It would look alot better if they didnt cut the f**king great big hole in the bumper for the front mounted thing.

Reminds me of a great Simpsons quote:

Homer: Look everyone! Now that I'm a teacher I've sewn patches on my elbows.
Marge: Homer that's supposed to be leather patches on a tweed jacket, not the other way around. You've ruined a perfectly good jacket.
Homer: Incorrect, Marge. Two perfectly good jackets!

While I generally agree, I think it has definite potential. Make it more subtle and it could be a go- a more conventional looking exhaust definitely, and the intercooler isn't too great (okay, it's fugly), but close the bumper around it more, even merge the grille (more like an Audi/ Subaru?), and it would look a lot better...
