Seems like a bit to much. Over flashy. Well hell it is a show car. I don't see a point in building a car to a level where you are afraid to drive it cause you might get some dirty air on you're front bumper. Cars are ment to be driven and driven harder with mods. Just my thoughts. But I won't hate. It is damn hot looking, and I kinda like the Do Luck rear wing.

Steering-wheel digital displays have been around a little while, too....but not in street cars. It is primarily a Formula 1 feature.

Thumbs up

Granted there is TONS of excellent work that went into it, but it is still butt ugly IMO. I dont see why people make fun of hondas with body kits but like them on ''higher class'' cars. It may be because they have more power, but 90% of them, IMO, are still ugly. If a 5xx HP Civic had a body kit and big wheels would it still be considered a ricer. (I have a specific one in my mind from www.teamrice.org, has since upped the HP)

Anyways, back on this car. I think I would get a headache looking at all of those guages and trying to remember where and what everything is. Not a fan of some of the body lines on the wide body, dont like the design of the rear bumper/diffuser. Dont like the front bumper. That style of wing on certain cars is starting to grow on me. Like the wheels. Dont like the front bumper. Like the older style Impreza's better.

Overall I dont like the exterior, like the interior, and like the engine

I think the interior would be a little better if he had a normal steering wheel and replaced the factory guage cluster with a stack cluster.

Damn, that is an awsome bodykit. Its a straight up race car. Love that steering wheel. Not loving that rear wing. That is also hideous.
