    I don't think that will go over well as there is another kit out there called a catfish.

    How about Xabier, since it appears this design is highly inspired by his FFR contest entry.

    It's like a bottom feeder or catfish but that's taken already.

    We should name the noses.
    Subaru has bugeye, blobeye, and hawkeye.

    I vote for sexy-eye for the original?

    Somebody figure out something for the new front end.
    Attachment 44597

    I think the "more sexy eyes" front end is a good name also ;-)

    Seriously I actually like them both. The coupe got the tick from me purely because of the climate I live in.
    The old front end is nice apart from the bumper. The bumper struggles to work with the design IMO

    How about we go about build assembly frustration.

    Original - PITA…

    New - hopefully not a PITA to assemble

    Front nose upgrade is $799, and includes two fenders, head lamp buckets and lenses, projector head lamps, eight (8) LED indicators, bolt-in grille insert with mesh, and steel mount brackets for retro fit to 818S nose.
