Do one of these then!

:lol: J/K

Seriously though; even though it looks nicer and performs beautifully, you're driving something more reliable, you CAN tune it to have more flare (if that's what you want), there is a lot more rear legroom, less demanding on gas and doesn't need a special toggle switch to move the seat forward for the rear seat passengers, and FINALLY NOT dealing with that fxcking mess of a UI known as the iDrive (the i and D is for idiotic Design)... Although I won't mind having a V8 mated to a 6-speed manual either (or V10 for the M).

I'll be doing up some drawings for new fender work this Summer... gonna save up for some custom work to fix the design problem and get the beast repainted.

I'll share my ideas once I've got them developed. :up:

I had to laugh at that youtube video. My fave part of that was close to the end when they try to do a head on collision and an old lady is walking past the car with a shopping cart. LOL Thanks NeFaRiOuS_SLE for that laugh.

One of the things on this car that i dont understand is that long crease that goes from the headlights to above the rear lights and down to the rear bumper. The tailights already suggests the eye to move down but the crease puts more emphasis on that downward slope causing it to look like an obese mosquito... Fender flares wouldnt hurt either.. who designed this car anyways??

what if someone did a widebody custom kit on their Gen 2? I never seen it.

yea I think the rear end could be a little wider because from some angle the body looks really square like a 04 Camry yet it has some curves.
