Thats not the worst that I have seen. I wonder though what it looks like with the hood closed. I bet of you put some tasteful flares on the back wheels and took off those hideous covers it wouldnt look to bad... At least its painted nice

A lot of work to make this thing but dang...those rear covers have got to go! Looks like something you find in the "Accessories" isle at Autozone.

The skirts do look a bit photoshopped; not reflecting surroundings like the rest of the car.

Don't care for the running boards, but awesome paint!
