I personally would not, but I think it looks cool when done right. I'd say if you want to do it, more power to you. Stock or Rocketbunny, if you enjoy your car, that's all that matters.

Show cars look pretty but they're often not as functional as regular ol' street cars. The way Rocketbunny fenders are completely open on the backside... isn't that going to trash the body with rubber and debris?

I like fun cars but this doesn't look like something you really drive 25k miles a year (without looking like shit or needing serious attention).

Discuss.

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.....
Lol.. The Mrs. can just sit outside listening for your 5" mufflers.
Oh and btw.. The quiet exhaust you recommended is loud! You
All lied to me.. Sounds great, but I think those tiny mufflers are only
For looks. The car sounds meaner than it is now.. Keeps me awake in traffic. I'm young again!
Woohoo..

I'm not that old.. I too have several diecast models of cars I have owned on my desk.. I recently checked for an FRS while I was out the other day.. I'll find one soon.. I have both Gkids on the lookout for me too.. They both like my
Car.. They think its cool.. They like it better than My C6.. They both get to
Ride with me now..
As for your original question.. The rocket bunny thing is too extreme for my tastes and seem very impractical for a DD. I can see it for a show car or as a project garage queen.. IMO.
To each their own..

Personally I think it looks stupid. I like things to look nice but simple. Less is more IMO.
