it looks real nice from the front and the side, and that paint job gives it a nice "straight from the factory" look, not like some of the rice scoot kitted 7's ive seen.
only problem is that back, it doesnt suit the curves at the front of the car, and i agree, it does look they ripped the back off a merc

the sides look nice.Even if it looks like a cross between a tvr speed 12 and a viper.With a better front end and also a slightly upgraded rear end.Something resembling the fd rear it would look bad ***.Aside from the looks though the performance aspect is very impresive indeed.
Is that thing turbocharged or is naturally aspirated? also if anyone has any other vids of that puppy actually racing id love to see that thing in action.Sounds almost like a motorcycle reving.

I think they did a great job on that project. Granted, the styling is not exactly beautiful, but it looks a lot more refined than most of the widebody FD show cars.

Damn. I think I need a change of underwear now!
We really need to be a bit more connected to our japanese and australian (non-us) counterparts. That was so cool!

i wish they had some better vids though. Like of it driving or on the dyno. something showing the power.
i love the car. it looks different and thats what they are going for. the whole reason why i bought the fd in the first place.

I agree the shifter is ugly, but maybe they made it long so it is closer to the wheel.

Why do you like the dash? Do you have a thing for cheap plastic spray painted silver. Quality stuff

I think the front ruins the angular look (that was going well) in the back. I like the redone door frame and suede on dash. The attention to detail in the engine bay (carbon fiber accents and easily accessed oil filter 
), body molding and shaping, and interior although the silver on the dash/center console looks simply painted (what happened to the craftsmanship & creativity there???!) and the red accents outside of the seats doesn't fit well.
I REALLY like that dark suede/alcantra and silver they have going on in the interior....I wish I knew how to do that...

I wonder if SCOOT will step up to the plate and sell the lights. Yes I know Scoot didnt make them but I know who did, I just think Scoot should handle it.

did anyone else notice the gas cap location? that pretty sweet
also, are those butterfly wing doors? i didnt pay too much attention at first, thinking possibly just scissor/lambo doors, but upon further inspection they look a lot more like butterfly wing doors.
