Default 5th gen Prelude with S14 front

So I have a link here that apparently features a 1998 Prelude with an S14 front end conversion.

I really have not heard of such a thing being done before. I just wanted to know what you guys have to say about this:

Many on this site will hate on this lude. I think it would have been better without the S14 front end. The widebody looks good on it IMO.

Am I the only one that notices how disproportional the front end looks because it's been pulled out so far? Look at how far behind the headlights the rad support is.

I'm sure it took a lot of effort but that much overhang past the front wheels looks really, really strange, IMO.

Looks like someone spent a lot of time to make a show-only car. There's tons of these....

I like how honda-tech can't appreciate hard work at all. I am not trying to say I would roll around in this but it looks like a lot of work was put into this thing and it makes a good show car.

Kinda wish there were more photos of this thing.

For a body/swapped car like that; it looks really well done.
