Looks like an Army surplus offering.

I'm with Turin on this.  Bet it looks a lot better in 3D.

What did he do that's so earth shaking?

Hid the turn signals. Is that a good thing?

Put a plastic cowl over the rear seat. Currently readily available.

Made different headers. At least he sorta hid the fugly stock muffler/cat.

Cut the windshield down and made it non-movable?

Recessed the dash. Why?

Painted the motor. OK... We all know how well that works out.

Removed the active aerodynamics. I've heard that actually helps/works.

Painted it a fugly color.

About the only improvement in looks I see is that muffler/cat. is turned on it's side and somewhat hidden.

As usual, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I like it, I'd like even more in a different color.
