I like the body kit, not a fan of the wheels...but I do like the blacked out tail lamps!

I like those rims, without the rivets, just because they look light as hell!

Imagine that thing on your rear view mirror flashing its light so that you move over....

I dig it! But it needs bigger brakes.

And I agree Paul, it does have a little Koenig in it! (Reminds me more of the Koenig 928!)

Absolutely hate the wheels and the tiny rotors inside of them... But the rest looks pretty decent.

I like it, but it needs different wheels. Makes me think of a DTM Merc.



With the right wheels I think it could look pretty sweet.

If it had DTM sized wheels and tires, it might be more fitting. Just with the cartoonish wheels and super wide kit, the *** end just looks weird from a side profile.

I agree, it's all in the wheels.

I like it especially if it had appropriate wheels tires and brakes and the 800hp they "say" they are putting in. And I had a full time auto detailer on retainer to keep it clean, blacks not for me if I want to drive the thing and I would.

The cave man side of my brain says i like it, but the logical ( at times) side says it is too much too handle. What else can i say, this car belongs to the excessive kind of a guy. Ain't me even though i'm getting my third set of wheels in 800 miles.

I saw it in person and love it. Pictures don't do it justice.

Needs lower profile tyres though!
I hate everything and anything that comes out from GAS... they sure know how to "pimp" out rides and make them non-practical...

I think it looks nice...wheels are a little much but the only prob I saw is the brakes should have been much bigger with those wheels.

If your car and this GAS car was parked next to each other... I take photos of your car over the wide body freak any day!

Wide bodies belong on rear engine cars if they are done. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should.

I can appreciate its a SEMA car and they've got to do something new and original outside the box, but no. Not this.

And have the decency to put some bigger brakes on. The brakes on those wheels looks like every Caprice around here running 24's.

I appreciate the craftsmanship it took to build it, and I think the side scoop looks cool. But is it a better car than stock? It might be fun on a race track, but I wouldn't want to drive it on the street.

i think it looks pretty dumb. the worst part is definitly the wheels. I think the front looks horrible head on with the wide body just sticking out. Itd look mean if it had some 17s and with some thick tires hahaha
