Ferrari is notoriously gung-ho about going after people who put their badges on not their cars. When searching for kit cars on eBay, you'll see things like "F3RR@RI", with all the badges blurred out, because Ferrari will go after them.

Lamborghini, on the other hand, has never seemed to care.

Kit cars have always interested me, and some Lamborghini replicas are very well done. This is not one of them.

There are two kinds of Fiero based Lamborghini replicas- ones with stretched frames, and one with the stock frame length. Good replicas have the frame stretched to actual Lamborghini proportions. Bad replicas squeeze and scale down the Lamborghini shape to Fiero size, which looks awkward, horrible, and above all, fake.

This appears to be based off the unmodified Fiero chassis. I don't know why anyone would bother recreating the Reventon when it is inevitably going to look completely fake and horrible, as it is doomed to squished proportions.

I'd say this was a bit more than a sticker...

This is pure awesome. I hope he puts a Daewoo badge on it or something.

Not sure on that one. Looks like he fabbed the gauge panel as well. If he re-skins the gauges or gets replica ones, it should look pretty well. I'll hold judgement until the paint goes on, most projects look pretty bad when they're still in the welding stage.

obviously, you just give your opinion rather than fact.

Car is weighing in UNDER 3500lbs finished, and only cost the guy $60 to start - inside the car he found $24 dollars, so now his net effect was under $36 for the car. Waste of money? Doubtful.

This guy has more skill than money, NOT the other way around - which is why he is building his "woodghini" (his name is woody).

There is also something to be said for creating something out of nothing. Yeah any rich boy can go buy a car. But can they build one?
