When are some people going to understand proper aesthetic design?

That body kit has absolutely nothing to do with the lines of the car. It's horrific.

That's one wicked looking FD! Looks like a cross between a McLaren and the Batmobile!

it looks ok, some of it is over the top. But it does look like its just way too show for me. And some would say it looks ricey.

I'm not a violent man usually, but the molester of that FD should be beaten.

It's a bit too extreme. The concept ain't that bad though. If only its straight and sharp edges were smoother and dulled, it would really loook nice. Kinda like the spoiler though.

I don't like it...too extreme. The side views remind me of a new Ford Mustang GT sorta.

Well, while that is a nicely done project....it definitely isn't for me.

I think the lines of FD are just perfect the way they are.
I really don't even like a rear wing of any sort, personally.

I'd be afraid to drive it, it's definitely a show car....
(Especially with some of these angry rotorhead around here )

I think it's one of the better integrated widebody kits around, I've never liked the Pettit Rivet Wheel Well Extenders, I didn't like the AE kit that has openings where they couldn't blend the body back into the fender.. this seems to make an effort to make the vents seem meaningfull, and does a descent job of re-integrating into the rear fender...
I do agee that it's very "Saleen Mustang - Like" and disrupts the lines of the FD pretty drastically, but if you have 10K to throw at paint and body work, why not ?? I don't know about you but I don't have that kind of budget, and I'd immagine this kit would go the route of the Veilside Kit Eventually....

Thumbs down

Anybody else think it looks like an oversized and overdone Elise? Everytime I look at that "Anubis" creation, that's the feeling that I get (and it's not feelin' that good either). Little weee too much for me...

Something different is always nice to see, as long as it's not my car. Ugly or not think of the man hours put into it...

Meh, I can appreciate the work that went into it. But I don't appreciate the way it looks.
