The interior looks like crap..although it's not the average 951 on the outside.

Quoted from the description:
"THE CAR IS ABOUT 500 LBS LIGHTER THAN STOCK WITCH GIVES AROUND AN EXTRA 50HP TO THE WHEELS."

Wow, I need to take some crap outta my car so my engine will produce more power!!!! So maybe my mini-spare would give me ~5 hp!? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed the white on all the fiberglass parts front and rear clearly does not match the rest of the car. Looks ok, but this is clearly a car you would need to talk with the owner before buying to decide if he is a schmuck or not.

A few to many spelling and grammar errors for me. Is the fiberglass just the original gel color?

What's the need for the big hood scoop? Perhaps to create upforce or an overpressure in the engine compartment?

Well, someone just recently did th emath that if htey lost 400 pounds it would be about the same as a 40 hp increase. Yes it isn't to the wheels, but it certainly adds overall power.

Where exactly did this "500 lbs" come from? The subwoofer holes? Seems like 100 lbs have been added in fiberglass tack-ons.

Not to split hairs - but decreasing weight does not add power. It can improve performance (not power).

And it is not a race car. Where is the cage and the harnesses? It looks more like - dare I say it? Rice. Maybe "kraut" is a better term.

Oh - and what's up with the driver's side floor mat? Covers half of the gas pedal. Wonder what's under that?!

Buyer beware.

My biggest concern would be the engine bay. That air filter looks like it hasn't been changed in a long long long long long time.

I tried to put a subwoofer box there, and unless he cut some metal, the box will not fit there without sticking up if it's the proper size!
