Back window doesn't mean squat. Anything can be custom made to suit the owners taste. This is NOT a lowered bug. It is built on a fully custom race suspension. In case nobody noticed those wheels are very close to 0 deg camber.

That thing is ugly...

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.
Some, like the purists, don't like the smallest modification.
Some like the lowered look with massive amounts of negative camber to destroy the tires, put unnecessary stress and wear on parts, and screw up the handling.
Some, like Skim, like wierd customs like the Pink Lady.

I like them done right. If you want low, keep your alignment angles within specs. In my opinion this guy did it right. No handling issues, nice stance and the body mods look good.
