From memory he got rid of the wing mirrors and replaced them with screens/cameras. Search maliibu's old threads, some of it is pretty interesting, even if not to my taste.

Yes I'd seen that too, but form over function. That 'bodywork' is hideous, and what to hide a little camera. If these toys were that important he could've come up with a better install.

You can say that again.

I'm sure i'd have to give my car away too.

Not to everyone's (most) tastes, but looks like a very nice job
on the tricky bodywork.

He should just keep it.

Matt,
Agreed.

I should also say I was a little harsh in my criticism. The gills and the hood are not to my taste. The quality is obvious. I stand by my words with my name.

I don't know, i see his vision, and probably rock solid reliable…yes there are some things that I would have done different. But HE finished the project and will be a steal for anyone interested….

LEDs under the hood, vision lost.

Sterling, we found a hood for you. Then sell the drive train to recoup money spent.

As of today, 48 bids, $10,600 and not hitting reserve yet . Is any of you guys bidding on this car? Are 928 prices really starting to take off that much? I think the interior is probably the biggest selling point.
