100% with Red here. I'm not quite 100% on it, the front just seems a bit OTT and off.

The back looks insane, just needs to be a bit wider IMO

It's very well done judging by the pics, I'm just not sure the MR2 is the right car to build a Mustang on, a Celica or even a Supra would have made more sense to get the dimensions closer.

hmm, would have to agree with Michael.

but just don't know why anyone would make a mustang replica when there not that expensive to buy.

Awful lot of effort to gain a bit of extra space in the front luggage compartment. :P

"Hey, I want to make a replica of a front engined, V8 powered, american muscle-car. Hmmm, I guess a mid-engined japanese runabout is the ideal donor car."

Is it me?

*edit*
FWIW, if somebody had showed me this and just said it was a bodykit for an MR2 my response would have been "Blimey! I guess a lot of effort's gone into it. Certainly looks well done."
I don't think I would have even guessed it was supposed to look like a Mustang unless somebody told me though. It looks more like an early Evo or summat to me.

Im guessing after 16 pints and a few punch's in the face this could seem like a good idea :)

Can i ask what you guys see as the problem with this car? What do you think is wrong with it other than going in the huff and being all pi$$y coz someone has took a tubby and done something different.

Now i see the trouble with the ferarri kits as most are done on the bodge but this kit seems well done and with a few tweeks would look xxxx hot, all in my opinion of course.

Can't knock the fact that someone has obviously put a lot of time and money in and it looks like an overall quality job has been achieved.

I'm not saying I could do better, but it just looks wrong to me and it doesnt even look anything like what its trying to emulate.

I'm not a fan of the whole 'car to look like another car' thing anyway.

:whistle:
