I like the idea of the swap

I'm always for the bastard child implant idea.

That being said, I don't just have nice things to say and I never did learn to keep my mouth shut when they taught it in elementary school. Now in my mid thirties I have to watch it most of the time to keep myself out of trouble.

But Okay, this is what I really think...

the nose line at the hood looks SUPER effed up... not to mention that the whole nose is fugly. My assumption is that the core support is punched out to fit the radiator/intercooler and then glassed over to smooth it out.

I'd rather see the engine pushed back into the firewall before doing that sorta number on the exterior bodylines... das-jus-me-dough
