That looks kind of cool. If it wasn't so pointy in the front, but cool nonetheless.

Yeah the black one is photoshopped, just look at the bottom edge of the door it doesnt have that upward swing of an FD. There are too many lines of an RX8 there for it to be a true conversion.
I can say that if it was a true conversion that you could sign me up for one because that thing is hot as hell!!

I think its ugly as fock. Those fenders bulge out so much that it unbalances the lines of the rest of the car.

The one thing I love about 90s Japanese sports cars were the long sloping hoods and wedge shapes. Ever since car manufacturers had to take into consideration how to make their cars more pedestrian safe (in regards to accidents), front ends of cars have been getting more and more blocky in the front. Case in point are designs like the new EVO X design.

Now why would you want to put such a blocky front end on such a svelte sexy car? It's like having a girl with a hot body and a disproportionately huge mandible.
