I like it, especially the colour scheme.

It reminds me of a 4th generation Camaro. It's OK but the pop-up headlights are one of the many things I like about TR7's.

It looks a bit like my dad's Oldsmobile Starfire back in 1975.

Mmmm. I like the lights and the color scheme. No on the bonnet modifications.

One heck of a pair of air dams . . . perspex covers would help !

Me too, Aaron! I've always felt that the TR7's look pretty modern considering how old they actually are. That being said, IMHO those mods (especially the lights) really make the car look dated. [V] Humanoid got it pretty close with that Starfire. I can see the resemblance!! To each their own, right?--Monica

It looks like a UK budget version of Knight Rider from the front......

...+1, the air dam on the front looks just like the one I am fitting to my car right now. I'd like to see more pic's if there are any so I can see how it looks before I start drilling holes in the body of my car [:p]

Looks too much like a GM product. While I didn't think the lights were quite right back in the day, I now think it's one of the things that make the TR7 unique. Demure when down, cute as a platypus when up.
