Expensive and overly aggressive is a perfect description. Why not, for the same or less money, get Viggen bumper covers and other items, rather than taking a Saab's lines and making them look like a bottom-heavy ricer clone.
Some points: The extended lip on the top of the front and rear bumpers makes the car look like the top half is being carried on a tray.
That front air dam will frighten small children, become an instant target for every curb and the curled sides serve no purpose at all.
The little air scoops just in front of the rear wheels look cool, but I hope they're functional, maybe directing cooling air toward the rear brakes.
The rear dam looks like it belongs on a much bigger car. The whole sense of proportion and scale looks terribly out of whack.
Would it look different in a classy silver and not pumpkin orange? Who knows....
