Default Wicked Motor Works "GT3RS clone" $77k opinions?

Here's an interesting topic: Wicked Motor Sports appears to take salvage cars and do crazy wide-body mods to them. This car supposedly has a clean title and was blue originally. Now it's white and a GT3RS clone.

This car is sold, and frankly I had no interest in it anyway. But I'm always curious about how people carve out a business....which they appear to have done.

neat if you want something ugly to look at. Will fall apart if you drive it. Maybe blow up.

The link no longer works...

With this much bad publicity, I figured it was at least worth a look. Who doesn't love a good train wreck? (other than the people on the train, of course)

Their parts are just as costly as some oem parts. I can't imagine the quality to be on par.

This one is particularly hideous:

Also, pretty false advertising:

We built this custom 991 GT3RS Cabriolet for a client on the East coast, call us to have us build the personalized custom Porsche of your dreams.

Has stock Carrera suspension and motor...it is certainly not any kind of GT3 RS.

Sad that people do this.

A guy from Wicked came roaring through my neighborhood in Sherman Oaks. It's a quiet Tree lined all single family area and he was doing around 60. Kids were walking home from the middle school at the time so I yelled at him to slow down he came back and gave me attitude. No problem I called the cops and gave them his license plate number . With his attitude I can't imagine being a customer and having a problem with something I'd purchased from him.
