Kind of... Rocket Bunny is brand, not a style though. I'm sure Miura enjoys everyone using his branding to refer to all the over fender kits though. Lol

haha thank you, unfortunately I didn't get everything completed this weekend but here's another picture of it parked with the splitters on, looks much more complete and flows with the splitters back on.

Vision is good...and so is my taste meter.
I have no problem with mods. No problem with wide bodies. But the work should be clean and tasteful. Not something that looks like it was put on with a stapler.

I didn't intend to get deep but you questioned my comment with a dig. A simple question to explain my comment would have provided a benign reply. Now I have to let the cat out of the bag. This does not look good and does not deserve a "to each his own" comment because it just doesn't look good.
Reminds me of the Frankenstein movie. Dr. Frankenstein created his monster with parts from dead people. Some didn't fit right and they looked tacked on. You saw seams and rivets and plugs. No one thinks the monster was handsome. No one. Confused why anyone thinks this Rocket Bunny stuff looks good.
I see seams and rivets with a grotesque addition of metal. Don't get it.

But there is different tastes and that's what makes modding do interesting. I try to see the good side even if its not my taste. I just can't see any good side of this stuff.

Same with the guy who does similar stuff to Porsche 911's. That stuff does nothing for the car.

To each their own, Ice350. I can see both sides. Looks sick to me. I do think it needs a Wald spoiler, wing or ducktail to finish off the aggressiveness flow. What do you think RVCAis250?

So if it's not tasteful to YOU, its wrong ?
if YOU don't think its clean, its ugly ?

You're build must be epic/one of a kind and liked/agreed by EVERYONE huh..
Would love for you to share yours with the rest of the community.

I don't see whats your "fuss" is about in regards to others' "fuss" on this build.

then again what do I know.. my car is pretty stock..

Whoa there, killer. He's entitled to his opinion, which I actually share the same sentiment. I do however give rvca props for stepping out of the box. The majority of the modded cars here are looking more and more alike these days.

This is the internet and a public forum. There will always be some negative feedback and one should be prepared to receive it. We're all adults here, let's act like one and keep the personal attacks to ourselves.

I feel the exactly the same. However, if you've been following this thread, it started by Ice350's comment.

People were giving RVCA props (as you did), which he called it a "fuss".
you should be telling HIM that people have right to voice their (positive) opinion here.

If he just replied to this thread by expressing his opposing opinion on the build instead of implying all the people who liked RVCA's build "not tasteful", I would have never said anything.
