    I usually have a problem with body kits since they usually destroy the best parts of a vehicle's body design while accentuating the worst parts. This one doesn't. It looks good. You know it has some body mods, but they aren't overdone. In fact, the changes are pretty cool -- the redone intakes on the front look aggressive but not ridiculously so, the tailpipes are pretty much four-popped-collars cool.

    I like it. This gets the engineerd Seal of Approval (eSoA patent pending).

    Sort of a rolling mound of evil in that first shot.
    They should go ahead and make the rims full diabolical pentagrams, possibly with a tiny devil head in each one. Yeah, I know, it's not a Diablo but there are just too damned few evil icons. Maybe little pitchforks--nah, Maser already has that. See? Out of icons.

    @Novaload Is Just Plain Novaload Again:

    Oh, come on... there are indeed appropriate evil icons for this:

    1.) Four-in-a-row of little conjoined Death Stars.
    2.) Conjoined Sun, Moon, Evil Eye, and Crop Circle.
    3.) A replacement brand graphic of a werewolf, blood dripping from his fangs, saying: "AwoooooOOOOOOdi!"
    4.) A severed Prancing Horse's Head.

    By the way, Ben, it's nice to know the new wheels are new. There's nothing worst than ordering new new wheels and getting some used new wheels instead...

    Hmm I'm not sure if Ben made that headline out of spite or if he just wanted a reason to get coke dealer on the front page of Jalopnik just once.

    Also I refuse to believe it till I see Boba Fett driving it.

    Impressive. Most impressive. OBD-II has taught you well. You have controlled your A/F ratios. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me. Or perhaps the repair bills. Whatev.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Really? That's all you can come up with? You're far wittier than that. Leave the weak comments to us non-starred commenters. After Mr Navarro has been around so much recently emploring for a smarter, wittier, more intelligent discourse on Jalop... well, this falls a bit short. Sorry to be cranky, nothing personal.

    That is, by far, the best looking R8 I've seen to date.

    And it looks so much better with the new logo.
