Instead of a "shark", it looks like a "flounder."

The interior is NICE. I've seen that rear bumper and believe it is a kit piece. The headlights are FUNKY. I wonder if they rotate up? Would have looked better if they were frenched into the corners of the fenders Baldwin/Motion style. No excuse for hitting animals running out from the side of the road. /:\

Looks like something that Crocodile Dundee would want. Is there a place to put his "knife"?

Argh...!

The only really cool non-vette headlight mod I've seen so far is the one where I believe celica headlights were installed. And those were installen parallel with the body lines, not opposite

Totally. Looks like the ones where the headlights point outward or upwards, not naturally straight.
The rear bumper looks nice glassed onto the body, but the exhaust looks out of place. They stick out too far and are turned up to much. Kind of like the headlights.
The croc interior looks well done, not my style but to each his own. I like the lunch container option on the arm rest.

Making things different just to be different.

There's no accounting for some people's tastes.
