Making the Toyota Previa mid engine van into a Ferrari SUV, photoshop idea.
How are you guys liking the aerodynamics on this concept... $800 Previa van with some chopping and bending of the roof line... put on a CNC'd kit and viola?
Ideally I'd like to crowd fund an open source (videos) on how to make this kit car.

Viola in the context of if its actually possible to have such a slick SUV and for it to be a safe road legal car.
Here's a stock Previa with a new face.

Crowd fund? Wouldn't you just do it and record the progress?

I like your Photoshop and 3D skills !
As far as this concept, how aboat start small and work your way into things ?
Take the car that you drive now, and modify it. Even something as simple as a grille block or wheel covers can take days to figure out sometimes. 
I really like the look of the design though. Keep up the art ! |

Frank is messing with you. "Viola" = a stringed instrument a little larger than a violin. Like the relationship between a cornet and a trumpet.
SYK, "voila" = French phrase meaning "see there." Unfortunately some people get it even wronger and spell it "walla," which makes me want to punch my computer in the throat for even displaying something so dumb.
You are aware the front seats of the Previa sit right on top of that engine hump, right? Is there even enough headroom to lower the roof like you show?
Be advised that some of my concern stems from the previous generation Toyota Van (TownAce to non-American drivers), in which the engine hump is even higher.

Violas are defiantly my favorite. It's like you took a double base, shrinked it, and walla! Viola!

Did you just say " wronger " ?
So... back on topic.
