    I'd take it over 95% of the cars on this board.

      guess where all his money went? :D :D
      They aren't sweats, there are more pics of him with the car, they are really baggy jeans. As if what you wear matters in correlation to what you drive.
      Especially if you're driving THAT.

        That is insane. I can dig it for its cleanliness and attention to detail. That man is a dope dealer.

          paid in full style..

          i like it besides the testarossa sides, angel eyes, and the other little things ppl mentioned. color is tight, and interior looks real nice.

            ditch the lights ferrari sides and mirrors, get rid of the bling under the hood drop in alexMC's motor and you are set.

              Daddy B's got some trick bodywork. I give him credit for the amount of money he dropped on the car, it looks like quality work. Must be a stretch to bore a 2.5 to 2.9 ;)

                IMHO, with the exception of the decals, I think the car is very well done. I've seen Rieger's Genesis car and I'm not really into the artwork that's painted onto it. Too many of the cholos in tha Bay Area do that to their cadillacs and other little beaters that aren't worth a dime. I think it makes the car look cheap.

                I think that for the kit he chose, he did an excellent job of presenting it. This car has a serious amount of money into it for body work and paint, not to mention that I think he did a great job with the interior. I understand now that the rear headrest monitors are for shows only (though I still don't get why you would waste money on that). Overall, I think BootyMan got what he was after, the car looks great, and if he's happy with it...awesome! He gets my :up:

                  There are things i DO like such as: the wheels are cool, the paint looks to be quality, and the attention to detail is excessive, the fit and finish "look" to be of quality, even the exhaust looks kinda cool. I was hoping for a hella lot more motor with all that extravagance. It's okay to look that way if you can back up the show with some go. Overall, i wouldn't have the car, but to each his own. He definitely has put a truck load of money into it.

                        yup tone down the Miami vice on the side and it would look pretty good.

                          Testarossa sides and rear wing just don't do it for me, but the car was built for show so overall it's cleanly executed.

                            From the side and 3/4 views I don't like it, but from head on and tail on I love it. The interior is sweet too, and the engine bay is 10x cleaner than Jordan's.

                              I like the coolant overflow tank cover, i'll take it in flat black though.

                                That's one hell of a show car. I give it a hardcore thumbs up. I don't like the chrome reflectors in those headlights and that car is begging for a real engine, but other than that, I think it's pretty amazing.
