I don't know what they were trying to do with the headlights??? If they made the hood normal and fixed the headlights it would actually be pretty cool with a normal paintjob. I'm warming up to it, but I still say it could have been sooo much better. Some of the other imports they have been doing lately have been awesome; I don't know why they felt the need to rice this one out.

I was hoping for something inline with the AE-86 they did, I have the Cars of the Decades edition of that on my desk. That car is awesome.

Wish I could have been a fly on the wall during their brain storming session.
I'm sure words like "Mugen Pro" were thrown around.
The car seems to be getting more attention lately.
I was at a local high school yesterday to photograph an event.
when I went to leave I found almost 2 dozen kids checking out my car.
they were arguing about the age........ they were all wrong.

I think he is referring to the fact that the ballade sports had flip up headlights.

the top of the bumper? probably the only way they could make the corners work.

It's cool to have a story behind it. It's definitely growing on me. I wonder if it will actually have an engine molded in the back?

This is from the comic:

Looks like a GC8 STI swap, that's pretty sweet!

It's definitely funky looking. They should have made the body one piece and just painted (or not painted) the headlights. I don't mind the mild Mugen-like bodywork, though the hood rakes down too low. That just means I'll have to make one hinge forward, put a big motor in the back, and add Real Rider tires! I see buying up gobs of these just to customize them.
