The bodyman obviously has skill - just no taste. Looks like complete ***.
Owner is phail for starting a project like this and then running out of money before it's right.

Problems I personally have with it:
1)Aside from the very first angle, the side fenders near the doors are a terrible design. It just drops off and doesn't have anything to pick it up again.
2) Losing the rear doors is a personal choice. I wouldn't want to do that.
3) The trunk. Considering how much effort went into completely redesigning the other parts, why does it look like some extra fin type things were added on to an otherwise regular 8 trunk? I just dont like the way it looks like an 8 is hiding underneath the rest of the kit from the rear angle.
4) Inability to change the roof shape. Unfortunately, the sharp angles dont mix with the smooth curve of the roof. What makes that unfortunate, is the fact that it isn't something that could/should be changed or messed with. If I focus only on the bottom of the car, it's an alright design. All I can think of to describe why it doesn't work is to tell you to picture trying this kit on a VW bug. See why it doesn't work now? I think a 370z might be able to pull this off better due to a sharper angle in the roof line.

This has to be the best looking kit car version I have scene. One is real, the other is not.

At least the knock off white Lambo has some power behind it. I find it fascinating that there are so many people who do things like this, I saw it all the time when I was over at Miata.net : ) At the end of the day though most are left with the same factory interior.
