The tail lights should have been done as well and tastefully as the front.

It would be so cool to have this as a factory option.

That's probably the best retro version I've seen so far, but if I wanted a car to look like a 1st gen, I'd have bought a 1st gen. Our cars pay hommage to the original without being the original.
They followed the fender lines (they had to), but that forced the grill and cowl to sit too low. It looks like the front melted and slid down the car a bit.

The upper grill is nice but I do not like those wheels, I agree the Gen5 rocks as it is.

No thanks, and that's stupid money for a body kit, IMO.

There was a good handful of them at C5FIII and I wasn't really feeling it. If the car would have been designed to look more like that I think they could have made it work. But as it is it just doesn't flow IMO.

I dont think that they could have picked a wheel any uglier.

Wow... I'm amazed by all the negativity. Anyway, I think the front end looks really good, especially compared to some other attempts I've seen. Not something I'd want myself but cool in it's own way. The wheels are very cool and at least they made something that looks similar enough to the Rally Wheels to fit the part.
I'm sure it's an interesting option for those who felt the fifth gen wasn't retro enough.
