Not a fan of body kits, but...
 
This actually has some hints of brilliance shining through.

MX-5 Miata Forum - My fastback roadster

FRT_Fun 05-21-2009 11:12 PM

I think the overall body lines are good, but it has too much going on for me.

Vashthestampede 05-21-2009 11:15 PM

WOW! That shit is sick! Super clean and very well put together. The first actual nice looking autokonexion fastback. Too bad it had to be hacked apart and customized to make it look good.

Nice find. I don't visit m.net, so I only get to see something if its linked from here. Glad I didn't miss that.

NA6C-Guy 05-21-2009 11:38 PM

Holy shit. I didn't think I was going to like it, but something about it is awesome! I kind of don't like the front lights, but they match the rear.

Stein 05-21-2009 11:43 PM

Yeah, it's all 928/TVR/BMW Z4 rolled into one.

y8s 05-21-2009 11:51 PM

I kind of like parts of it but I dont like them all on the same car at the same time. It does look better executed than some of the body hacks I've seen, but I bet he has serious head/tail lighting issues.

Wild project though

the_man 05-22-2009 09:04 AM

I think it looks very 944ish. Which I like.

One comment, though- why do people list things like:

Aluminium brace bar
Purple ignition leads
Chromed rocker cover
Purple silicone hoses
Braided brake lines
Custom screen washer jets tucked under the bonnet

As "Engine" modifications? I don't get it. Most of those would embarass me rather than be something I'd want to brag about. I guess I just can't stand when somebody makes a really cool/fast looking car that has no balls to back itself up.

looks like a beached whale, hope he doesn't sneeze on his fiberglass and it cracks in half.

I gave my praise over at m.net as well.

levnubhin 05-22-2009 09:22 AM

Looks like a pile of poo poo to me.

seriously, all that work is laughable, it looks like asshole. It has 10" tires for 90rwhp and a bloated estimated 3000lbs curb weight for crying out loud.

FRT_Fun 05-22-2009 09:28 AM

Wow I did not even notice the serious lack of anything performance oriented listed there. Poor thing.

Braineack 05-22-2009 09:35 AM

but it has a diffuser blocked by exhaust piping....its gotta be fast.

Joe Perez 05-22-2009 09:55 AM

I do sort of like the tail end. Reminds me a bit of a TVR.

The front end, OTOH, reminds me a bit of the vehicle they use to push commercial aircraft back from the gate.

Doppelgänger 05-22-2009 09:58 AM

Wait..all that work and only painted with a spray can? yuck.

car is slow... i'll pass.

budget racer 05-22-2009 10:19 AM

i like the idea.....but i hate that the car is "molded". it will all crack eventually.

Faeflora 05-22-2009 10:40 AM

Well haters, I think it looks pretty darn awesome. I've always wanted to do that moulded thing with the gaps bondoed or whatever.

BenR 05-22-2009 11:02 AM

Looks ok I guess, but wow that must be slow.

leatherface24 05-22-2009 11:10 AM

the molding work seems like it was done nicely....however that just looks like the most desperate approach of turning something into a turd and then midway into it saying, "oh crap, now i have to try and polish it somehow"

icantthink4155 05-22-2009 12:20 PM

From the doors back I like it. Dont like the front fenders, lip, turnsignals. And its ugly as sin from the back, fat ass.

spike 05-22-2009 12:38 PM

That has gotta be the ugliest piece of shit I have ever seen.

What the fuck was the owner thinking when putting that fucking ugly thing together......I wonder if he's a member of cr.net.
