    Gosh, that’s horrible. Looks like a vacuum cleaner with two marbles stuck in the snout.

    I think "distinctive" might be the word they would prefer... :D

    They achieved the “stinc” part.

    Wow. There are years of knock-off Jeep toys with "re-imagined" grilles that they could have looked to for better inspiration than that.

    Woof. Seems like 2018 hood, grill, and fenders are needed to achieve "the look". Guess there is a market for such things now.

    Fugly FJ cousin or no, all the important guts for us to benefit from are all there. IMO we want this thing to succeed and provide a pipeline for high quality parts bin.

    Look on the bright side - lots of room for a front-mount winch!

    The non-infringing Roxor is , in my view, definitely not from the frame up . The chassis & drivetrain appears to be very familiar though ? Feel free to bring me

    Wow, that looks terrible. I have a feeling that would be a tough sell in the u.s.

    It will still sell fine. Most people buying this "UTV" are buying it as a "Willys" in 2020. It never looked like a flatty anyway. People buying it to dress it up as a CJ can still carry on as planned. Only thing I see changing is Fiat has less to gripe about.

    I'll have to measure stuff again, but if the fenders do need to be replaced, it will be more about finding a hood. Cuz the answer to your question could be "Omix-Ada".

    There was already a company making grilles for them with vertical slats instead of the angled ones that they came with....

    Those are just grill covers really. The grill is basically a early CJ5 grill without a "cover" on it. It's the same structure and general shape but a large squarish opening. The OEM cover just snapped in over that. Aftermarket ones replace the OEM cover with various looks and slot counts. Mine is a 6 slot with a combo of the 3B and 5 look.
