I'm not sure if I like this or not, its one of those I'm on the verge of either loving or hating it.

Sinces its new and kinda funky lookin, I'll give it the thumbs up

Thumbs down to the AM symbol on the car though

Mis-badging is not the coolest thing, but I can't really talk because I have a soarer emblem on my SC, but completely different family/ country of cars is different. The car looks awesome, definately a lot of money, its ridiculous, any more pics??

wow- I guess Im the only one that thinks this is too extreme of a change for the SC/Soarer??? I honetly think it looks like the rear and sides were just slapped on, and dont fit quite right. I also think the front looks like a cheap imitation.

Its not my cup of tea, I like some of the aggressive aero set ups for our car (do-luck, Team Target Phenix, and Phoenix Power (don't you love the different spelling's of the same word ), but this kit does nothing for me... I would rather see a more creative design that at the same time enhances the Lines of the J/UZZ chasis rather than a conversion that looks out of place and slapped on.

Out of all the cars that have the wrong label on them this one at least looks good, well the back anyhow, the front still needs more work.
The diffuser needs to be a bit more tucked up closer to the body, as the effect now makes the car look a bit skinny, or the widebody as someone else mentioned.
I should get some clay and get out my sculpting tools from when I did that at Ford, then make some molds right off the clay, maybe I'll get a shop and a few extra dollars one of these days...
Wouldn't that be fun to create an ongoing styling exercise that was done online as a group, then make some kits from the results?

very original and the tail reminds of a alfa romeo. not bad at all and the fitment looks really good and he took care of all the little detail pretty well like the wheels and rx-7 cornering lights. i give the two thumbs up. but i still think it need a little more work before id call it nice. but it is clean though

It doesnt do a thing for me. The kit doesnt flow with the lines of the SC, but i think the same thing about the 97 changes in the hood too.

I respect the creativity.... Honestly in other colors and various rim/suspension set ups it may be really stunning.... Not a fan of that blue although it is European looking..
