Attack of the Clones, Pt. 10



Again, I wouldn't classify either of these cars as ugly.

On top is a JDM Honda Integra Type R (known to us as an Acura Integra). In Japan, Integra's have more conventional rectangular headlights. Mugan's kit for that car makes for a simple but effective look, adding some extra air intakes. Quite tasteful considering some of the more elaborate cars hailing from Japan.

However, being mostly Japan only, they probably didn't see the shocking similarity between the design and the 88-94 Ford Thunderbird. Ford gets the bonus points for having the look first.

Never noticed that resemblance before! Good eye, Bean!
