Ducks Garden RX-8

This is a kit called Strale from a company called Ducks Garden. I believe it's JDM.

The fit and finish look good and I'm sure lots of work went into it. But IMO it is too kit carish. I prefer to enhance the look of the original car versus making it look like something else.

I'm all about the taillights and the front bumper (minus all the lights and the silver grill insert). I'm still trying to figure out how the headlight/fender thing works. Very Maserati-ish.

Very cool making of on the website...

The kit would look cooler without the Maserati nose, and they could have easily done that.

The light's idea reminds me of the Kabura concept.

I like the tail lights. I'd be interested in seeing how much those go for.

Everything is good, but the treatment on the C-pillar is awful. The faux rear window doesn't work for me.

I definitely like the maserati look with the front... very unique and strays away from rice look of some kits. I cant tell how well the front would look without the fenders... either looks good or complete crap. If it looks like crap, it could make it expensive seeing as the fenders would cost extra for those just looking for a front.

Just noticed that on the parts/price list they mention "eyeline-fender type B"... I'd be interested in seeing what that looks like but cant seem to find a picture on their site... anyone see it somewhere?
