I like the car color, the wheels look good. The mechanical challenges and turning circle reduced and tendency to bend the wheels in potholes make it not my thing but if he is happy with it I'm good with it. Air up the tires, polish the headlights and don't get caught on camera rolling one.

There's an IOM SS convertible rolling around here that is set up very similar. In my opinion, it looks ridiculous, but like a number of you have said, it his car to do with what he chooses.

Jesus. Can't imagine what that does to his effective gear ratio.

It’s just another version of customizing, like rat rods, pro street, all original and etc. The work that goes into each custom car is what makes them unique, but there are many out there that all of us would say I’m not rolling in that. I’m just glad that people are still making cars their own, so when I see one I don’t like it’s easy to say yuck but still check it out to see the work that went into it.
