Nice work.

I hate it on principle.

Never dress something up as something it is not. If they hadn't put the turbo emblem and sill plates on it I'd probably applaud their time, money and effort, but having dressed this lamb up as mutton they've just created a cheap ***** covered in too much make-up.

Nice poseur mobile. It will fit right in there in Hollywood. It seems to be a lot of work to change a 99 to a 04. After all that work the car is still appears to be at least 5 years old.

Yeah, that did occur to me also... pretty funny that they spent all that money, then left a dead give away right in front of the driver.

Just looks like the same as your set up to me - and that's not bad, just pointing it out

LOL

$22k in upgrades to do that? Why not put the money towards an S/C? Sure the turbo look looks sharp... but the turbo door sills and rear tag? Who is the seller trying to fool and why?

amazingly well done (the exterior) wonder why?? The even changed the rear fenders and tail lights. The steering change would have been the cheapest option to replace!!
As for as poseur mobile....in the end who give an F?? Even a regular 911 is faster than most other cars.

I just don't understand why.... I did my front fender and lights, bumper front and rear, but this is bolt on work.....doing the rear fenders need actual welding etc!! Must have cost a fortune.
