wow! it's got great defining edges, and the front end looks better than stock imo. Except for the opening on the hood it looks clean. has a 'modern' design to it

Looks nice, very modern, clean design.

I don't see how it looks like a Focus? For starters it has a trunk and the lines are completely different.

Yes. I'm now 100% sure its a Tibby. The Bulges over the hood's are identical to those on a Tiburon. The rear bumper also goes up slightly and hits an upward crease. The panels line up to a Tiburon also... like the strait edge below the A-pillar and the line near the side mirror.

Plus its a huge coupe. I doubt he cut off the extra doors off a Focus sedan.

I like the look, even if it is clearly just a copy cat...

It's definitly an RSX w/ new nose and hood. Look at the mirrors, those are unmistakably Honda/Acura.

Here's a comparison pic for you skeptics.
