Well it certainly is different- so much so that it loses the retro feel that is associated with the car. From the side it looks like a low-rider.
The front is clean but it remonds me of a customized grill from a Ford F150--and the Tbird is gone. The rear- two 90 degree dorsal fins stuck on the trunk-- to what purpose?
It reminds me of the "car" that was painted the hideous color with some JC Whiney add-ons that is always in the back corner of a used car dealers lot, that they'll do anything to get rid of-- but like the saying goes----- there's an ass for every seat.
I guess I could have said simply- I don't really like it.

I'm sure the car has some kick-ass getup and go! But the changes are too radical for me. I like the manual stick and the 18" wheels. Don't like the changes to the front grill or the fins on the tail. All in all it’s a good job customizing. It’s just not for me.

No bird yet! But got one on order.

It looks like the old Lincoln Marks when
the air bladder suspension went out. The
fins on the trunk, now that's tacky, cheap
tacky.

The thing I disliked most about the production car compared to the prototypes I saw in Detroit was the plastic chrome grill!
I love the billet grill and the from facia.
The hard tonneau is also great if it fits the trunk.
The rest I would not be interested in.

Leisha: I agree about the Grille. I wish someone would cast one, and not plastic, for the market. I would guess many of us would buy it.
Also, by the looks of that Tonneau cover, it appears that it would probably make your car a permanent convertable without being able to put the top up. It doesn't look as if it would fit in the trunk. Of course you may still have the Hard Top
