I dont understand.....i mean that is a LOT of work, and its quality as well, look at the front end, he retained the stock headliht assys(half ofthem atleast) and then completely molded the hood to the bumper and side skirts...wow
. Was he trying to turn it into the batmobile or something?
BTW the car on the left side pictures are different then the one on the right, im sure he went further with the wheel well covers and such but what does it look like now?
108k mile v8 lexus for 48k....sounds likea deal to me !!

Did they make a Lexus in 83? I think they meant 93. With that kind of attention to detail I'm sure it's a very safe altered auto. What's with the vette wannabe taillights????

The one picture where it shows the front end pretty much straight on looks sorta cool, very aggresive and shows just how much custom work and quality went into it. Very concept car looking. Like I said though, "sorta" cool, I'm not completely sure I like it.

I like where he was going with the rear end, but in the end it is too "squished" or something. The rear just ended up too narrow, almost to a point, see how the lights are a bit too close.

And with the various pictures I see three or four different versions of the car, which is the final product? For that price, I would expect a lot more pictures, and consistent ones at that.

In the end, it just emphasizes a point most of us know (and all you modding the SVX out there better remember). If you are going to spend major money on customizing a car (and I'm sure he spent over $50K on that) or adding modifications (even performance ones), you'd better be keeping the car for life and never expect to get anything more than blue book value out of a sale.
