I think the guy who dreamed up this beast was.... what do they call those people... a ricer, I believe was the term. He designed it that was so he wouldn't have to spend the extra $3,000 for his fugly Veilside body kit.

The headlights look like they could make something of themselves, but the grill and lower air dam.... make that the whole front bumper, is just hideous...

Anyway, IWHI

It almost looks like it's related to the Hyundai Tiberon (sp?).

He's got some skills, but not as an automotive designer.

yeah IWHI, but it definitely needs a some refinement in the front and rear. It just doesn't seem to flow like it should: there's too much going on in the front, the wrap-around tail lights would be better if they didn't wrap around, and the exhaust need to be either a redesigned shape or needs to be smaller. Overall though, I give the guy lots of credit for the design.

Go figure he HAD to keep the huge ass wing on there.

Lose the wing, and the weak exhaust uh holes, and yes. Depends on the interior though.

But essentially, yes.
