Default "Replica" 911R on eBay

Surprised I didn't see this on here already...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Porsch...gAAOSwUchaDuYR

Looks like a base 2013 911 with a salvage title - not sure who would pay this much for a salvage title car that LOOKS like a 2016 911R but to each his/her own. Personally, I think the centerlock wheels w/ the huge PCCB calipers are one of the best looking parts of the 911R (not to mention they don't even have the sport exhaust on this). I have to admit, the rear bumper looks well done for a 'narrow body'

There is just something about a fake car that is a little annoying to me.

Looks ok, but the 911R badges are a step too far, I think.

Pity the guy who buys this, especially from Wicked.

It's a Wicked car. Would not buy a cup holder from them based on their reputation.

Wouldn’t necessarily have anything against it if it didn’t have the “R” badging or stickers.

Its a Wicked car and we know their reputation.

That being said, remove the R badge, and its pretty cool. Really, no different than the thousands of "tribute RS/R/S" air cooled cars roaming the streets.

Wicked has a bad rep but the hood and roof look cool in the pics. They should have deleted the sunroof switches inside.

This is what Wicked says on their website. Was this all the damage there was to make this a salvaged car or is there something they're not telling us?

"This vehicle came to us with slight damage to the front right corner of the vehicle. The damage was confined to the following parts, The front right corner of the front bumper, the front tight headlight the front right radiator and the front right AC condenser, the airbags were not deployed. We replaced the damaged parts with OEM factory parts, and since this vehicle was a very low mileage, 7- speed manual vehicle, we thought it would be a great candidate for out 2016 Porsche 911R body conversions."

I understand aspects of what they've done.
  • Engine lid: very cool.
  • Front bumper: sure, why not?
  • Badges? Time to puke.
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
