Really appreciate the effort that guys put into his car, but the standard look appeals so much more. Those 17" rims look so wrong

The wheels and black front lip make the restomod visually look sky high

Both cars are real nice but the wheels just don't look right on the restomod car. They just look a inch too big. No different when I see old muscle cars with anything beyond 16" in diameter - just looks wrong and usually makes it ride like crap on top of it. 20" rims and cars that used to have 15-16" rims look like a clown car.<br><br>Now when it comes to the EFI, it makes the car 10 times more reliable and twice as fun to drive. Nice mods on everything else.

Usually like restomods, and love the Esprit. This one not so much though Wheels to big/stance not right . Car sits too high. The concave front rim makes it look like a truckwheel imo. Also don’t really like the interior, seems a bit of a collection of stuff. And the arrows in the turnsignals and stopsign in the brakelight…. Come on, its a Giugiaro designed car, it doesn’t need that. Look how the original car sits and then look at the restomodded car. Not an improvement, probably also not in handling.

First impression is those wheels look HUGE. It looks like it’s on stilts too. But both beautiful cars.

The original, unadulterated, one is so classy.

Fair play for making it your own. Others can express opinions but it's your car so your choice. The work looks to be well considered & executed. Nice job.

Seriously, I thought he was going for a mini monster truck look. Makes the original car look soooooo great.
