Default Rocket Bunny GS300?

Has anybody been able to turn a sedan into a rockdt bunny style ride? I am debating between a typical kit or a rocket bunny look for my gs300.

I have a example of a sedan running a Rocket Bunny custom kit. I think it looks great.

I have seen the that thread, the flares are not right. He tried but missed some of the details of getting the rocket bunny style of kit.

I agree. I love his dedication, but I don't think that the kit flows well with the lines of the car.

I think it can easily be fixed to flow better with the lines of his car. I am interested in maybe doing this to my 2 gen gs. Everyone does the VIP look and I think the car can fit in other styles too.

This is what I would do with the rear of the car

Another sedan but I think this is a front fender rocket bunny style with rear Liberty Walk style fenders

If executed right it will look good. With nothing more than intake header and exhaust, it would be silly. If you want your heavy sedan to look like a track car, make the power to back it up. I personally would like to see a rocket bunny style build, done correctly of course

I have a build thread for my R154 mated to a 2jz-gte vvti. The reason I have been thinking of this is to modify the exterior as well as the power of the car.
