Perfect fitment = perfect line along the body = might as well save that bondo for lesser bodykits with fitment issues.
Of course you can mold it on for aesthetic reasons, but this is why it often isn't molded on. The other reason is that a lot of cars that have this kit actually see competition use (drifting, mostly) and rivet on wide fenders mean simple and easy replacement when damaged in battle. Pretty simple idea.

hmm sooooo... no turbo, stock baby brakes... all show no go. Looks cool and all but IMO kinda lame when it's stock.
Now the VCMC Turbo FRS, that's an FRS I can get behind.

It's spent most of it's life so far sitting in the show room so a turbo won't do it much good at this point. Whereas this car was built with show being primary and go being secondary, the VCMC frs had the opposite purpose in mind.
It is for sale though so hopefully someone can take it, use this as a base and add the performance that it deserves  | |

And I find it very amusing that these cars have a sport mode along with a SNOW mode.

Lol my guess is 40-45k. Base FRS is 31k all in, Rocket Bunny aero is near 5k before shipping and tax, paint and install probably a couple grand, CF hood and mirrors, exhaust, coilovers, wheels and tires.... Plus other shit I'm probably not including

Pretty simple idea. | It doesn't get much more low tech than rivets. To me it's more sacrilegious to put on a high end kit with something as temporary as rivets. I can understand the ease of removal for a drift car, but 1) this isn't a drift car, 2) these panels are relatively small, it's pretty unlikely that you'll damage the kit without fucking up something else as well.

Well that's where you and a lot of people disagree. I love the rivets. Molded fenders are VERY hard to make look good. At least with rivets you're not trying to fool anyone, you're saying "Yeah, I know.. this car has overfenders and I'm not trying to hide it."

the rivets give it a very race car feel. I also like it. it really depends on what you want when building it. sounds like underscore is more into a cleaner show car look, so molding in the kit is more his style.
