They almost look like the ones found on the "Designer Series" kit that Eric mentions on his web site.

It wouldn't look quite as bad, if the wheel on the Continental kit was tilted to follow the rear panel of the car.  I still will never like Continental kits though.  Or the trunk mounted luggage racks while we are at it.

yah, NOT that i like it, but it would look better if the wheel followed the trunk line instead of leaning the other way.

Again I bring up the point I made in the thread with the hideous front grill on the MN12 Cougar.
