    or course you would.

    and it looks good but reminds me of the toyota fj cruiser with the top like that for some reason. And I wouldn't say mini-esque, more like they put some porsche 911 headlights on it and gave it the same little dipped headlight look.

    It lost most of the homo, but I'm still not a fan. I do like that silver bug that's bagged on Mercedes rims though, hopefully I can find the pic.
