I'm not such a fan of aftermarket body parts as they usually make the car look "Frankenstien-ish". However, this one was done really, really, well and makes it unique. The rear end looks fantastic. I'd love to see it some other colors. White isn't always the best choice to show body lines.

So I count

$43k for the body. And that doesn't include the base car. Then paint. Then engine. Then suspension. Then brakes. Then interior.

You could damn near buy a new car for as much money as that must cost all in?

Man, you gotta be the ultimate poseur to green light something like this.

The company is based in Canada, so I guess they appeal to hoser poseurs, eh?

Just sayin'.............

Considering the car is right-hand drive and the European license plate in the one photo, I would say a better assumption would be the company is based in the U.K....

No, 43k to take your base car and have it completed including the $18k for the body kit, and the rest for interior parts kit, sourcing the genuine lights/glass etc, fitting everything, interior trimming and paint.

Agreed. Gotta wonder how much weight this added to the car...with all the plastic and filler. One fender bumper and you've got some seriously expensive repairs too.
