Ecomodder influence on Robocop? (Large Images)
 

Anyone else notice how many cars in the new Robocop movie had wheel covers and skirts? Designed by an ecomodder fan?

I'd buy THAT for a dollar!

Now, if only those articulated front wheel covers came on production cars... :D :D :D

When fuel is still too cheap, anything more aerodynamic than a brick will look futuristic.

Isn't this the police car of the future?

After all, the original movie used the Ford Taurus.

Not to spoil the 'eco' thought, but I think those are probably more likely *bullet* covers than *aero* covers.

Those are some great looking aeromods. I wonder if they would ever sell anything like that.

Maybe they couldnt get an automotive sponsor so they did their best to blur the obvious design features that tells the make and model?

Two-for-one, right? I replaced the ceramic plates in my body armor with coroplast ages ago!

[I would get in so much trouble for that! Especially if I were shot!]
