Vs. the FR-S, which is too rounded and lacks edges for the straight-across lines to work with:


Perhaps if they brought the gray color up to the beltline of the car, and had it flow just underneath the fender garnish up front and line up with the tail light in back, I might, might like it more? Or maybe it's just the oversized wheels that just aren't achieving the "retro" look in my eyes.

Either way, respect to 5AD for putting in the work to make something different. I think it could stand to have some tweaking but it's an interesting concept nonetheless!
I think this TRD replica kit does the frs's lines more justice when it comes to two tone. I wonder how it would look on the original body panels with the same color though...
