*My Friends 1st Gen*

I just thought I would share this with my fellow rotorheads. It's probably not the first but it's the first I've seen and he did it him self so I have to give him props

Why no driving in the rain? There is glass covering the hole.

I think the car is definately unique and pretty cool looking.

Yeah, not my taste but cool and very unique. He should have made the hole in the shape of a rotor! And Karl, when I read twinkletoes' post I said out loud to myself "why no driving in the rain?" without reading your post!

I like it other than the random rotors.

I think I'd like it more in a darker color, I'm planning on getting mine painted in some form of blue.

But overall it is definately different.

The random rotor stickers do bother me too. But the glass is awsome looking. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the glass is shaped as the two rotors like the R1 emblems... I think...

I guess I'm the only one who thinks it's freaking awesome looking in every way/shape/form. *Not dissing anybody, though*. I like the stickers, the glass, the whole thing. Very nice.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's superman! Come on, you gotta admit, it's kind of an odd shape to choose.

Looks well done, not something I'd do, but its not bad.

Reminds me of a window mod done on a computer case.
All it needs now is some random cathode tubes lighting it up

superman? not! u obviously didn't notice the actual shape of the cutout. also, it must not have been enough just posting it in the "pics of your 1st gen" thread. but it's definately original.

Definitely original. I think the one corner of the triangle in the hood that isn't rounded off would drive me insane. If I did ever get over that, then the random rotor stickers would drive me insane.

Any way, its his car, and it definitely looks original enough to be cool in people's eyes.
