looks like the owner realized he paid too much for what it is and is trying to get out of it. it didn't meet reserve and i doubt it's ever going to get more than was bid this time.

Yup, and this is the challenge with buying a car over the internet. Seeing a car in person can help to avoid a lot of obvious red flags, especially when the pictures mostly lean on an "artistic" angle VS basic pic

OOF.

Look like it could have been a salvaged survivor.

The paint (like how is there recent overspray everywhere, yet the hood is peeling by the badge and door edges/quarter/etc are all messed up) and that MT2 rep kit looks reallllly rough in the pics. Taifun front end is fun, but a little weird - but easy to fix.

The seats look spectacular, but then what the fuck is going on with that shifter, hood badges, no washer bottle cap... easy shit to fix, so why skip the cheap stuff?

That is shockingly bad, wow.

Which M tech replica kit is that? The front end looks pretty bad in pictures so it must look bad in person. I do think that with a reasonable drop and some round head lights it might look pretty decent from 20'.

[moatilliatta]

It looks like the sides are glued on, so will just crack off.

There's some ebay listing screenshot in the pictures. Kit was apparently $1500 in April of this year, but you can see the sort of yellow fiberglass backside in the tiny picture...

Not worth whatever savings there was over the Mrbodykits/garagistic/CAtuned stuff.

sorry for the .ca link but this matches. A few other sellers out there too.

Actually hilarious because I bought from one of the other sellers that came up - a 4-dr kit in 2021 during covid for my shitbox, but they cancelled the order saying something like their shipper couldn't ship right now lol... bullet dodged I guess?
