Like watching a train crash, one has trouble just looking away.

What does this remind you of?

 

Very potent engine in the car, although reducing wheel width would have made it look a tad more moderate.  A lot of work went into this car.

Maybe a little overdone but that generation Celica lift back started life from the factory looking like a Mustang.

I don't care for the gold wheels or the fender mount mirrors or the windshield decal, but other than that it looks good - to me

Might need to spend time looking at the stock images of the ra28 celica. And "potent" is an understatement. That's a 1jz. In a car that weighs 2400lbs fully loaded.

I'm just mad that the valve cover has 7 holes for a 6 cylinder engine!

Agreed.  What a poor design choice, even if they are #7 Racing Products.  Should up their game and become #1

I prefer the front end treatment

Some of the details aren't to my taste, but I don't hate that. Not one bit, actually.

I like it a lot, and the fender mounted mirrors are very Japan.

I really like it.  Out of my budget range, though.
