Any off road ability it might have had with the big wheels but un-lowered suspension is ruined by the bumper.

Could this be the first FTO-based snow plough?

Was thinking it looked like a snow plough too! I'm amazed to see how many body kits and noses there seem to be for the FTO these days. Just a pity I haven't found one I really like. Wanted a Nakaya Tune carbon splitter but almost impossible to come by :(

That particular one seems to be really badly fitting too. Check out the gap between the kit and the bonnet at the front.

Those Cusco coilovers must be jacked up to the last. As per previous post - If you loose the gastly front spoiler then this FTO would be grand.

Just looks like someone made an expensive mistake by buying and fitting that front spoiler - I bet they were kicking themselves after!

It looks a bit like some aftermarket home-made Eclipse bumper for FTO actualy.
and my vote is NO!

Nothing wrong with that car if he throws in the original bumper with it. ;)

I believe it's the Kaze kit. It is an abomination. But even if you were into it. the car looks completely out of proportion, with the massive cheese grater on the front and no mods to the side or back.
The other school of thought is: just as well, they didn't fit the whole kit as the rear looks just as bad.

If anything - the rear is even worse.

If you squint a bit it looks like the creature that attacked Luke Skywalker in the snow at the start of Empire.....

It looks like a 'transvestite FTO' if that makes any sense, or a s3x change operation that went wrong :roll:
