I'm waiting for people to realize they can paint CF and under all that paint, its still CF!

My only complaint is that the weaving pattern on the interior CF is HUGE to look at.

I'm sure it's all functional schmunctional, but goddamn I could play checkers on the steering wheel.

BTW didn't this car come with the CF wheels at one point too?

I like the way unpainted carbon fiber looks, and if you are going to spend the money you might as well show it off.

Regardless, I suspect this car is pretty stupid. Without having any information about it I am just guessing, but they probably could have saved more weight by getting rid of the power seats, power windows, power mirrors, navigation, and AC if the car has it.

Meh. They took one of the best looking cars on the planet, and def one of the best GT cars on the planet and made it look silly imo.

Paint it.

It looks tacky as it is.

The only good shot is the first pic, the frontal.
The rest are gaudy.

BTW, if you are going to waste the money to make the body out of CF, saving maybe 1-200lbs over aluminum(If that much is saved), then strip out all the luxury shit, give me cloth race buckets, 5pt harnesses, and no AC, radio, etc.
Give me a 3000lb Aston.

Proof that money ≠ good taste - looks like what would happen if a ricer-civic punk hit the lottery, IMO (beautiful base car, though).

And the grille makes it look like it needs braces. BAD. :lol:

:shrug: I love it, I think its a beautiful piece to look at. It looks like its built for beauty and comfort, not street racing. Painting it would be tackier than showing off its CF finish.

The weave is too big and instead of paint, throw some tint in the clear coat or candy coat it.

too much CF IMO. it needs more sheetmetal or something other than CF over everything.

bet its light as hell though.

That would look nice. Tint it just enough that from a short distance someone might think "is the carbon fiber?" Then upon closer inspection, drool all over the tinted finish.

i like it, but why does a front-engined car need a roof scoop? :?:

I'm interested in finding a vehicle that screams, "I have no money and a tiny penis."

I need a new car.

I agree; I think it's spectacular.

If you find one that fits that bill, let me know.
I'll be buying one too. My truck could probably stand to be replaced soon.:lol:

Nice panel gap :doh:

I agree, makes one of the most attractive cars in production look tacky, and a little dizzying to boot.

Looking at the engine compartment, I wonder if the whole thing is actually solid CF, or if they've actually skinned the car in CF. I have my doubts about the structure in there.
