Now hold on a sec...

Before I completely kick this bumblebee to the curb, I gotta give props to whoever the brave soul is that owns that car. Reason being, is that it's interesting to note the 'work' he/she has put in the car to get it to where it is now. Let's examine:
  • Grille - Pretty interesting way of doing things, IMO. And while having it totally enclosed like that might reduce airflow to the engine/radiator, that's easily made up by....
  • Front Spoiler - Not sure yet what car this might originally go on (Accord, perhaps??), it kinda puts me in mind of whats-his-name's car in England (which, btw, darn near everyone gives mad props to)
  • Shaved rear door handles - I probably would've shaved all the handles, if I were going through the hassle of shaving the rears - but it's not MY car.
  • Two-tone yellow interior - uhh... interesting. Definately a conversation piece.
  • Painted Taillights - This would be the one part I'd immediately spew barf at.... I'll call the fashion police!!
  • Rear Wing - Just a tad overkill, IMO. But it DOES make it's presence known, which I'm kinda thinking was the general idea

Oh, and honorable mention goes to the wheels (at least he/she didn't go for five-spoke wheels... ) and the side skirts - which I'm thinking are Xenon, maybe.

All-in-all, I'm not thinking it's not too bad of an idea - IF that is the way you wanna go, I guess.

I give props to your brave soul.
In my opinion it's ok to hate on this dude's car. Mainly because it looks so cheap and like it was done by a 12 year old kid. No one in their right mind should stick up for this guy.

I've seen that thing on the net somewhere. Nice way to keep your car from getting stolen. The grill looks like its from a 99 sentra.

A friend of mine had the same Enkies on his 3rd gen. But his max looked good, this one looks like asscheeks.

You know, even my 3rd gen looks better than that one...... That's pretty bad. Considering mine has some bad hail damage, a few rust spots showing through the paint. And 15" motegi's. I would like to find the person who drives that car and

Then take the car so I can part it..... Well maybe not, I believe in messing with the person, not their car.
