    Default A $45K Audi R8 look alike!

    Damn, this has gotta be the hottest Audi TT around. The R8 styling looks amazing!








    I would re-paint it a darker color though.. that white looks a bit too bland for my tastes. A black/silver with CF blades and R8 wheels would look stunning IMO.

    Hmm.. final set of pics for the sake of comparison:
















    In retrospect, it does look a bit weird in parts. But I still think it looks much better than a stock TT.

    I think the conversion kit looks dope.

    Better wheels and darker color, it'll turn out nicely. Can someone do a chop?

    If the "real deal" were available at the same price point ($50k or thereabouts), I'd snap one up right now.
    This is sorta like a baller on a budget..

    It's not really an R8 clone IMHO. It's not like someone took the actual R8 headlights and taillights and molded them into a TT. To me, this is more like using the R8's design language and feel to improve upon the TT (and yes, I said improve.. I think that TT is SICK). It's like the BMW 5 series and 3 series. They do look similiar, and there's no mistaking them both for BMW's, but upon a closer look, they each have very defining characteristics.

    Personally, I think Audi should adopt that styling to create their new design image... that TT is gorgeous, and I think if they looked like that out of the factory, there would be nary a complaint from the public. It's no R8 clone, because it doesn't look exactly like an R8... it's just similiar.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    For some reason it looks a little too stubby for me, but it's not bad at all. The back is especially handsome.

    No way, the TT looks better than the R8 anyway. Why ruin it?

    i saw a real r8 today, it was soooo evil lookin man i was just cruising and it came on the other side of the road towards me and it had this line of led dots in the headlights and it was flat black with carbon on the little spot behind the doors. It caught my eye cuz every other car on the road was and shiny, the sun was out and then you see this absence of light moving with an unmistakable noise behind it. i nutted immediatley
    I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.
