"Awesome Show Car!" - Gotta love the seller's enthusiasm.
That said I can't tell whether I love it or hate it. I'd probably have to see it in person to really know.

ebay link. No affiliation of course.

Love it, hate it, something in between?

No ****.


Wow.

Torque tube might need to be replaced, but all the expensive stuff has been done.

I do like the wide body kit, track car?

Couldda probly spent a FEW dollars on the interior, all things considered.

Also, zero engine bay photos.

Curious why the seller took a pic of the wheel well. Looks like the caliper is missing something.....

Looks like a regular rear caliper to me, but I have not spent much time w/ my rear brakes so anything is possible.

Car looks pretty clean from the pics, but you can hide a Mack truck in small online pics like that...I like the body kit from what I can tell. It would make a really cool race car!

James, the first car I thought of was yours. It's got potential.

Yea, this car has better integration front and rear of the fender flares than my race car. I bet my car is WAY LIGHTER though! LOL! All my custom stuff on it...and that car is a street car anyway, so no comparison, but it would be a cool racer!

Cracks in some of the flares. It's very common when bonding FG to steel or Aluminum. Nothing you can do to stop it.

Agreed Doc, would make a great shell for a track car, no much else though.

Sorry, I hate it! The wokmanship looks pretty good, but the intrigation of the flares to the rest of the body leaves much to be desired. It completly destroys the smooth flowing lines of the 928. He would have been better off spending some of the money on the interior and the engine. The only part I like is the short extension of the nose piece beyond the front fog light assembly.

It just looks too..... "Fisher-Price" to me. It might float some boats, but not mine. The side shot just kills it for me. Maybe in person would be better, but I think I just threw up in my mouth a little..

you know, I think that I agree with you on this, the front view and at an angle look good, but from the side I just can't get into it. It kinda reminds me of the batmobile 928 that I saw pics of on here a while back.
