    Companys like Euroworks get there designs off the model cars along with a Cad progam.

    Only a fewer privateer companys would attempt building and molding there own bodys like IFG does.

    In this case you can clearly tell that the body was very actrate but they ended up "Shrinking" to a short wheel base and in width to (Which most companys do in order to fit a modified Fiero chassis) but they made it small enough for a stock fiero chassis.

    I don't know if you seen Kitcar mag a couple years ago where this dude up in Canada built one, it was black and very actrate to the orginal the only major diffrence was the size of the overall car but other than that think of a "Mushed" up 95 Diablo VT in black. Had popup headlamps, badass replica rims, real Diablo taillights and a modified Corvette engine. He probably could give a Gallardo a run for his money!.

    As for that exsample the reason why it looks like **** is because the builders didn't take the time to do things right insead they halfased it by using 300ZX headlamps(Bigmisstake) and APC racing seats. You can clearly tell the builder either didn't know what he or she was doing or they didn't have enough money to make things right or last but not least the car was rushed into completion(which is something that kills most kits and replicas) had the builder taken their time and maybe put in alittle more effort they would have had something atleast to be proud of.

    There is an idea. I would gladly rent a micro lambo to take it to one of the fchat events. Just for the fun factor. But then I also want to borrow the Oscar Mayer wiener mobile for a blind date,,,,,

    There is something to be said for comic relief.

    I guess there's always a market for another "Clown Car".
