Nice car, but I don't think it worth that kind of money. I agree Jay, and it has clamps! It should be welded for a nice clean job.

Considering how the rearend was tucked, there probably isn't much room above the housing for exhaust.

The stance of the car compliments the wheels. It doesn't look 4wd.

I like it. *It does need some paint daubs on the swaybar though* j/k

After thinking more about it, even if the rear was tucked way up there, they should have been able to route the pipes up and over. I take it back.

I still like the looks of the car.

Rear wheels are too large/mismatched to me. The super-oversize rear wheels scream "1980s Car Craft Pro Street!!" Should be larger wheels in the rear, sure, but not that big a disparity.....

Its a nitpick, though.....I wouldnt kick it outta my bed, uh, garage.....

I'd like to see wider wheels on front. It looks like one of those "mean machines" you see in the toy department. Excellent looking car besides that.

That is a great lookin car!

As far as the exhaust goes, they should've just routed it out the side. Problem solved. Otherwise, there is very little I'd want to change about this car.

I'd like to see some more detailed pics of how they handled the interior panels. It looks as though the rear seat back has been narrowed, and the interior 1/4 panels have a flare molded into them to accomodate those tubs. Very slick.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the "deep dish" in the rear with the standard in the front. I think if they would have matched the "dish" of the rim it wouldn't look so wonky

I'd like to see it with the front wheels turned. With that much tuck, they've got to hit.

The 7" wheel with 225s will clear just fine. That's very similar to my front setup and I went with that so I could "tuck 'em" without rubbing at turn. Of course you don't wanna cut it and rip it over a speed bump or something.

Neat looking car, but that's already a ridiculous price.

Note the multiple bids from "eurosportnw." Strange that this buyer is also in that area of the USA and has only been an ebay buyer once in the past 4 yrs of his/her ebay history.....Stinks to high heaven of a shill bidder, if you ask me!! :nono:
