every single thing ac schnitzer makes has looked exactly the same for the last 20 years.........

inFamousKicks · 05-13-2015, 10:12 AM

Aside from the wheels, this is one of the cleanest I've seen yet.

Yep, and its the exact same ugliness. Looks like 2 fast 2 furious is still their source for ideas.

:/ not a fan, love the car just not AC.

avol3xo · 05-13-2015, 10:15 AM

I like it, wheels would be different if it were mine. The wing gives the rear a nice touch as well.

LT · 05-13-2015, 10:18 AM

I actually like the wheels, although I wouldn't choose them specifically. I think overall it looks pretty clean, minus the gratuitous use of "AC shitzer" on virtually every visible surface. Smh

MCarsFan · 05-13-2015, 10:28 AM

Not sure about the wheels but the color IMO looks great..I guess the performance will remain stock and the "conversion" is restricted to the visual enhancements shown? The premium being paid for i8s right now is unbelievable! Fantastic for the dealers..

YWGT3 · 05-13-2015, 10:31 AM

This AC Schnitzer i8 mod includes lowering the front end by 1" as well, as if the front clearance isn't already low enough (have many painful memories of front end scrapes and damages to stock vehicles in the past to even consider this type of mod). Rear spoiler looks way overdone for the i8's clean lines and progressive design (Scnitzer is stuck back in the '80s). Their kit should include a complimentary gold chain for customers.

Gotta love the music and editing

TunedM2C · 05-13-2015, 10:46 AM

How is this company still in existence?

The car was nearly perfect before AC Schnitzer put their hands on it

Not sure it added any value to the looks at all.

Wheels look dated and wing is too small (length wise) for the car in my opinion. Also front splinter is unoriginal.

williesm · 05-13-2015, 12:07 PM

Maybe the wing. And should have carbon fiber wheels

palpatine_us · 05-13-2015, 12:47 PM

Killed it... but not in the good way.

Baron UK · 05-13-2015, 01:06 PM

Might have been interested if it was a power increase and fatter wheels.
But to just do body mods to an already seriously good looking machine

raysspl · 05-13-2015, 01:58 PM

Looks really good! I would rock this!

Prissy · 05-13-2015, 02:11 PM

Looks so much better than stock
