The paint job is probably more expensive than the donor car. I looked into that paint on a previous car until I saw the cost was off the chart. But then again that was when everyone was using the half dozen credit cards that came in the mail to modify every car on the block. Those shops were booked solid. Not so much now.
As for the this Boxsterini, the moment I saw the interior a feeling came over like if a hot girl took off her dress only to reveal that she was covered head to toe in Spanx and her top was stuffed with oranges. Talk about false advertising..

The car is neither a Lambo or Boxster...can't figure out why someone would want to do this to a Boxster....to each his own....I guess...

You know, for a kit car, that's not bad. Looks fairly authentic and the exhaust sounds good too. I wouldn't pay $65k for it though. Shoot... for that money you could have a low mileage, pristine 996TT!

I've never understood the reasoning behind why people do this stuff. Granted, in this case, it's on a Porsche and not Fiero, but still, all show and no go (compared to what it's supposed to have).

I'm cool with people who want ridiculous body kits and/or ridiculous paint, but what's the point in trying to make something into something that it's just not? While that car may pass as a Lambo from 10 feet away, as soon as anyone who knew anything about cars got inside, you'd look pretty damn stupid.

Here's the best part, quoted from the company website who is selling the thing:

"Ask anyone young or old what a Lamborghini is and odds are they will know. Lamborghini's continue to stand as one of the top exotic cars in the world. From the US to Italy everyone know of the speed and luxury that Lambo's exhibit. However, another well known fact is their price tag. For about $430,000 you yourself could buy a REAL 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago. For another $25,000 a year you could even afford to maintain it! A little out of your price range? Well fear not because even though this Lambo sounds, looks and drives like one from the factory, it isn't."

Ya, I bet it does
