I really want to like this. But it just looks like to me they couldn’t figure out how to get the tailgate right. It ruins the lines of the car when you get to the back. Kind of looks like a photoshop experiment gone wrong.

Edit: Just realized the hood scoop. Yeah, this thing is what happens when a redneck gets ahold of a couple of parts Mercedes’s and has too much beer on hand.

The tailgate isn’t the best design, sure. But it doesn’t ruin the car for me.

The proportions of the rear quarter panel and hatch are right on.

The hatch itself, wheels and a few minor things need to be improved - but its a mostly well executed.

Nice in profile, but needs detail help stat. The wheels, hood scoop, and fender vents need to go. Nice idea, questionable execution.

I liked it a lot, then I read the description. Good god this thing sounds like a mess! The cruise doesn’t work, I disabled the EGR so now it won’t idle right when cold, I will “try” to charge the AC, I decided to put in seats from a friggen Lexus!

Yikes.
