Default Soarer or Aston Martin (strange conversion)

I found this car for sale on Yahoo Auctions Japan- its a soarer with a very odd aero set up








-there are a few more pics, but I think these should cover it-

not my cup of tea, atleast it looks better than the ferrari conversion that goes for sale on the web every couple of months-

anyways, people like seeing new and different things, and this is definitly... different

I like the front end and the way the cornering lights are, but I'm not a fan of the back end. Definately something different.

I'd be cool t osee the front end wihtout the license plate holder and with a big L instead of the aston martin symbol...but thats just me.

I think it needs a widebody with it to capture the true aston martin essence-

Not bad. It's nice to see something different yet clean every once in a while. I'd roll in it....

freakin sweet! The whole thing looks awsome...its 20th century I would do it if I could but I would label it as a Lexus. It doesnt look like an aston martin so much that everyone would say, "why is your lexus a crappy aston martin". It looks like all the other SC's here that have body kits. Im diggin it, LINK or more PICs

Needs wide body, I agree. But look at those reverse lights...I bet they are brighter than ours

Not too bad....I wouldn't call it rice. It's different. A little less open mouth in the front would be better. I like the rear. I wouldn't do it but I would admire it.

Improvements still need to be made for maximum copycating. but this guy is on the right track since he wanted his car to look like an Aston Martin.

Personally I think this car could've passed as the new SC for the 2001+. I'd like to do it but the money spent must be insane. It looks sweet.

I personally like it, the front is Aston Martin and the back look like a alfa romeo
I don't mind rolling it in the states.

I like it. It's fresh and new.....i don't like that he's rocking the AM sign, though. Should have put the Lexus L iin front.
