SEEKER CR-Z - YouTube

No idea if this has been pointed out on a thread somewhere, but I'm not the first to notice that this otherwise killer looking body kit sports a fake center exit exhaust am I?

Just watch the video.

Just noticed, and am disappointed.

Now, there's nothing saying you couldn't utilize the space to make a real one.

Thats stupid. How hard can it be to run the pipes. It ain't right I tell you !!

Thats a jet engine exhaust back there....

J/K
I love the front lip/cf grill but with the fake exhaust...just kills the rear...dont know why you would make a kit with a fake exhaust...talk about feeding into the rice craze.

I want steelies to become popular with the ricers...

That kit is a fail all around, the only thing I liked was the grille. What's up with the wheels? Steelies, really?

B-rad · 12-14-2011, 11:02 AM

Defiantly a fail do they come with steelies in Japan or did they really put those on

What's with the cheap steel wheels and missing hub caps.
Have the real alloy wheels been temporarily removed to prevent theft ?

Talk2meGOOSE · 12-14-2011, 04:24 PM

I bet it's just missing the hub caps because this apparently is a new body kit that must have been in development when this video came out. I imagine taking hubcaps on and off as many times as you had to remove wheels to test fit this during development would become aggravating; so they probably just left them off. I know if I were an aftermarket company, I wouldn't spend the extra money on an EX so I can waste money on more expensive parts I will replace (alloy wheels for instance).

But I had seen this video before and really like the body kit. But noticed that real quick this second time around and was a little let down.

Although, I agree with sleighman and believe either custom making- or further manufacturing a legit center exit pipe would be AWESOME and not that difficult.

I think we can agree that the car in the video needs work, but the kit itself is one of the hottest ones on the market, IMO.
