If you can scan the photograph instead, I think this would help. There's something in the background (looks to be a fence or part of the yard of the house) which is conflicting with the hood line of the car.

Is it just me or does it look like the top of the doors are sitting too low and don't really align with the screen? Looks like the screen is sitting too high or maybe it's the changes to the A pillars that is causing this optical illusion??
Really neat show car but just not what I'm into and...
