Not a fan of it in the least bit. It's either pop-ups or sleeks for me (front wise).
I guess that's an alright price if it includes the importation costs like that... something like $20,000+ USD?

That's really clean though, it flows with the rest of the car well. I'm guessing there's a kit over in Japan for this front-end conversion.

Quality work, but it's just not appealing to me.

Here it is Turbo Mag I remember it because I read the artical twice for ideas

I don't personally care for them, but the design is supposed to be a throwback to the original Mazda Cosmo:

Yep, that's an RE Amemiya kit. Can't say that i like it either, but i LOVE the company and their projects so i can't really complain that much. Def. unique though, which is something that i do admire.

It's really what the owner of the vehicle likes that really matters.

I'd bet it's not a Cosmo 110S... they are very very rare and only a handful were imported to the USA.

If it is a real one... give me a call. lol seriously
