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.
This thread was brought to my attention and it's has just what I expected, a little bit of love, a little bit of hate and that's to be expected with a car like this. It's definitely not to everyone's taste.

However a few things to clear up. At no point has the dealership or the drivers of the car posed as if they were the owner of it. How do I know this? I was the driver for the only meet that the car has ever appeared at. As well, it's a little hypocritical to comment on the mods of this car and then link Taylor's car which in it's current state is essentially identical, just in Asphalt. I know Taylor has big plans for it in the near future in the conversation I've had with him and I can't wait to see what he does next!

Perhaps the car is not special to you and that's entirely fine. However, judging from the reactions of those coming to see the car, I'd say it's still very special to a lot of people.

Yeah not as rare as it was say 3 months ago. I don't know how you guys do it (Looking at Taylor), I know I wouldn't have it in me to cut up the fenders on my brand new car haha.

You know you don't have to post. Especially with comments like this. No reason for it. I have no idea what you were trying to accomplish. The car looks great and there was A LOT of hard work put into it.

Can we get a "F you (enter user name here) for this unuseful post" button?
