It looks like they were going for a koenigsegg look for the body... the dash, ummm, hmmm... I'll give it an A for effort but a F for everything else.

Well thats not true, they could have molded a big NOS bottle in the dash... I have no idea why someone would pay that kinda money for something like that... Hideous.

well you've only been here a month longer then him so what does that make you? Calling NOS is the same as nitrous, nawz, nitro, and any other name you wanna give it. only diff is is nos is easier and quicker to type. So try not to be so ****.

As for the dash, it is quite ugly but no where near as ugly as the body.

You realize thats why I said that? "NOS" = fast and the furious fans dream! Kinda like that tacky over done dash...

But maybe your just being sarcastic, damn internet emotions are always hard to understand lol.

And NOS = Nitrous oxide systems, a brand of nitrous. Just the ricer name brand, since we all saw it in fast and the furious... haha Damn that movie has to ruin everything...

Cool. I was just being sarcastic...and Im glad you know "NOS" is just a name brand. But I love when ricers say they have "NOS" when its really just Nitrous!

I guess we better start pointing out people who say Kleenex or Xerox or Band-Aid too

That dash about made me vomit. It'd be cool if somebody made a replacement dash that *didn't* suck

holy ******* ****, both the dash and the car as about as ugly as they could possibly be. The car looks like the batmobile on a bunch of heroin and the dash... seriously I just have no idea what to say about that. Like everyone else said, would be nice to see someone make a replacement that fit the style of the car... doubt that'll happen.
