The *** is too big.. actually the whole body is too thick and bulkyto fit the roof IMO.
Does look a bit like the s-197's.

good job on the work, but maybe another car might look a little better. i agree too, it makes the body look pretty big and bulky.

If your into the custom thing I would recommend fabbing up a targatop kit as that will have a larger reception, I must say tho, the lowered roofline makes it look much sleeker. I would like to see what it'd look like with a cowl hood.

The front of the roof needs to be lower and the rear part of the roof raised to make a more level roofline in my opinion. And again,the car would have to be lowered to not clash with the chop top design.

I don't dislike it but you really need to get some good photo's on Photo-bucket or something so we can see bigger better pics (it can only help you promote your service).
Look into some rims for the car to help get people's attention at shows other wise they will look at your and assume it's stock and walk onto the next car.

I think that if you were able to bring the front of the roof down, and shorten the glass, it would help. Also, even though it would be a huge project, if you were to section the body, to bring that down some as well, it would make the overall car look a lot better, in my opinion.

The side Profile doesn't look too bad... Get some better pics at a larger size.

With the right suspension work...and removing the spoiler, and getting a hood without a scoop, I think it could look pretty slick. You just have to lower the overall look of the car to flow with the lower roof.

Something like this:
