Looks like it to me. Also, some of the black trim on the bottom of the car has a few gray-ish pixels that look like they didn't get edited out properly.



FWIW I used fotoforensics.com.

As much trash as they pump out, I just can't get myself not to like the widebody kit they make for the FD which was featured in Tokyo Drift. Not that it excuses them for everything else they put out, but I guess even a blind chicken gets seed if it pecks enough.

I know it's blasphemy, but I agree with you. I think that looks pretty badass, tho I do kinda prefer a stock FD. I would post pictures of the veilside mrs, but I'm on my phone and can't be bothered. I think the veilside widebody mrs is what Toyota should have made. Hell I even like the spoiler they use, and I hate spoilers normally.

Screw practicality, best 1 mile commute ever.

As an FD owner, gently caress what they did to the rear hatch. You have little enough visibility as it is.

That's not an oil leak. That's the automatic oil change and chassis protection feature.

You guys are arguing over pixels when you should be looking at how the decal doesn't change shape over the black plastic trim piece that runs the length of the car.

Both the green and gray colors look way too uniform across the car. Especially the green bit at the far rear end of the car, it even looks like it goes "off" the car itself.

I think that truck's structural integrity is unfavourably compared to a K'nex set stuck in a mud puddle.

I'm no cage expert either but that doglegged rear section is probably not a nice bend.

This car looks atrocious. Also, RX-7s look strange with fixed headlights usually, although I like the Super GT versions.

Agreed, I remember when I first saw that kit I was kinda with it because the film was dark but then I saw a shot of the back of it. No.



I still to this day think that this version of the RX7 looks beautiful and current. The RX8 has dated badly a lot like the original Audi TT, they both look loving awful these days.

*edit: more photos
