Like Lotus needs any more issues with ingress/egress! Imagine the passenger who doesn't crack windshield or pull off the door, manages to step on the bodywork on the way out!

Have a close look at the pic from the back - panels slapped over the stock bodywork.

Looks like pretty awful work to me.

That doesn't looks very good to me. The lines for the rear fenders, the rockers, and the ridiculous running boards are just plain weird. It doesn't even appear to be very well made. I'm not saying it couldn't be done nicely, but this isn't very nice to my eye.

I agree. It's like it's trying too hard to be agressive.

That car looks like it fell out of the "rice tree" and hit every branch on the way down. The only things missing are a bunch of stickers. Blech!

Different sizes, obviously.

I saw this car in person and thought it was not the finished product. I hope it's not. Look at the side "scoops". They don't have any openings.
