These are all very nice and thankfully they did not hang a continental kit on them.

While I'm happy to see someone attempt a modern version of the '55 Crown Vic, this one just doesn't seem quite right, especially in the front end.  Perhaps its the grill, which may be a little undersized and missing a center upright;  or perhaps the headlight chrome "eyebrows" are far too heavy.  Even though it's just the convertible and not the Crown Vic, I prefer the Vitesse '56 interpretation.

I agree.   I immediately noticed that the headlights and rings are oversized and the grille isn't accurate.
