Ya, the side pipe/tail pipe combo is a good look.

I think there's thread for abortions/abominations, you should throw this up there and link people to it.

Front end off a Land Rover?

Someone has some mad skills.. but why waste them on THAT!?
Even the colors are bad.. If you're gonna go all HotWheels.. then you need some flash mettalics.. raspberry red, lime green, rust orange, baby diarrhea yellow..

Personally I think it's awesome and shows some great vision and skills.
Very retro and reminds me of something Big Daddy Ed Roth would design.
