Anyone notice anything strange about the Ronaele body kit?

Side pipes and rear pipes?

Actually, we used to call side pipes "Lake pipes" or "Lakes' pipes", if my memory serves me well.

You all nailed it at once! The side is exhaust is absolutely fake. I wish they'd at least replace the rear bumper and use turn-downs. That looks rediculous.

Maybe, as in old time street rods, you can switch from one to another?

Wow, looks like just black plastic there, like they just gave up or something.

They're still developing the side-exhaust. I spoke in person to one of the engineers working on the car at the Pinellas County BBQ Fest this past Saturday about it. He said it could be 2 weeks or 2 months, they have a lot of R&D to do on it, but he did say it would be on the car and it would work. So take that for what it's worth

Lakes pipes: Nonfunctional side pipes attached along the lower sides of a vehicle for decorative purposes only. Also called "lake pipes" or "lakers"

Aside from the redundant exhaust, the fitment of the rear spoiler looks poor, particularly on the left side. I like the idea of side pipes, but the rear bumper should be altered to suit.

Lakers, Fakers, whatever they are called... are not going to make it over the first driveway or speed bump. They look really low.

The rest of the car has potential, but there are few things that need to be tightened up.
