Streetbeasts fraud controversy

===Aesthetically incorrect body design===

===Aesthetically incorrect body design===

Below are photographs of a Street Beast on the left and steel 1934 Ford on the right.  Although some may say that the differences in the two are subtle they actually are substantial.  Perhaps the first noticeable difference is the grill.  The Street Beast grill does not even try to emulate the original.  Another major difference is the roofline. The Street Beast is chopped but has the front lower than the rear which creates a very mis-shaped window.  Also the hood sides are stylized and not even close to the original.  Finally the biggest difference is that the Street Beast is a one-piece body compared to the original steel version on the left.  This means that none of the major parts made for the original car such as hood, fenders, doors, trunk lid, running boards, grill, glass, or windshield frame will fit the Street Beast. None of these parts made by any of the aftermarket manufacturers will fit either.  The customer is "LOCKED" into returning to Street Beast for any repair parts and is therefore at the mercy of the company for not only price but delivery time for their needed parts.  Also, because the body is one piece a damaged fender can't be simply unbolted from the car and replaced with a new one.  The surgery involved is much more complicated and expensive.
