Dont like it. The door handles look stupid and the front and rear fenders look like they came off a Carrera GT

some of it looks quite nice, but the recessed fuel door and door handles are unattractive, especially next to each other along the side.

How can anyone think that those handles look ok?

Looks like the handles are close to stock position and they've moulded the doors around them.

It is different from the other offerings that are available, but I just can't get a warm, fuzzy feeling over it.

Does the price include right-hand drive conversion? The yellow one looks to be RHD with filler on the right.

Not too keen on the fender skirts in the rear. Looks like it needs wider rims.

Looks like one of those overly chunky chicks wearing skin tight leggings in Walmart. Lumps in all the wrong places
