All 3 are unique and exceptional, but my favorite goes to Daniel Song's car. It looks so sinister and is an inspiration to me.

Really?

LED strips on the third one? lol.

They all look pretty bad imho.

#1 to much cf.

#2 has to many stickers :|

#3 is most likely the best, but that LED strip on the front ruined it imho.

haha.

They had a budget of $15,000 to spend? I'm sorry, but I think the builders of cars 2 and 3 pocketed $5k of that budget... #1 all the way - that is a comprehensive build.

Black one for the win.
Function>Form

Even know it looks sick.

So true.. By looks. But whats under the hood?

CaptainSlow · 10-29-2012, 03:10 PM

Black one...although I'm sure all of that "carbon" is actually vinyl. Like that look the most, though. I mean...wooden steering wheel? Cheap-looking LED trim?

I would be interested to know if that hood is functional (suspect it's not)...it's ugly, but that would be one hell of a ram-air setup.

IMO What a waste of three nice cars and $45K.

Anyone notice the first one (Song's) has "warp speed" and "lasers" installed?
Not to mention a road rage cuss-out option.

All helpfully located next to the push start button.

To me the Evasive Motorsports car is better than any of those but if I had to choose one I'd choose #1. It's great as a function over form car, but then it has an air ride suspension...

jedichimp · 10-29-2012, 03:23 PM

Damn, voted for the wrong car. Aside from the blacked out headlights Daniel's blue FR-S is best.

Crappy studio photos for all of them though, sad to see.

Just curious ... what makes them crappy photos? Lighting? Backdrop? They look pretty decent to me... give us more info.

cjdriiiiift · 10-29-2012, 03:49 PM

these stickers are dangerous and inconvenient, but i do love these companies....

Spaceywilly · 10-29-2012, 03:54 PM

Where's the evasive one... puts these to shame

DuMa · 10-29-2012, 04:33 PM
