time.

Most or nearly all of the people who ask these kind of questions aren't ready to do it. Financially and/or the knowledge/balls to make it work.

Step 1. Buy kit.
Step 2. Install.
Step 3. Measure.
Step 4. Buy wheels.
Step 5. Enjoy

Let us know when you get past step 1.

Gonna dispute your steps there Swarb!
Most of the posts of guys asking about Rocket Bunny for their car start out with "Once I get the car"
At least he has the car already!


Step 1. Buy car - Complete (for OP)
Step 2. Buy kit.
Step 3. Install.
Step 4. Measure.
Step 5. Buy wheels.
Step 6. Enjoy

You got this from the used toyota dealer across from darcars right? I used to walk by it every other day during my lunch break.

What do you expect when you post a lofty thread with a frankly dumb question that has been covered in droves elsewhere? Your thread title doesn't even hint that you have a question. Perhaps you just threw the question in because, without it, it'd be a really dull directionless thread.. if everyone started threads for their one-off thoughts on general forums there'd be so much clutter.

Just saying there's plenty of (open discussion) rocket bunny threads already, dunno why your case is special. But whats forum clutter anyway

Here's a question you should honestly consider: Were you looking for feedback, or were you looking for validation?

If you wanted feedback, yes, you are getting it. Many of us think that the Rocket Ninny garbage ruins a perfectly good car. If you want feedback, some of it is most definitely going to be negative.

However, it sounds more like you wanted validation, that you were enthusiastic about slapping that crap on your car and wanted other people to tell you that you would be making the right move. If that's what you want, you probably need to find a Rocket Ninny thread and post there. The rest of us usually don't venture into that kind of cesspool, because ick. You and the other Rocket Ninny aficionados can chest bump, brofist and otherwise celebrate your questionable taste without much interference from anyone. You might even get some advice on what gold chains, hair product and spray on tan best complement the body kit when driving it to the Jersey Shore bars.

So don't get mad. If you want to do that to your car, go right ahead. You'll find plenty of people who think it's awesome, brah. At least now you also know that some of the people you'll see grinning at your car are doing so derisively.

Since when did having a RB kit become a jersey shore douche bag thing? And validation for what BRAH? If I was looking for validation I would have just asked if the RB kit was a cool thing to do. I could have sworn all I did was ask the size for the wheels. And thanks man. The only reason I won't be mad cause you told me not too. I appreciate your feedback brah. I'll see you at the jersey shore!
