this has got to be the epitome of rice. the accuracy is just epic

EDIT: just to clear things up, i am very impressed by this i dont think it looks that bad but if anything has ever been Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements this is it

lol its actually not as bad as you make it seem.

it looks real nice, if you just see it rolling down the street it'd be hard to tell.

He did do a fairly decent job with it. Now if it performed like an R8 that would be impressive.

LMFAO! That is so cool! You gotta give it to anyone who can take time and do something like that. If you've never seen a real R8 in real life then that ReplicaR8 can be mistaken for one.

It's actually not a bad job. To be honest, I prefer the rake of the windshield on the fake one. They also tooled the front end to be more aggressive, it's not bad overall.

And let's be honest for a minute. If you could figure out a way to integrate those headlights on your car, you would, in a heartbeat.

I don't see how that's rice, it actually looks really good.

People really use the terms "Epic" and "Rice" too loosely now a days.

I think it looks really good...

Do you think the company that turns the previous gen mustangs into james bond aston martin is a rice factory?

It looks good, its far from rice, I would call it beef.

yummy combination fried rice with broccoli beef.. and all the fixin's. yum.

perhaps "epic".... but far from "rice"
fake? yes indeed... but it was labeled as a "replica" afterall.
