It's a cool concept, but they just look off. I dont think I could stomach the paying for that conversion and having to look at the finished product. I think the worse line on the car is the steep slope from the base of the windwhield to the front of the car. I know its probably cuz of ped requirements, but it doesn't look right.

They look better than the original. The original looked like it had met a steam roller.

Those Retrobuilt cars look amazing but for that coin one could build a sick street/track S197. Performance trumps appearance in this kid's book.
