Car is still awesome, even with the "smiley face" kinda like evil miata but lose those chrome wheels as those are disgusting and ruin the whole car (makes me sad just thinking how much they must have cost, what a waste)..

the point of this built was simply because i admire the VIP scene and try to challenge myself into doing something people continuously denied it would work out well and also for the simple fact that im not in a rush to make this car a track build. My Plan on the car as a finish product will be to be stanced yet to be more functional that it already is... More or less of a hybrid design along with the function.

i agree
Same.

Although I respect the level of commitment and effort that went into this car, it looks like shit. The bodywork, while well done, just does not fit the lines of the car at all. It's like a dying Transformer.

I absolutely love it. Only part I'm not completely sold on is the transition from fender to bottom of the bumper

Because this s2 will forever be a transformation, never can it be returned to stock form

Hacked is a term to imply it's ruined. An irreversible change, maybe (anything is reversible) but certainly well done. Controversial to some sure but clean none the less. I don't get when people bash a car with clean body work and say it's trash and you look at their car and it's haggard. (Not saying yours is. General statement)
