Don't delay... hurry up & bid!

I kind of like it. I would never spend that kind of money to build one for myself, but I think it looks good.

He must have read the book "101 Ways to Destroy a 911". And we wonder why the country is in a mortgage lending crisis? This was the type of individuals that originated mortgage loans; more money than brains. Strip the interior and it might make an interesting track car...at least you'll get the other driver's attention.

I don't see how a paintjob can cost $34K...

I think when you go with bright green (IF you go with bright green) you have to have black interior.

The tail lights make it look extra cheesy, It's not terrible but if he truly has 200K in it then I can't see the logic.

[RandallNeighbour]

I dunno... I think if I went with that green on the outside, I'd take a little of the puke that just came up and color match it for a new interior in puke color... which would hide the stains for everyone who saw the car and rode in it.

Yup. You're looking at a future track car.

Aw, geeeez, man. That is just sooo not my taste. The body color, the wing, the tri-tone interior in totally different, non-complimenting hues...
If I had 200k I could almost pay off my house. Now THAT would be kewl.
Or paint it in 17 layers of House of Kolor lime time green.
Hmmmmm. That's a thought.

I can believe 34k for a complete paint job, looks like it was done right. And if you want to stand out then that color will work. Not really a show car imo as he claims, beyond the paint, the body upgrades and the interior accents it's not show worthy in any category. Too flashy for stock, not modded enough to truly be custom. At the very least it should be lowered, look at the wheel gap!

It'll never be mistaken for a GT3 by anyone who knows what they look like.

I actually like it, I'm a little embarrassed to admit.

$34k for a paint job, I can see how it cost that much if they took the car apart and painted under the interior, inside the doors, inside the engine bay, and whatnot, it's basically rebuilding the car. I just don't see doing that on a car that is intended to be driven on a road, as opposed to one that is meant to sit on a trailer and only come out for shows.

[FTD]

I see your point about that color on a track. Especially if the exterior were enhanced with some same hue blue and yellow, and the body had vendor stickers/decals on it. [don't know the right name for that stuff] But the interior has no recovery.
