Are these realistic enough?

Most people decide to buy a 'proper radio control car because of the body is comes with. Nowadays, its usually a Subaru Impreza, or a Mercedes CLK-DTM which appeals to a newcomer.
However, they are a newcomer, and as a result, they bash that body up until its fit for the knacker's yard while learning to drive.

They decide a new body is needed and go to they local model shop to buy a new one. The only problem is that the shop is run by racers, for racers and only stock proper racing bodies. They seldom look like the real thing, and the beginner doen't know what they are looking at, never mind decide wether they want it!

The point I'm trying to say is, do you think these racing bodies are realistic enough?

I have some blank templetes I use to see if the design for my racing bodies is good enough. I have covered the grille up, and I want you to guess what car you are looking at.
I'll post another one when someone correctly guesses it.

Heres the first one, what is it?

Not made up, and not Japanese.

BTW, its a body which most R/C racers use, but have never seen a real one before!
