Maybe, because it's god awful ugly. Most people try to make the front look smaller not bigger! This thing looks huge!!!! The front wheels even look bigger then the back, the side skirt doesn't match the front (not low enough), and the panel gaps are all hodge podge.
Of course it could just be the picture?

+2, things don't flow right on it. The removal of the blinkers strikes me as ridiculous and the car looks unfinished in that pic. Why mold the front bumper and not the side ground effects? Looks awful together. Could be made to look nice, but as it stands in that pic at least, it looks unfinished and awful. 
Oh, and the hood looks bad. It appears a different color of silver or the metallic isn't facing the right way or whatever. Can we say paint blending?

In that case. Even worse.
A carbon fiber hood is the quickest, easiest way to draw attention away from all of your hard work at making a custom front bumper. Should have had a matching silver hood. Don't know if that carbon fiber is painted or whatnot, but in my opinion, the hood shouldn't steal the attention from the bodywork.

But first, who tries to make the front "look smaller"?!? I've never heard of that...
Ok, you obviously have the depth perception of a one eyed dog... The front bumper was the exact same height as the side skirts and the wheels aren't bigger in the front, you're just obviously not observant enough to realize the rear quarters are FLARED adding to what you are perceiving as the rear rims being smaller...
The hood was a hand laid carbon fiber hood that he designed and, whether you like it or not, was good enough for Harwood to steal and reproduce after the car won SLP Day in Orlando (pic was taken at the show, same day)...
Eventually the hood was painted body color...
It's also the only Targa topped Camaro I know of and is without a doubt the first on any of these message boards...
And to Brangeta... What did you want him to do, mold the side GFX into the door
?!?! In case you still can't picture it, THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN IF HE DID THAT....

He may very well know whose car it is, but just because he's a highly renowned and very innovative modifier, not everybody has to like his work. I personally like the car, but I only liked the hood after it was painted. He didn't say the hood itself was ugly, just that it looked mismatched. When I said that the hood was CF, he just said that raw carbon fiber is unappealing to him, as it is to me. There's no need to go on a defensive tirade because he stated his opinions.

Hee, hee! Could be, but I doubt you would know.
Now it's my turn, "Wow", that's a lot of people!
Hmmm, must be an A$$load of people with ugly cars?? Funny you should have used that word, as I was originally going to say it was BUTT ugly!!
Aw, thanks.
An A$$load!!!
You weren't the one that took the picture, were you?
If not liking the picture of this car makes me ignorant, I'll be happy to remain that way!!!
Anyone who's been on this or any other site for more than a week knows that car and the creator
An A$$load of people have mods on their car NAMED after him ("Whistler" modded headlights)...:
You seem not to know so I'll answer the retarded accusations:

+1, one of my faves. 5.0LiterEater's car is exactly how I'd want to do a NBM Z/28. I almost regret having an SS because I can't run a cowl induction hood. 
It's also that pic that led me to ditching my boring silver billet and running the black billet with the blue Bowtie. Totally changed the look of the car. As soon as I swap out for the gray SS badges instead of the stock red ones it'll be done for the body.
BTW, Whistler's car was posted page 3.
