Default $100k body kit

Just came across this url:
http://www.wickedmotorworks.com/card...hp?carid=10138

The wait is over, you can get 918 look on your Boxster for $100k, I just laughed so hard that my wife was looking at like I'm a weirdo.

Copyright infringement? I wonder...

I think my gold chains are down a little in value, so no.

Yes, ..we are living in a strange era, where people are setting companies called "Fuchs" ..to produce and sell rims that are (bad, imo) carbon copies of the original Porsche Fuchs wheels !
..And some others are selling Gruyère ..from Wisconsin !
Fyi, Gruyère is the name of a (very nice) town in Switzerland, near Bern, where, in a very well defined and controlled area, cow owners are authorized to produce with their milk a cheese that is named "Gruyère". This name (AC, for Appelation Controllée or controled name).
...But today, who do respect that ?
So, in my opinion, if a Boxster will carry the skirt of a 918, who is going to care ? This is just the question of counting "thumbs up", right ?

I'm just surprised there is a such company who is willing to sell a kit for $100k.
I meant, yeah, I love my soon to be 10yrs old Boxster (FWIW, I don't even own one), I can't let go and plan to spend $100k to give a top refresh to make it look like 918.

Really? Give me a break.......
This company is just out of the line, my undergrad Econ_101 prof told us many many times the importance of targeting the right product for the right market and price.
Let me put it this way, first off, those people who can afford $100k body kit don't own 986 Boxster, rather they own something higher end vehicles.

I just don't get it.

The kit is also allegedly based on a 981. I don't believe they actually have a kit made.
