Geesuzz!!! In all due fairness, obviously, a lot of time, money, and, thought went into this custom auto body project. For starters, I will say that I do like the custom interior appointments and features, from the beautiful innovative leather seats, to the custom "Clock" gauges. But, of course, these features are extremely commonplace, and, present in most every, and, any Hot Rod renovation project. Also, the video-audio presentation was a nice touch, and, primarily put forth in an effort to introduce the design in a more compelling manner to reach todays very "visual oriented" public. HOWEVER, in regards to the overall appearance of the exterior body kit, this design is more of an exercise extracted from, and, specifically for, ones own personal individual taste, AND, consequently may lack in the overall mass appeal and design cues required to attract a major consumer market. Nevertheless, to each his own.

The transmission tunnel looks like that of a C4, so does the rear suspension. As for the body, well, its not the worst body kit I've ever seen, the front end really kills it.

It looks well done. The front looks kinda like an Avanti, but smoother. Too smooth, it needs more definition IMO. The rear looks OK and it sounds great.

Not my cup of tea, though.
