    I'm willing to bet that said owner has an excellent mullet & a vast collection of 80's hard rock cassettes.

    I kinda like the nose.. but the graphics would have to go. If I bought it, the car would not even be driven to the paintshop, it would get taken by flatbed to avoid the embarissment of being seen in something like that

    Why are custom wheels so ugly now? We won't even get into the paint. It just goes to show that money does not automatically confer good taste.

    20 Grand? Does it come with the key of coke stowed in the front bumper?

    The only part I like is the paint, but I am of a certain age....The part I can never understand is the body kits. I have never seen any aftermarket (particularly Japanese) body kit that improves the look of a car. EVER.

    I agree.. Enkei used to have some wonderfully light and pretty wheel designs.. they still do.. but only on the high end stuff.. the rest is ugly crap

    that is logical, Stuart.. who says that CL ads have ANYTHING to do with logic. I think those ads get pulled automatically

    Kinda figures he would want to trade for a Harley...

    I don't usually like harleys.. (I would probably like them more if at least 10% of them had mufflers) but I kinda feel sorry for whatever bike he buys

    +1 on the nose. Other than that, enclosed trailer to the paint booth.

    3 cans of spray paint and a set of "moon" hub caps would make that drivable.

    Actually, I don't hate the overall shape, nose or tail. It would be fine in a decent, single color, or maybe with some simple geometric racecar graphics. What I hate is the overdone paint job, the snakeskin, and those FUGLY wheels.

    nose -- okeh

    wheels -- fail

    tail (can't see the complete backside) -- fail

    interior -- fail

    paint -- some okeh, some fail.......mostly fail

    No pics of engine, so I bet nothing detailed there.
