Looks good Sebastian. Unique and different.... but cool

Of course, I liked your car back when I saw it at Its Your Move 2013, when you had your other wheels. It looks good either way, whatever fits your style bro.

I honestly appreciate everyone's opinion and feedback. I feel like we say it all the time, but with a RocketBunny kit it truly is a love or hate relationship. Either you live the bolt on look that RocketBunny/Liberty Walk offers or you think it disrupts with the cars lines and makes it look slapped on. I personally am very impressed with the way it came out and I'm very happy which is all that matters in the end as others have stated.

I appreciated heyarms (Adam's) comment that I made my dream a reality... I've always wanted a RocketBunny kit and I kept on finding excuses of why not to do the conversion. Then I finally pulled the trigger and made it happen.

Others, including myself, that have seen my car don't think any of the pictures I've posted so far do the kit and build any justice because in person it looks much better and flows better too. As I finish up the car and get some photoshoots in, you'll see better pictures and may change your mind but if you don't like the kit it's fine by me. I don't mind the positive&negative comments. So comment on.
well said

did you get a daily then? do you still go to the same shop in SD?

I love your attitude.
I'll just have to take your word for it that it looks better in person. I know I still wouldn't love it because of the rivets and exposed seams but it could be better than I expect. But your attitude is just marvelous.

Nice build. Glad you're doing something you've always wanted to do, whether or not it fits the traditional mold. I'm sure it'll look much better with a proper set of wheels on too. Have you ever considered color-matching the bolts?

I'm not a fan of this look myself, but I have to take my hat off for a unique and one of a kind build!!

Lets all be honest here, there are only a handful of names in the 2IS game that are GAME CHANGERS (you know who you are), and most of them have moved on to bigger and better things, I think RVCA can easily be one of those names. Keep up the good work!

Nice saw pics on IG, did you just use spacers to push the wheels out?
