Do you really think I'm going to make that big of a decision based on your guys's poll vote?

Jesus christ what is wrong with this community. It's like, if you can't make a decision don't ask for a opinion, because if you do you're an idiot.

I'm really just trying to see your guys's stance and see what kind of issues might arise that I might've not already thought of.

... and we're supposed to figure this out with a one-word post, "discuss"?

If you had asked that in the first post then perhaps the responses you were soliciting would've been different.

In the case of this kit, it's quite simple: once you add the kit, it is a one-way street. To get rid of the car requires you to:

- Get new fenders/bodywork to put back to stock
- Sell car as-is with the kit
- Destroy car and claim insurance money

It's your car, what I think of the kit is irrelevant to what you want to do. What hasn't been already discussed is most likely not an issue.

If you are gonna make it strictly a track car, then sure, go for it, gut it out too, but if it's gonna be a DD, it is not worth it, you are gonna screw it up.

This community is full of immaturity. That's what's wrong with it. I've grown to hate this forum because of all the members.

Anyways. I love the rocket bunny. I've always wanted it but just don't have the funds to do so. If I could I would.

It does look great in person but it'll irreversably ruin your car and make it terrible to drive at the same time, thus rendering it nearly useless.

Do you think it'll go and turn well with only 200 horsepower while running huge, low offset wheels that bately fit?

Haven't seen a single Rocket Bunny kitted car that's functional, apart from a few hacked up, Frankensteinian drift cars.

If it were me, I wouldn't let anyone do that to my car even if it was a perfect job and it was free ....

Of course, I live in Puyallup, where we still run cows down main street ....

- dis-cuss
talk about (something) with another person or group of people.
"I discussed the matter with my wife"
synonyms: talk over, talk about, talk through, converse about, debate, confer about, deliberate about, chew over, consider, consider the pros and cons of, thrash out; informalkick around, hash out, bat around

If I wanted to say make a decision for me, I would've said that instead of discuss.

I like the way it looks, minus the huge wing. The rims are the best thing on it. Looks clean...But as some of you stated, it wont be a daily driver car anymore. Just a show car.

Yes, yes always widebody when available on a sports car. You can even put fenders on your fenders, so you can widebody while you widebody!

No but really, I feel that the rocket bunny when properly fit and painted looks very classy for such a wild kit. Just avoid the 9000+ lbs of downforce superwing delux.

Add some serious meat on there, and you're halfway to not a bad lookin' sandwich.

hmmmm......are you driving your FR-S .. ??

Well, I do make a tight circle; pharmacy (to pick up my meds); doctors office (to check for a pulse); Jack-in-the-box (for double cheeseburger); Top Foods (groceries for supper).

If I deviate from that route, my life alert goes off, my wife is notified and she sends out a guide dog to lead me home.....

This forum is crazy!

The kit functions as a DD, a show car, or a track car depending the installation and quality of work done when installed.

There's quite a few people out there who daily a rocket bunny v1 and a few who do the v2 as well. People who hate on it for being rice obviously haven't seen one in person, most people say it's the wing but it's optional on all versions of the kit.

I've been debating doing the kit myself and wanted to post on here for opinions and issues people may have had with it but i've noticed almost every owner of a rocket bunny that is a member on this forum doesn't post much and if they do it's rarely regarding their kit. I think it's because they get responses like this which is sad. If you do end up going forward with a rocket bunny build i would love to see a build thread on it, that went step by step.

Honestly if you like the kit enough and have the fund to do it go for it, you'll turn heads everywhere it may not always be because of someone loving the car but it's your car if you love it that's all that matters.
