You don't see nicely done eclipses much if ever. This one makes me grin minus the odd rear aero and side vents even though it's probably functional.

eh not really RRT. They gave him a free alignment and he disappeared afterwards. They were not that happy.

Its a guy that lives in Herndon, nice guy. He bought that aero kit off a guy that built those kits. Those kits were designed by an engineer that does the aero for Super GT crazy cars. It is extremely functional.

Its butt ugly if I didnt know the purpose :lol:

I do have to laugh that two eclipse guys meh on that car. It is gorgeous in a "odd" way.

Lol, that car came into OG a couple of times. Guy was very nice but extremely awkward. I think it took him 45 minutes one time to choose between two pairs of gloves.

Not my taste, but more power to him if it floats his boat.

Balls out acceleration run in a Vemon GT: http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/henne...2012-12-05

Sounds like its about to takeoff, but I'm kind of disappointed by the lack of gigantic fireballs.
