Ugly is being too kind.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. Headlight design needs something different. Not as grotesque as other custom bodies I've seen n late model chassis.

For a modern retro look, I like it. Would I buy it? Probably not.

At least one person likes it.

That, or they were so far along with it that when they realized how ugly it was, just threw up their hands and decided to finish it so maybe some sucker would buy it.

Imagine it in another color. Purple is ugly.

I sorta like it, would I buy it, probably not, but to me it makes the car look like an old style Bentley or Rolls Royce.

Maybe it would better in a different color. Silver or black or other classic color.

I know it's an iconic look and I had a new 2003 996 TT Porsche that I drove for 5 years before replacing it with a 2008 Z06, but did you ever really look at a Porsche when considering how good it looks. To me, all those Porsche's are as homely looking as all get out. They don't call Porsches inverted bath tubs without good reason. Vettes have always been sexy, some years better than others.

It's a bit like a badass version of the Morgan Aero GT.
