I recently had the opportunity to shoot Canada's first rocket bunny FRS which was a built by SR Auto Group and Open Road Scion.

Enjoy!

Awesome pics!

Evasive Motorsports 04-24-2013 05:02 AM

looks good!

Minovsky 04-24-2013 07:51 AM

Hmm I don't get the hype for this hit really.. Owell nice pictures btw...

CaptainSlow 04-24-2013 08:38 AM

Really looks great...very clean. That color looks amazing in dimmer light, and the wheel choice was spot on.

Xauterus 04-24-2013 08:45 AM

So what are the wheel specs to fit that kit? width and offsets?

FasterpromsFRS 04-24-2013 01:19 PM

I'd drive it.

turbos86 04-24-2013 01:40 PM

Went to see this car at their dealership this past weekend. The paint is all scratch up from sitting inside the showroom, after everyone and anyone running their nails all over it. And not to be a jerk, but I noticed paint chipping off on the right front over fender, where it meets the body. The car looks cool from a distant, really horrible up close. Totally not feeling the rivet look and all the red paint logos. Although the CF fog light bezels and side mirrors are a nice touch.

Needs more holding my steering wheel out the window pictures!

Nicely done, definitely digging the choices for this RB FRS.

Mr.Jay 04-24-2013 06:54 PM

yay the finally removed all the plastic on the insides

seen this car up close and not a fan of the colour matching of the lip and skirt as well as the badges

I am not a fan of either company tho lol as you can tell with my sig warning all to stay away from them

rainmonkey 04-24-2013 07:41 PM

purely out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the body kit? It looks great, but what're the performance benefits?

suaveflooder 04-24-2013 07:51 PM

Wow, looks amazing

Same as any wide body kit, you can run wider tires for more grip.

Provided you have sufficient power to warrant the wider tires.

Here's the video!

Needs black/carbon fiber rivets, and much wider wheels.

RIPTRD71 04-24-2013 08:50 PM

Looks........BEAUTIFUL!

charged86 04-24-2013 09:27 PM

I like this version of the rocket bunny I like the color usages and everything. How ever I do not like the fact that you have to cut up the body panels. I come from the vw world and they will actuall make a metal fender and weld that to the body and make new wheel wells. With steel . Thus making it a real widebody not a cut and paste. Sorry to poo in your thread just my little .02

Shagaliscious 04-24-2013 09:52 PM

Looks very nice. Great pictures.

6-Shift 04-24-2013 10:00 PM

If other "dealer installed" packages are evidence, my guess for the price on this car is north of 50k....crack pipe.

just dont like the hood... needs to be painted in my opinion.... i like the look f carbon upainted on asphalt and raven but its too much contrast on other colors for my taste

OICU812 04-25-2013 03:00 AM

This kit is not my thing, I however understand the attraction for some. Really well done pictures and video, the song even went with the video nicely. :)

Cudgel 04-25-2013 10:58 AM

Sexy! Great photos too!

RehabJeff86 04-25-2013 12:37 PM

Amazing

BRZ? 04-30-2013 07:00 PM

you don't need a body kit to run wider tires, I just want people to be absolutely clear on this.


having said that this is one of my favorite body kits of all time, on any car. Personally I love the rivet style, makes it look so raw.

BigFatFlip 04-30-2013 07:48 PM

Good job on the video!

nethater 04-30-2013 07:49 PM

what up with negative reviews? It a personal choose. More power to the owner.

CamryDS 04-30-2013 07:50 PM

I get the rivets and the spoiler since they need to match, but shoppingcart spoiler isn't my thing. Kind of looks played out IMHO -- rest of the body without the rivets, etc looks great (pain the hood).

I think with a lip spoiler or even the TRD spoiler, it would have been better off.

Just my 2 cents.

I concur, the mirrors don't do it for me either. I just have to remind myself, different strokes.

I agree about the wing, but, if I ever bought the kit I'd go with it. Just looks so good on this car. The mirrors, I'm up in the air about.

Sent from SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE. KEEP CALM AND CHIVE ON.

LeeMaster 04-30-2013 09:54 PM

Man I love everything about this car, very good job well done. :thumbup:

Dorb 04-30-2013 10:12 PM

More weight for our little boxer to move.

Snoopy_TXR 04-30-2013 10:59 PM

Nice car, nice photos! Well done!!

NemesisPrime909 05-01-2013 12:20 AM

congrats on being the first.

However, and this just me talking, I'm a little jaded on the RB kit. I mean I've seen a ton of them from shows or other users (one has one almost exactly like this one save for gold rims).

Hopefully Tra-Kyoto will come up with a new kit for the ZN6 because there aren't too many good looking kits out there.

Why? Because it's just a dealership car that was sent to a local big name body shop that usually specialize in expensive euros and exotics and yet the outcome is only good in pictures and videos. The car actually looks pretty blah in person. If the dealership isn't letting employees drive around this car, posing as the car's owner, then maybe people wouldn't actually feel so negative toward this car. It's just a big billboard.

Besides, there are more Rocket Bunny FR-S popping up in Canada now that are done up way better in terms of color scheme and with proper mods instead of just random CF parts and wrong offset wheels with spacers. This car is no longer special.

Care to share some photos of these other Rocket Bunny FR-S's in Canada ?

There is a grey one in Vancouver Island, One is currently being built in Calgary (Which is also a dealerships car) and words of one out in Ontario so please share with us.

Meehow86 05-01-2013 12:20 PM

Its always sad when I see these and there's no engine shots because its completely stock. If you're going to make your car look like a race car then make it drive like one. That spoiler is super retarded to have on a 200 hp car.
