To get this car back to stock looks like you just need new fenders, taillights, remove the ugly yellow from the headlights, and a repaint as long as there are no hidden structural or mechanical problems. I think most are just poking you and having little fun or over exaggerating. I personally like the rocket bunny kit V1 its nice when done tastefully and when the fenders are molded so there are not rivets showing like this build.
Edit: And if you plan on going the rocket bunny route keep the fenders if you buy new ones you just end up cutting them again.
