I'm tempted to get this to just get the kit and wheels. It's not a cheap kit and you get a parts car for free. Makes for a mean looking coup.


Bid starts at under $8K but he has a reserve so I expect he wants more which is why I'll likely not play. Still not a bad look.

It does indeed. Looks more like the 2007+ coupes with the kit. It will be interesting to see what it sells for.

 

Looks like a nice blend of the two designs. I looked at buying this kit but it was wicked expensive to get out of Europe. I got my rear spoiler from them.

 

I like the deep dish wheel look, but hate that the tires look too narrow for the wheels. While I am normally a very pro-wood dash guy, on this car it seems very out of place and I am curious why the inside is untouched.

 

The body work likely set him back $15K to $20K and that's a lot for that car. But agree if you are going to do so much work on the outside why not do the inside?

 

Who is the manufacturer of this body kit?

 

YUCK kills the sexy look of the car.

 

Funny coincidence. I was driving around yesterday and caught a glimpse of a similar looking coupe with body kit. The color was a greenish metallic that was almost a dark turquoise--I think I had also seen this car a the local independent I sometimes use. Anyway the kit happens to look pretty decent on the car and almost looks OEM rather than tack-on.

As this discussion is still running, I've grabbed the photos off ebay before they disappear.
