love how it looks; wonder if there's any work on the rear.

i'm not feelin' the aston martin emblem though. It's not an aston. It's got the front of an aston but it's not one.

It looks really good. A helluva lot better than that NSX that turned into a Ferrari.

I guess an aftermarket kit that makes the Miata look a bit more masculine? Love it!

Australian car customizer Custom Automotive Restyling has created a rebodied Mazda MX-5 Miata designed to look like an Aston Martin. Called the AMX-07, the car was created for fitness instructor Michael Lebedev, who won the "Dare to be Different" award at a local tuning show for his Miata. The kit is worth $7,500 in Australian dollars (over $5,000 U.S.).

The kit looks way too big and misplaced on the silver one. The black one looks really good tho.

The AMX-07 looks like it really came out of a real Aston Martin's vagina.
