For the money he spent, wouldn't it have been easier just to get a 4th gen and do a cam to it? lol

Looks like everything was done to high standards, lots of thought, and budget minded spending. The end result is a damn clean looking car, with higher hp then many guys have around here, and something that is one of a kind. For me that deserves a 10 in everyones book.
When you go out on a limb to do something outside the norms, you subject yourself to opinions that you may or may not like. Thank God for that. I love the freedom of speech.

It's great the kid decided to do something different. But, there are two things to consider with any project: concept and execution. His execution was top notch. His concept was terrible. I guarantee, however, he learned a thing or two along the way and will apply those lessons learned to future projects.

No one hits a homerun with their first at bat. No painter makes his masterpiece the first time he holds a brush. Cars are the same.

Your point that people could be more respectful is valid. But, I don't think people need to run around kissing the butt of everyone who "gave the old college try." Be happy there are people who intersect reality with others fantasy (delusion).

I think if he removed all the stickers, rethought the wheels and maybe ditched the Ram hood he might have a great looking car. Wing's fine as long as he drops the car like someone else mentioned. If I saw that on the road I'd laugh and think of Vatozone.

I watched the whole video and I like the power plant and the car. I don't like some of the "ricer" styling but I'm kinda indifferent towards it too.

If we didn't have customized cars that look like hell, then nobody would appreciate a cleanly modified one. Just think about it, if we all have like minded styling preferences, would "clean" or "good looking" cars even exist?

Those stock "bowling ball" wheels are worth more than the whole car.

He said his slp exhaust was "stainless steel coated", lol.

Well, at least his effort and vision came together. Not for me however.

Paint the wheels black and take off the wing and you guys would love it. I don't see how two small things makes Why many would like, into something everyone thinks is the ugliest thing on the planet.
