Lamborghini Murcielago body kit

With as cheap as used F body's are, this is very tempting

What do you use for lights and trim. I assume all lambo stuff? I can see that project getting pricy in a hurry.

Would be really fun to build a custom tube frame with that body.

Huh, I had no idea that such an animal existed.

I wonder what the finished product looks like?

It looks like a startled catfish, which is appropriate considering the donor

In reply to Jumper K. Balls:

Winner!

And I was just in Knoxville last weekend. (How different could the Imprezza be from a F body anyway?)

Stuff it all full of something obnoxious and wrong in the arse too- like a 6BT.

The perfect thing for people who think working on a 4th gen doesn't suck enough as is.

While I own one kit car, I have still always thought the super car kits installed on mundane cars were kind of pathetic. And not necessarily cheap.

You could buy Countach kits for Fieros and had to use a real Lamborghini windscreen, which often cost as much as the rest of the car, and people would still look inside the finished product and see the cheesy plastic Pontiac interior and shake their heads.

Looks like this is more of the same. We used to have a local kid with a Ferrari kit on a Volks Beetle pan, who referred to his car as "The Ferrari'. Everyone would just shake their heads and roll their eyes. My eyes are rolling at that kit.....

I was watching the Barrett-Jackson auction on TV this weekend, and someone was selling a Corvette with a pretty bad Testarossa body kit. Plus, it was painted in that silly chameleon paint that was all the rage for about 5 minutes, so that from one angle it was muddy brown and from another angle it was muddy green.

They claimed some huge amount of money had been invested in the car, and it sold for some fraction of that amount.

Would it have sold for more if it had Granada guts?

The answer is no, but its not the Granada's fault.
