Id rather see the "donor" car being restored to its factory glory, or turned into a monster unique to itself. Not to try & copy its brother on the assembly line.

I agree with this sentiment. I can appreciate the effort that goes into building one and that it might be the only way for the owners to have a piece of the GT history. But the looks and admiration can also be gleamed from a well sorted and built custom car too that is a direct reflection of the owner.
Thus I like them, but too much of a good thing can erode the "aaahhh yeah, check the GT" moments to a "is that the real deal" moment...
Bit like having a cardboard cut out of Megan Gale - she looks good, makes you hard thinkin about her, but you know that you'll never be able to really have her.
