Impressive bodywork skills but I hate it.

Funny how so many custom builders like to make trick doors out of ordinary ones where with the RX8, they seem to like to turn it BACK to standard!!! Another pimped 2 door coupe, yawn.

Needs better wheel fitment. I feel like it would look a lot better if it had wider rears, looks tacky right now.

Not a chance in hell. You could buy SO many well sorted performance production cars for that money. Thing I don't like about these kind of custom jobs is they've not thought about using is in everyday life. Look at the rear bumper for example, it's been totaly blended into the rest of the bodywork so if some clown in a carpark gives it a scrape, you got to respray the entire rear half of the car!

I would pay 10k for this car. I think the body work is impressive, retarded, but impressive. It would be neat owning it. I hate that they tried to make it look like a lotus. so dumb.

Monchie!!!

I hate it...he put all that money into it just to devalue it, especially with the custom paint job...seriously..some Florida advertiser needs to buy this car and slap some graphics on it---Tropicana, Sunkist...something..

I'm just curious on whats going to happen with it, and how much will it go to...

I don't think the seller will accept those offers...unless someone offers what the seller really wants...idk

All that money invested into a base, with no motor work, kinda seems like a waste but to each his own, I doubt it will go over 10K

I don't get anyone that puts 40K investment into a car that has a salvage title

Thread closed.

Monchie, stop posting updates of the car's status on ebay. It implies that you are trying to market it for the seller. I am only leaving the original ebay link because it has ended and is not an active auction.

Don't post it again.
