Ahh... the age old 'top chop' dilemma... Go big and make sure everyone knows you have done something, or go subtle and make it look right. I think we know which way this one went

Just lowering the car a bit makes it look a lot better.

You guys are just sooo hard on this car, don't you see what he was going for? It's just not done yet, the big *** blower sticking out of the hood, and a HUGE long throw hurst shifter sticking out of the roof, then add Rat Fink with his eyes bugging out and tongue wagging in the breeze and ohh, oh yeah and a set of Zooomies sticking out the side just breathing fire! (wicked burnout implied)

Now it looks perfect, am I right?

I like it (minus the wheels/ride height). Slam it as others have said. Make the roof one piece and have it tilt to the rear on struts when you open a door and that thing would be cool.
