Scoopy Don't

This beaut is down the road from my work. I pass it every day, but was finally able to grab a pic. I believe this is the mother of all hood scoops. It's possible that if you go above 120km/h the hood flies off. Also not very visible is the front bumper, but it fits horribly. Not sure what car it's off of, but it looks like an SVT Ford. Probably a Crown Vic LX Sport, but the grille indent seems too small.

Aftermarket Juke

Japanese Nissan tuner Impul had tried it's hand at the Juke, and in the process actually made it look worse... A silver ground effects kit clashes with the black along the lower body of the Juke, negating the effect it had of visually reducing the height of the body. Up front to spoiler only exaggerates the odd stock 3 hole air intakes, which look as if they were made for launching torpedoes. The look is topped off with a gigantic rally-type spoiler that a WRX would envy, and - of all things - window visors (which need their own dedicated autofug posting).
