I'm waiting for people to realize they can paint CF and under all that paint, its still CF!

My only complaint is that the weaving pattern on the interior CF is HUGE to look at.

I'm sure it's all functional schmunctional, but goddamn I could play checkers on the steering wheel.

BTW didn't this car come with the CF wheels at one point too?

I like the way unpainted carbon fiber looks, and if you are going to spend the money you might as well show it off.

Regardless, I suspect this car is pretty stupid. Without having any information about it I am just guessing, but they probably could have saved more weight by getting rid of the power seats, power windows, power mirrors, navigation, and AC if the car has it.

Meh. They took one of the best looking cars on the planet, and def one of the best GT cars on the planet and made it look silly imo.

Thank you!!!

Paint it.

It looks tacky as it is.

The only good shot is the first pic, the frontal.
The rest are gaudy.

BTW, if you are going to waste the money to make the body out of CF, saving maybe 1-200lbs over aluminum(If that much is saved), then strip out all the luxury shit, give me cloth race buckets, 5pt harnesses, and no AC, radio, etc.
Give me a 3000lb Aston.

Proof that money ≠ good taste - looks like what would happen if a ricer-civic punk hit the lottery, IMO (beautiful base car, though).

This car screams "I have way too much money and a tiny penis".
