Most of us seem to dislike one or more aspects of the car. Add the sum of all the dislike of those parts up and the answer is the whole damn car is fuoked up. Yet people are bidding big $$$ for a car that will likely have serious problems later.

Using that logic, you could pick any aspect of anything that has ever existed and find at least one person who didn't like, that doesn't mean everything that has ever existed it fuoked up. The car itself isn't that bad. Carbon fiber often looks black in pictures which doesn't do it justice. The only part that really needs to be painted white is the front bumper cover because it isn't symmetrical with the rear bumper that's still white.

This looks like a purpose built track car, so who cares what it looks like in the first place? How it drives is what matters.

unpainted carbon fiber only looks good on black cars.

that's what i was thinking.

OP, if you're asking if he could've done worse, definitely. if he paints the sides of the car and takes away the yellow tint from the lights, he's got a good looking car.

Also, Googer, I agree with Pariah. Using your logic, find me a PC or console game that you're willing to play.
 
Remove the German stripes and get clear headlights and it'll be good. I like black wheels with polished lips. They seem to be the popular choice these days.

Not my taste, but he can drive whatever he likes.

EDIT: Airbag light is stuck on. Warning sign.

warning that unless you are an idiot you will realize the replacement steering wheel has none.

most will pull that light out though.

I don't care for unpainted carbon fiber. Usually looks better in person though.

Outside of that the car looks well done.
 
For a track day car it's absolutely awesome in its functionality.

For the street it's pretty ugly. If he tracks it and prioritizes that over pure beauty on the street then I agree with it.

Are there side airbags in the OEM seats? Probably what tripped it, since it has aftermarket seats.

No, they're in the door and front pillars. I think it's the replacement steering Wheel, but still, if a job's worth doing and all that...

Why do you have to be an aggressive troll 100% of the time you post in this forum? post something useful for once.
 
I don't know, if he replaces those red seats with with black ones, and paints the white parts with gun metal black, I might like it 🙂
