Fuzzkill's was just noisy, rather than being outright dangerous as well as flaming hot in the interior with you.

I'm guessing their theory of operation is you fling it down the drag strip as fast as possible so you can kill the engine and stop cooking yourself.

I'm with you. A bit more posh, if you will, like a modern Bently. Hell, imagine how much of a sleeper it would be if it looked original.

Good engine choice but MAN that satin black is ugly on that car. It looks like a plastic model. If that car's going to be black it has to be a piano black so glossy it looks silver.

Also replace those lovely wheels with something more appropriate.

The paintjob seems like it's being let down by what appears to be a combination of cameraphone and JPEG re-re-recompression:



But agreed on those wheels. There's no reason for them to be that big with brakes that tiny.

edit: Of course it's a shop based in Scottsdale.

I'm expecting it to have machine guns and a oil slick deployer on the rear. What a perfect car for Parker to drive when FAB1 is in the shop

I normally hate 95% of the appearance mods on this forum but this totally works.

So many people abuse and misuse the word 'postmodern', but this is postmodern to a T, including the misfitting wheels.

The paintjob on that is like a satin black which looks like utter shite on any car it's on. BMW do ice black and a car at work has it but it just looks like a poorly finished rattle can job from factory. Either it needs to be fully flat or it should have a paintjob befitting of a Rolls and that's the deepest gloss black you can buy, shined to perfection.

Shane Lynch has a drift Rolls with a similar aesthetic and it looks like poo poo.



The interior is the complete opposite of the exterior.

But what if you could control the gradient and how far down it goes? Would be kinda nice to be able to replace traditional sun visors with something that actually works. I'm sure it would also be hella expensive.

generally they don't need electricity to run, just to transition from one opacity to a different one
