i noticed it wasnt yours as well, but it does look awfully similar and actually had me thinking that all that hard work went down the tubes..

The "vents" in the top of the front bumper are excessive, so is the extra carbon fiber at the back of the side skirts. The wheels don't really flow either...still A for effort though - must've been a painful process.

Thumbs up

I dig it! But you need to give some credit to VeilSide after all there is still some similarity and you need to get a better camera.

Nice, dont sweat the haters, their are many on this site . .

they are afraid of anything different, instead of appreciating the differences. I dont like everything to be the same, its too boring that way.

Your pix are tight too.

I forget what song, but its one of those ones about driving thats overplayed. and no its not "low rider".

If you plan on showing it, then ... great. I cant imagine what the color must look like in person. I know how Phantom blue looks in person and NONE of the color comes through in photographs. You see a blueness, but you miss all the green and purple... Based on your description of that one i would be very curious to see it in person on a sunny day.

Hey kids! Do you like violence? (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids? (Uh-huh!)
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? (Yeah yeah!)
Try 'cid and get fucked up worse then my life is? (Huh?)
My brain's dead weight, I'm tryin to get my head straight
but I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate (Ummmm..)
And Dr. Dre said, "Slim Shady you a basehead!"
Uh-uhhh! "So why's your face red? Man you wasted!"
Well since age twelve, I've felt like I'm someone else
Cause I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt
Got pissed off and ripped Pamela Lee's **** off
And smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes backwards like Kris Kross
I smoke a fat pound of grass and fall on my ***
faster than the fat bitch who sat down too fast
C'mere ****! (Shady, wait a minute, that's my girl, dog!)
I don't give a ****, God sent me to **** the world off!

My English teacher wanted TO flunk ME IN JUNIOR HIGH
THANKS ALONT NEXT SEMESTER I WILL BE 35
I smacked him in his face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler
Stapled his nuts to a stack of paper,
Walked in the strip club, had my jacket zipped up
Flashed the bartender, and stuck my dick in the tip cup
Extraterrestrial, running over pedestrians,

raping lesbians, while there screaming at me "lets just be friends!"
Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to
I just found out my mom does more dope than I do
I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper
Make a record about doin' drugs and name it after her (Oh thank you!)
You know you blew up when the women rush the stands
and try to touch your hands like some screamin Usher fans (Aaahhhhhh!)
This guy at White Castle asked for my autograph
(Dude, can I get your autograph?)
So I signed it: 'Dear Dave, thanks for the support, *******!'

Hi! My name is.. (huh?) My name is.. (who?)

Dr. Dre, don't just stand there, OPERATE!
I'm not ready to leave, it's too scary to die
I'll have to be carried inside the cemetery and buried alive
Am I comin or goin? I can barely decide
I just drank a fifth of vodka -- dare me to drive? (Go ahead)
All my life I was very deprived
I ain't had a woman in years, and my palms are too hairy to hide
(Whoops!) Clothes ripped like the Incredible Hulk (riiip)
I spit when I talk,(hachhh-too) I'll **** anything that walks (C'mere)
When I was little I used to get so hungry I would throw fits
HOW YOU GONNA BREAST FEED ME MOM? (WAH!)
YOU AIN'T GOT NO ****! (WAHHH!)
I lay awake and strap myself in the bed
with a bulletproof vest on and shoot myself in the head (BANG!)
I'm steamin mad (Grrrrr!)
And by the way when you see my dad? (Yeah?)
Tell him I slit his throat in this dream I had!

Hi! My name is.. (what?) My name is.. (who?)
My name is.. Slim Shady
Hi! My name is.. (huh?) My name is.. (what?)
My name is.. Slim Shady

Hi! My name is.. (who?) My name is.. (huh?)
My name is.. Slim Shady
Hi! My name is.. (huh?) My name is.. (who?)
My name is.. Slim Shady

WOW it looks great!....2 things though.

1. how much lighter is it?

2. you should paint the door handles of the free style doors orange.


other than that, your rx8 is perfect!

nicely done.
I like it when he had the white black scheme, however **** thing is sexy, i dunno about the orange, odd, the hood is super sexy, i wonder what veilside thought. Me too the more i look the more i like it, if i owned hotwheels i would make a replica scale model

The Haters = with no money wishing they could spend that much on a car. Jealous! they would do something else but what they think is cool, could be even stupider.

Sick car but I would have done a few things differently but that's just me..
Full Race to start off and a 1" woofer!

But that's just me but hey anything is better than yellow, any specs on engine/suspension ? The only yellow I like is towndrunk because its a nice ms, and bumblebees because of the paint scheme.
