Didnt the car in the movie have d90's? I dont think itll add a penny to the final sale...the car wasn't an integral part of the movie. Not to mention a dime a dozen.

Are that low-profile of tires a good idea on a car you're going to drive at all? It seems to me that if you took a good corner you'd be grinding the rims. Or am I all wet and those sidewalls are stiff enough to hold up to anything you throw at them?

Also, I remember it having some sort of side skirts or something along those lines. The body wasn't stock.

Did you watch the video? Nice sound, but that rare Fittapaldi Steering Wheel is shedding it's leather. Not that big of deal except he made it sound like it was rarer than the holy grail. Hmmmmm.....

Yes the car in the video did have side skirts and D90's. Why would you say your selling the car from the movie and make it so it don't even look like the car from the movie?

The car has too many flaws and frankly isnt worth 9k. Closer to 6-7.

I only looked at the pics, and it looks great. The rims are bad, but I personally prefer higher profile tires (looks-wise).

Ya I'm pretty sure the one in the movie had an AIR splitter, and side skirts for sure, and d90s...this guy is full of it, and his car is beat to hell...though I LOVE that steering wheel, too bad it's tearing.

Those HRE's look HOT!! I bet the wheels + tires alone were over 2 grand! I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't clarify as to whether its really in the movie. Price does seem a bit high for all the flaws.

I've seen that movie twice now in theaters and I swear the car was black, not red.
