I give an "A" for ingenuity but a "C-" for execution. Horrible to say the least. What a waste of the new headlights too i can surely get better use from them.

This photo should be on the Top Gear News Segment for the January 2013 Season 19

Top Gear commentary

Jeremy Clarkson: That is the motoring equivalent of plastic surgery.

Richard Hammond: If that vehicle could talk it would say, "Please Kill Me!"

James May: Leave it to the Japanese to modify a car with the tinsel of high performance. I could only image what a girl would say if you turned up with this car on the first date.

It almost looked like they tried to turn it into the drift evo 7 from Tokyo Drift. But I agree with others, definitely not my cup of tea.
