R8 wannabe painted second doors=fail in the hardest way. It doe a terrible disgrace to both cars. Plus if your are going to spend/waste, depending on the viewpoint, on that widebody, at least get some damn rims that fit flush. To me it looks like a hack job, but when you start with the car we have, you have to be very careful as to not turn it into rice.

The front needs more love to make it look ferocious, the rear is great but need some kind of wing etc and flush wheels plz.

Kind of hard to tell with it spinning around, but I tried pausing around 0:12-0:14 and it looks really good. Not too many widebody 8s out there.

I agree that the black rear doors look terrible.

I think the wheels look terrible - but I hate all black/dark rims w/ a polished lip. The foolish/silly driving sorta ruined the car for me anyway.

That's not exactly what I would do with my car so it's garbage! Someone set it on fire for me now. What idiot failed to construct a pannel of engineers that stay in touch with me at all times durring the project?? How dare he drive it like that! Or at all w/o my approval? I am going to go get drunk and cry and cut myself.

The doors are kinda weird, but sort of remind me of the Audi r8.

Thank you for the sarcasm, but you also realize the OP was asking for peoples opinions, and that's exactly what he got. You are the fail troll of this thread, now goodbye.

I agree 100%. Bodywork looks good, but not sure about the wheels.

Yeah - pretty much. (shrug). I think my car looks awesome. I think people who do things I don't like don't have a nice-looking car. I think people who use rims i don't like don't have nice-looking rims. That's the beauty of opinion.

Panel. During. F7 rocks. Or, get a world-wide network of computers web browser with built-in spellchecker. :D

i think it looks good minus the doors and needs some wider wheels or a more aggressive offset
