Not too bad.....

Normally I am not a fan of people changing the appearance of an automobile. 99% of the time I find they butcher it when they add crazy spoilers, swap the headlights, and add skirts.

I came across this one on kijiji, and while I know it is not for everyone, I think it is attractive.

Yes, I understand it doesn't have a rotary engine. I am referring to just the appearance.

Saw that one. I wonder if its based on a kit, or is it all custom fibreglass? Looks a bit like a Vette, and bit like a 240Z.

I see, viper/miata combo (viper-esque air dam but miata style lights), the c5 'vette tail lamps, and totally understand the widebody 240z look on the rear three quarters, at that one angle.

I'd have to assume it's all custom work if he's asking 22.5.

Viper front end and a corvette rear? Personal taste and the artistic side of me says this is hideous lol

Wonder what it weighs? All that fibreglass can't be light.

Depends on the resin used on how much it weighs. Could be less than stock if it was done well, or it could be titanic in fatness.

The Vette rear looks kinda cool, but the Viper inspired front looks more like a Neon since it's obviously narrower.

I think the designer has talent.
It looks nice...but it's not my style.
