$6! I paid $20 for mine. And you can get a screaming deal on one at Hobbytown for $49.95... I gotta get another Enzo this week for yet another set of rims/engine/seats...for a street rod!
The front end will get some kind of mod for sure. I kinda like the way it makes the front end super low and flat. The bumper guards are definately out. I like the rolled pan idea. But I'm unsure if I want to do a lot of changing. The ugly front end was the most distictive feature of the car.

I'm thinking a smoothie bumper like a stock 1950 chevy truck bumper may help smooth out the funky lines of the front end.

Side pipes will definately look cool. The kit does come with some side pipes I think.

I'm thinking this car needs some outrageous paint. A pink or cobalt blue pearl, or kandy. With rear wing cove in brushed aluminum.

The windshield still works with very little modification. The entire chop was done at the bottom of the pilars, so the glass still works. The clear glass in this kit is tinted green. So I will be spraying it black.
