The wheels destroy the look for me and it's not wide body (I don't think). I admire the desire but it's not cutting it and trying to be too close when it never will be close enough. It's only another few hundred pound please fit a set of darker rear lights. I love the look of the R, they look very cool unstriped too, it's the combination of height, wheels and so on. This car doesn't cut it from that 'stance' perspective

I'm all for a homage car with the aero bits and grill. But I would stop at the R badging part and maybe even the strips. It would be a great looking car without those bits.

Honestly, the most offensive thing to me is the steering wheel. Spent all of that money and didn't even spring for a sport steering wheel. Amateurs
Agreed - frunk lid, engine lid, roof, even rear bumper (on a narrow body)? Actually neat-looking. Steering wheel, wheels, sunroof button oversight, and ugh - the badges? Epic FAIL. This is also a 3.4, far as I can tell, so price accordingly....

Appears to have been a full repaint to white plus faking the PCCBs with yellow paint... but heck... once you've done the fake badge why stop there?

That's a great print out! Where can I get that for my car?

Copy and paste the following link but change the VIN to the car you are interested in (drop the quotes, I put them there to prevent this from becoming a link). When the print window shows up, you can either "print" it to a PDF or printer... or cancel the print and take a screenshot of the resulting window. It works for most North American cars.

I was not 3.4 bashing...on the contrary, great motor... My point is that the cost of the “donor” car needs to be taken into consideration when determining overall value and 90k is pretty ballsy to ask. I would happily add a 7spd 3.4 to my stable, my wife would never allow it (too many cars, not enough space

Curious to know the extent of the rear-end damage, which was not disclosed by Wicked.

Found some more photos after digging around a bit. I wonder why the lower passenger side door trim is off the car in the heap... you can just see it missing in the side photo.
