Major Body mods- is this even an FC?

It isn't my cup of tea, but somebody spent a lot of time on this. Aside from the hood, I can't even tell it is an FC any more.

It does look like the builder is using some Nagare styling cues, though.

He should be hanged, shot, stabbed, poisoned, clubbed, stoned and then drowned.

i don't know, you would think a car that looks like that would be hidden in a garage to keep from embarrassing yourself

The owner of that car tries to talk to me from time to time. I keep telling him he's an ******* for doing that to a 'vert. I remember when that car was 100% bone stock.

Could it be the Lamborghini bulls on the front and rear?

I was just about to post this same site, but amhorach beat me to it.
I saw the car on Jalopnik, and my brain went into catatonic shock. I had to stare at it in dumbstruck awe for half an hour before my brain ground back into gear. Poor, poor 'vert.

I'm with g14novak. How short is the owner, fer crying out loud? I'm 6'2", and I'm looking for a way to lower the seat so I can sit upright...

hahah ^ true that , im 6'0" as well and seeing that vert chopped that low, ****, must be Gary coleman driving that..

but seriously wtf is up with that owner, im all for ppl fixing up there cars, to make them look NIICE, but that was just crap.

waste of a good car. and $$$$

i wonder if the shop who did the work laughed when they ripped that guy off for the crappy looking car, or were they extremely proud they butchered a great car.

my 2 cents.
