Never seen it before. I don't like anything except the wheels on it though. I'm sure it $$$.

I've never seen that before, but it's hideous. Looks like a Transformer or something.

I don't think their vented hood works well with the F. There are other kits out there that look much better.

Different things for different people. I actually like some of it... far from all though, it's a bit overdone, IMO. Plus I can't imagine how pricey it will be.

I like parts of it, but it's not as cleaned up as the WALD or even the Artisan Spirits.

I have to say I like the rear bumper though, minus the small gills at the bottom of the bumper. I like the big vent just aft of the rear wheels. And that rear diffuser with the F1 style brake light is sick!

The rest just looks like azz

The opening in front of the front wheels looks better than that plastic thing on the Wald kit.

This thing looks like the "Bat Mobile"!! However I would love to see a hood with functional air vents, when tracking the F there is enough heat buildup under the engine cover to cause the fuel to boil in the fuel rails... ask me how i know... So any help to get rid of some of this heat would be welcomed.
