Meh I like it over all, but a few things are nasty lookin.....
The shifter has gotta go!!! That is totally screwed up, the wheels are a little too wide for me but doable. the rest is ok.

As he tells us, Bruce's goal in building the car was to do it "Osaka style"--to, as he puts it, take a perfectly good track or luxury car . . . and ruin it. Think flared, Bosozoku-inspired family sedans-turned touge machines, dekotora, or bagged luxury rides on ridiculously off-set deep-dish wheels, and you've got the right idea.

EDIT for Alfy:
Where I lived in Japan, we had a lot of bosozoku and gangster wannabes in addition to the tuner crowd. Nearly every family sedan, scooter, and kei-car that wasn't driven by an elderly couple looked like it had been stripped of all its decency. Obviously I'm exaggerating when I say half, but the number is pretty significant.
Also although this is a 7 and not a luxury sedan, its obvious that this was the style he was going for, as evidenced by the quote I pulled. Osaka-style is essentially an offshoot of the VIP tuning style.

Stupid. whatever. Chrome rims on a sports car are typically an immediate auto-gag reflex. Not sure why this guy feels the need to show off this car. at least we all get to see how much money he wasted.
