Wow. $75 for a bent piece of speaker grille. Yes, grilles in the rear are for mid-engine cars. Aside from trapping dirt, that thing is so incredibly stupid that it makes my head hurt. God help anyone who buys that trash.

But see, just when you think it can't possibly get any worse---it's different strokes for different folks. Front grille reminded me of original link.
Saw this on ebay last week. It's painted guards red at least as stated in ad-eeeek!
$3500 Miata + $3500 in real Ferrari badging = Feratta. Please don't go there.
I gouged my eyes out after witnessing all of this so please be kind regarding typographical errors.
EDIT: here's the link-- nuff said.

Favorite quote from ad: "This car is the biggest Chick Magnet and it will get compliments on a daily basis...all emblems are oem metal badges from italy and not some cheap decals"

That's the factory-authorized special "evoluzione" edition Miata....

That reminds me . . . did anyone ever see that yellow Supra bodged up with Ferrari badges and testarossa-like fins? Someone post the pic of that if you have it..

I think the concept is neat. I like the look, but ... I HATE the look of the license plate mounted on the bumper. I also think fake and purposeless grills are tacky!

On that note, I saw a Pontiac grand Am that had a "ram air" badge on it, and the hood scoops... Well, upon closer inspection of the hood scoops, they were plastic plates with a grille-like texture.... I was laughing so hard...

I just love the crank windows on the Feratta. Plus, I'd like to see the person explain why the engine says "Mazda" on it. And you know it has got to sound like crap - may even have a PepBoys muffler and one of those huge annoying tailpipes on it.

I think the grille looks far sharper then the rear lightbar that I've seen there, the license plate does look a bit odd though

I went up to a brand new Dodge Ram pickup, with the full "hemi" or whatever the hell they like to call it...all shiny and new right? The stock hood had a huge hood scoop in the middle of the hood...I went up to it closer and saw that it was just a plastic grille inside. God I hate american cars.

WOAH,
Big flames here.
I too like this better than the clunkey light bar. At least it does not pretend to light up like the one on mine. Also my plate is on the bumper in the center of the car. I am not suggesting anyone go and buy it for 75 bucks, but at least the back end looks finished. Just my opinion though.
