They look like an afterthought. They seem kinda out of place on that car. Maybe, longer angle cut tips would look better, or at least more muscle-car like.

Its different...

I doubt that many people on here would know what JoTech is...
But yes, I have seen it on f-bods, mustangs, cavaliers, hell even 1973 accord hatchbacks.
Part of me feels sorry for the poor ba5tards
but the other half makes me want to grab them by the neck and slap from freakin sense into them. Quit following the 7 month trends and get some style of your own.
