Looks like a BMW Z3, a Lexus and a Mercedes had a threesome...and this is what popped out 9 months later.

I like those brakes and headlights.

Never seen that type of trunk/spoiler combo either.

the jp looks like just add on plastic insert vent on the fenders.+ I think the vents is too low. It should flow with the body line. each have there own preference.

but having them on top of the fenders looks off, even the the origin of the fender (BMW) has it down there next to the tire well (or actually is right on the body roll and not above or below it) and imo flows with the body. Them on top just looks out of place and as looking like plastic inserts, well even on the bmw they look that way :/
