Wow, that's so umm...wicked! I'm so ecstatic the next 911 -- the not yet revealed 2010 998 (because Wicked always likes to stay a year or two ahead of the industry) -- will have a 996 interior.

Leave it to Wicked....

At least put in an upgraded shifter and handbrake on the old style interior, and replace the peeling left/right a/c vent housings. Ouch.

Think they could have extended the front end a little more?

I have to say, I also was struck by the adjective "wicked" That summed it all.

Any of you who buy one of their creations gets what you deserve.

HOW these idiots are in business is beyond me.

I just checked out their website. Looks like a majority of their wickedly ugly creations are salvaged.

There was an old discussion on 6 speed on these guys a while ago. The owner came on and tried to defend his company's practice of refurbishing salvage title 996s with 997 facia, and -- like the steering wheel guy on RL -- just dug the hole deeper. The thread was shut down bc the dude wasn't a sponsor. But a lot of people there thought the cars sucked and the sales practices were shady.

They do disclose that the cars have salvage title and that they are based off the 996 car. If I would be selling, I would not be comfortable saying that I can't guarantee a car has been in an accident, though, when the car has a salvage title. If the car has a salvage title, then the odds seem pretty high the car has been in accident, right? At any rate, I don't get why anyone would buy a vulgar ersatz 997 or "998" that is based off a car with a salvage title. But they are still in business for some reason, as Stoppie says ... Oh, and $94K for an '01 turbo. LOL.
