thousands upon thousands of dollars of work and you just hacked the stock steering wheel all half-assed and left the stock shifter alone.

car looks ok...def not for me...but if you want full out custom...you need to deal with a few issues.

i was always told if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. BUT, considering i have a BIG MOUTH, i think its way too overboard. just bad colors, looks bad with the speakers in the bumpers, interiors like this have been done a thousand times, and its just ugly. well thats just my honest opinion. but if it makes you happy keep doing it. best of luck with the car.

Isn't that the problem with spending thousands of dollars and hours on show car styling? It's a fashion industry -- It's like spending 40 grand on acid washed jeans in 1990 or on Bell bottoms in 1982. Remember now, the Fast and the Furious came out 7 years ago.

Just the word "Lambo-doors" make me cringe

I saw this car on eBay. The minimum bid was $45,000 and the "Buy it now" price was $60,000. Maybe I'm a little cheap, but that seems kinda high.

Never mind, looks like he lowered it to $35,000. I guess there were no takers, huh?

    Yeah, I saw it on there not too long ago, by the dealership. Someone had slammed the rear hatch and cracked some of the fiberglass work.

    Wow that sucks. Once you sell it the next owners never take care of it the way the you did. The only way to truly appreciate it is if you put in the work and time.
