I never thought I say anything positive about an Aztec but that looks pretty sick! Those wheels, fenders, and drop make all the difference. The front styling still needs to go though.

The Z4 is still ugly.

The Aztec is interesting, I don't like all the lights up front, the exhaust port/s and the flared fender flares. The fender flares look like slap on stuff. The shape, lowering and wheels greatly help the appearance though. 600 hp nice...but in that car.

Z4 Curved lines and the sharp-straight combinations...ugh

the aztec still looks ugly but the z4 looks nice. The only thing i dont like about the z4 is the front because it looks like a shark

that aztec looks pretty tight, but i still wouldnt buy one. the Z4 looks worse than it did stock. It figures that the aztec there was built by Pontiac, because, that took A LOT of work to get that car to look like that. It also looks like it rolling on 21's or 22's.

since we're on the subject of making "ugly" cars look decent; "ugly" being subjective, the previous subaru impreza with the round headlamps comes to mind. to me, its not really an ugly car but in stock form it doesn't do it for me. but once you slap on a body kit, that thing looks mean. even putting eyebrows transforms the look of the front end. also, the lancer doesn't look good imo yet the evo looks so much nicer that you forget it's a lancer. i don't like how the evo looks without the wing though. a car that i truly think is ugly would be a civic hatchback... all generations. but once you slap on a body kit, it's all good.
