Rocket Bunny Scion FR-S Owner Proves the Trunk Works Despite Huge Wing

Is this really a Rocket Bunny kit? We're too lazy to track it down, but all of them do the same thing. You take a standard Scion FR-S and bulge it out to the point where it draws a crowd everywhere it goes.
There are several companies that offer such packages and some combine it with a massive rear wing. The problem with that is the trunk may not work as it should. That's perfectly fine on a drift car. In fact, most track vehicles have hoods and trunk lids held in place with screws.

Instagram user @thatcosta wanted to prove that his trunk is fully functional, even after installing a huge wing that attaches to the bumper and hovers over the lid like a pack of vultures. The entire thing pivots out of the way.

Somehow, we doubt the wing has been fully bolded down. Otherwise, it would just drop down under the lightest wind. But maybe, just maybe the guys that put together the kit knew what they were doing.

The owner's name is Bryan, and he loves his Scion. 99% of the shots he posts are of the blue widebody coupe, though he occasionally boasts about his girlfriend.

Starting this year, there's not going to be a Scion FR-S anymore. The brand kicked the bucket, so the GT 86 will take its place. Somehow, this makes us love the stanced Smurf even more.

Kei Miura’s Rocket Bunny designs have gained global acclaim for the trend-setting style that drives automotive enthusiasts. However, it's the top quality Japanese-made versions, which GReddy exclusively imports, that have gained the devotion and admiration of racers, car show winners, and their installers. The delicious-looking deeply-concave suit the car to a tee. They are a great choice and explain why the Scion was widened in the first place.


 

Had to make a video for all the people that can't read and ask me the same question everyday since I got the wing. Yes the trunk is still accessible. #blackmagic

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
