Looks awesome but after staring at it you start to notice little things like, you'd probably have 3rd deg burns from getting out of the car after a trip from the exhaust, why the owner went to the expense of changed the hubs (leave that one open see if someone else spots whats wrong) The bonnet won't open or atleast it looks like in parts, the front is all 1 sheet of metal/plastic/ali/fiberglass.ect. Might have problems cooling the engine as mouth/opening in bumper very low and looks small.(could just be the shading thou) Chances of breaking the body kit ie front bumper pretty low but mainly stepping on the sideskirts and not just people getting in or out some of the skum who hate seeing nice cars and key them would defo jump on them. Again i don't know why the owner would go the expense of changing the roof.. (i'll leave that one open aswell see if someone else spots whats wrong) and why change away from folding mirrors (fairly robust in my opinion) to one's that are narrow at joining the car mounting pedastal....slights tap with oncomming car will break them., And there is something missing that will impare vision (again leaving it open to see who spots it)

Ok ok i know its only a mock up and its not criticism i think it looks awesome but give me a break i'm working nights on a quiet nite i had to entertain myself somehow :D
