It's Rocket Bunny style popularized by Kei Miura. The rivets are meant to give it an industrial theme and look. Less polished is the point.

Yeah, but I still think this looks better than the rivets.

To each their own. I like both styles. Depends on the application and the finished result. I love the Rocket Bunny style when executed beautifully (see Liberty Walk JK Platinum 458 Destroyer below). And on the flip side of that, there's beauty and elegance in an expertly molded kit as well.

That's like a freaking batmobile. Looks bad ass.

Yes, custom made.
However... I'm in the process of trying to bring a kit to market based upon my car.
Still evaluating it all, but will probably use this page to track progress and for people to register interest, etc.

A Widebody has two options; race car, or stance car. This car and many, appear to have gotten lost in the middle of that ideal.

He should have muted the front fenders a bit, tied them into the front bumper with canards, and widened the bumper about 1", and blended the fenders into the body with brake ducts. The Rear I actually love the blend from door into quarter, Id have ducted the rear out to an active under diffuser because Race Car.

Stance? I dont know, I'm not really about that life. I guess roll the fenders bruh, get a fat poke, and frame that shit son.

I don't like the RS4 badge kind of kills it for me.

7 months since last post.

Most complaints were about disliking the rivets... 2 months ago they posted this video

It's a version without the rivets. I like it. Gotta love that exhaust note too!

Seen that one a few times in the past. He's in Poland if I recall correctly. I think his car used to be red as well.

No rivets (or even joint lines) on this one ;)

Yeah same red car as the original post in the thread, only they completely redid the kit without rivets, swapped in a 4.2L V8 and painted what looks like Nimbus Grey. The non-rivet version also looks to have better fit and finish than the original, especially around the rear door area.

I think these widebody kits just look unnatural on cars and I have a hard time being attracted to them, but this is the most well executed one I've comer across. Even if it's not one's style, it looks to be well done and deserves a bit of acknowledgment and respect for that.

D'oh, you're right. I completely skipped the first page. I've seen the car on IG in the past.

You can always make your own. I was debating it.
