the cars made for these movies are total crap. The only nice cars are the ones that people build themselves and they come into the movie as extras. I've seen the XXX car and both 2F2F cars in person and the worksmanship is complete crap. The sides are the cars wave at you and there is so much orange peel it makes you crave a smoothie.
i dunno, i know the guy who owns Auto Indulgence which did all their vinyl work. i saw the green eclipse in person just after the movie came out. it was for sale. i dont remember how much but it wasnt cheap. it was a damn nice car and actually had all the visible stuff done to it that they showed in the movie. i remember the orange supra was on ebay and sold for somewhere around $60k or so(?). i remember reading that for F&FII they hired some well known guys to design the cars and choose which mods to put on them. so yeah, they were actually built like what they appeared to be (at least visually anyways). im wondering if the four or five cars sitting over here at Universal Studios are even the real ones from the movie or just replicas and there are other ones making their rounds around the country at shows and what not. that could explain the less than stellar paint job. not to mention that with being dragged around the country and allowing people to walk right up to them its highly likely the cars will get damaged and possibly need some re-paint work.
but in the end...who knows, who cares?? everyone likes different sh*t. some guys here loved slammed trucks while others think that's retarded and love raised trucks instead. some love nascar some love drifting. all i know is they wouldnt be making a part III if there wasnt a HUGE target audience for that type of automotive enthusiasm. and that's what we all are right? automotive enthusiast?? be mature guys and respect other people's personal tastes, even if they are gay. j/k. one thing we can ALL agree on though, the acting and dialogue in both movies was although personally i though Tyrese's lines and acting was hilarious and Eva Mendes....
