I really don't care for it...
IMO the whole Eleanor thing is overdone...

I think the body kit itself looks really good, as far as fit and finish. However, I'm not much into clones... whether it be sheeps or Mustangs. To me, being an Architect by trade and a designer at heart, buying a kit car is like buying a track home. And even though in this case, the Cervini Elearnor kit will be rare, I still want to have a car that nobody else has. I like taking a stock car and doing what I want to it. Not having someone else design it for me. But that's me.

I like the kit in parts, but I would never do the whole thing. Eleanor, as-is, wasn't even a true clone of a 67 GT500. It was a Foose interpretation of the GT500 and this is Cervinis interpretation of that interpretation. Kind of like making a copy of a copy of a copy.

Looks like Roush was trying to catch the spirit of the Eleanor fantasy as well.

I dont really like any of the eleanor kits, I personally like a little bit from each of them. Cervinis kit I like the scoops. They are the best I have seen. They actually have vents out the back and inserts etc. Most of the ones for sale are just bulky and dont seem to have inserts or any venting thru the scoop from what I have been told by the reps. These are nice, I will definitely be ordering some unless something comes along better. Anyway the best stuff will be available for those willing to wait. Takes time. Rome wasnt built in a day or a year, for the perfect mustang its going to take time. Good luck to all

I like the ducktail from Cervini, esp from behind. For the hood I dont like anything about the "Eleanor bump out". I prefer the Shelbish BBR hood. not able to come to any conclusions about side and quarter window scoops.

I think it's alright, but to me it looks the same as some of the others. I'd take the '67 over the '05 any day.

I like parts of it. I am thinking about their ductail. It is not my absoulute favorite and I need to see it in person but I like how it uses the holes left by the stock spoiler and the fact that it still leaves the 3rd break light exposed. That will save me some $. I still think that SSE makes a better ducktail but then I would need to have the holes filled and the trunk repainted.

:notnice: The kit has run its course. For a time it seemed like everyone and their brother was putting it on their car. I saw 2 67's at a car show recently one with the E kit and one with simple Shelby stripes. Guess which one caught my attention more.... not the E kit.

Eleanor was cool as a unique thing. It's like if you take anyones custom idea which is cool and decide to make alot of it. Then seeing alot of it will just make it bland.
Just imagine anyother cool idea which is awesome now, like the fastforward fastack, see that one is cool, but imagine them selling kits and clones. It would lose it's spark. Eleanor had something good, but yeah they are overdoing it. It's still not bad looking, they just need to take it easy with it.
