i dont see how it is illegal, granted they cant start a factory and sell them with that design due to copyright and patent infringements, but I dont see the problem to building your own car.

its more of a ludicrous waste of money rather than illegal

You can say the same thing for pretty much any mod an owner puts here on SL. I know my box in particular is fast becoming a money pit. Oh well, beats owning a boat.

I hadn't noticed it before but not that I look at it. The Lamborghini Reventon looks like a sported up Batmobile.

It's not illegal. It gets registered as the vehicle it was, so insurance wise, this thing will be cheap to cover.

Of course, it won't have the same performance, but I live by a Ferrari dealership that happens to sell Lotus and Maserati - I've never once seen anyone open those things up on the open road or the highway.

as cool as that is. It'll only look like a lambo however it'll never actually be one. Kinda like putting stickers to stuff you don't have on ur car

Wow, that is impressive for someone to do at their leisure.

But this should probably be moved.

Wow he has a lot of time on his hands, pretty cool but like someone else stated it will never be a lambo. You can also tell its a fake pretty fast by looking at the gauge cluster.
