As to the Enzo, I infer that it was a Japanese designer. Right?
Just to set the record straight, I have no disdain for the Japanese or their cars. They make vehicles of outstanding quality, and the reliability of a Japanese automobile is generally second to none. In fact, I have owned two Acuras. (That was before I was afflicted by my Porsche passion.
) However, by and large, it seems that their designs usually are derivative of German designs.

Their skill is great, but i have to say that is the most odd looking, mis-shapped, in-accurate F50 on the streets 
BTW, the way i see it, Japanese look at American and European car makers, then produces a 'cheaper, advanced' version of it, which lasts half the life time of the American/European models.

Reminds me a little bit of that really strange looking 944 that some guy in europe made, he made up a whole body kit for it. It looked friggin awesome except for the front valence
All of that said, the work is absolutely amazing. Not as an F-50 kit but as a body kit in general. If more people went to that kind of trouble maybe body kits wouldnt have such a bad rep.

Sorry have to disagree here, my honda daily's have all gone over 200K while i owned them and i have verified a couple ofthem still going over 300K with just general maint. Most american cars i have had experiences with have had either engine/tranny replacements or both by 150K, just my .02

So let me get this straight..... These guys in Japan did a very amazing job as far as skill and long hours, maybe not that great in taste though, but these guys can pull this type of **** off, and between all of us Rennlisters with N/A's we cant come up with a chin spoiler..? Hmmm all those pics did is motivate me...Looks like I will be going to town shaping some foam tonight....
