    it's the car i told AO looks like his drawing.

    i would almost like it. except that it's trying too hard to be an abflug supra. and the nose is FAR too long--with an UNDERBITE to boot. and it's too wide in the front. and the rear diffuser sticks out too much. and the quarter-window diffusers. and the hood. and the indent around the tail-lights. so yes, it's a lot of fail.

    on the other hand though, those rear fenders could be touched up a bit and it wouldn't be half bad. maybe an inch or so narrower and smoothed over. imho, their angle works a bit better with the body lines than cianci's.

    the fronts you just can't widen by more than an inch or so on either side before it looks "forced". that one black stealth with the rolled front fenders is practically perfect. all you'd have to do to "finish" the rolled look is add enough material to cover the sides down to the bottom of the wheel well.

    what you see with this "kit" is that it looks like someone is stretching the "skin" of the car to its breaking point. that's never a good look. the best looking cars are what you get if you took a perfectly formed supermodel, had her lie down (naked) completely relaxed, and tossed a sheet over her--smoothing out the wrinkles of fabric. relaxed, loose, flowing. what you see on this car is as if the sheet is pulled snug, you lose some of the appeal of the form.
