^^^That's pretty good^^^ I've seen pics of one like that before, but IIRC it was a Lambo painted on the side of a panel van.

Honestly I don't think the S2K looks bad at all. Looks like HKS's universal exhaust, which is a little better than the chop shop special. The wing actually sets off the car well. The S2K is one of the few cars that can pull something like that off and not look like complete rice.

Alright, I know I'm double posting, but I saw this piece of work on base and thought it deserved some sort of honorable mention here. There's also an RX-8 floating around that's kind of a dark teal in color with a hideous pale green one size doesn't fit all front bumper that I'll try to get a picture of next time I see it. Military bases breed rice like it's going out of style or something.

This one is an old picture I had on my cellphone.
Don't think I've posted this before.
This was taken in Vegas last year during 4th of July.
I believe he has most of the stick on mods from Pep Boys.
This shot was taken while driving. I wish I had the chance to see this car parked and get better shots.

Let me list the stick-ons I saw.

1) Fender Chrome flares x 4
2) Fender Oval Vents x 6 (these are the 3 top ones in the picture)
3) Teardrop looking fender decal x 2
4) Stick-on dual-exhaust tips x 2 (yes, I said stick-on)
5) Flame decals on lower part of back windows x 4
6) Hood scoop on front center of hood x 1
7) Hood scoop on rear center of hood x 1
8) Hood scoops on left and right side of hood x 2

And my personal favorite
9) Sunroof air deflector x 1 (My favorite, because he has no sunroof!)

That's 23 accessories from Pep Boys.
I could get a clear shot of the inside of the car, but he had tons of things hanging in the car too.

It's either a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) unit or the biggest fart cannon in history.

Here's a clearer vid of it firing up: This would be great for dealing with tailgaters.

And here it is at the track. Not as fast as I thought it would be.

The track video is an original Beetle with a jet engine, not the new silver one.

I have to agree w/ RotorMotor. I think its RHD, and quite possibly an authentic GC8. Which means I need an address, ski mask and a silencer for my pistol. What can I say, I love old school STi's........and I pretty much hate everything '06 and up. Especially the wagon. Blasphemy......

The stock CR wing is color matched to the car. So either blue, white, or black.

For your viewing pleasure: Not so bad, only missing it's headlights right? Oh, and the whole back end! Wasn't going onto their property to take a pic of that though

Silver....with orange and green flames

I think these pictures speak for themselves




And this really isn't so bad so maybe it's just personal opinion, but a flag on your car? No.....
