It was Vinyl .. CHEAP... Paint looks better up close.. In pictures you can get away with wraping... but if your putting your hands on it.. PAINT IT.

HONESTLY look at SONGs car.. He Wraped it. Used the easiest bolt on parts.. Sure it LOOKS aggressive.. but THATS IT. IF you paid for the work, you got a better product in this car.. Maybe it doesn't look like the Batmobile, but all show and NoGO is for trucks..

I liked the center exhaust, but should have painted that exhaust shroud black or something. It looked very "shop prototype" to me. Also, the paint looks like something you will want to completely change within a year of the weather beating on it. The entire interior concept and execution is just terrible, plain and simple. This car should not have won anything. What they should have done is charge him to put the car back to stock and ask him to please not modify anything ever again.

Looking at the pics of the different FR-S builds my friend sent me from SEMA makes me feel like it was just a waste of a whole lot of nice cars that have been turned into tacky Fast & Furious wannabes.

That's what SEMA brings to the table, again its show with minor practicality. I say that very loosely because they are selling performance parts...but you aren't going to see those cars in that fashion as a daily driver.

If SEMA wasn't about this we might as well not have products for our cars at all. Its like going to CES and being pissed someone built a robot.

I never put Christmas ornaments on my tree. Too blinged out...zzzzz

LOL I can assure you, if there was a robot at CES when I went I would have been much more impressed than I was.

I don't mind a little bling. For instance, chrome or polished parts in the engine bay generally look good to me. As do colored hoses, wire tucks, etc. What I don't like are some of the choices in paint color, bodykits, and wheels I often see on these cars. I have more simple taste, but it's just my opinion. You don't have to have to make cars look this bad to justify automotive aftermarket convention.

lol...companies are there to show their products not to win a trophy. wrong show guys...

jadewbj · 11-02-2012, 02:31 PM

If everything looked clean and simple and understated than nobody would stand out and you would not be able to remember any of the parts or companies that made them.

RRnold · 11-02-2012, 02:33 PM

Nice clean look except for the stretched tire and color choice.

This car needs that rear bumper setup so we can get some good looking single exhausts made.
