    Thanks.

    Maybe the wheels make it look weird ? But the front looks very goofy/inflated.

    I think it looks pretty authentic. If anything, the wheels make it look a little funny...I'm sure the guru's will chime in shortly and start commenting on the angle of the windshield, etc. but it looks real to me--if not, it's a damn good fake.

    Kit car. Wrong front, wrong rear quarter panels, wrong rims, wrong interior, etc.

    The car looks too small overall in my opinion.

    Correct, it is a normal Diablo with a GT bodykit, aftermarket paint job and wheels

    It is a good point Parallel Design does not offer the engine lid. Maybe the rims with skinny tires lead me believe it is not a genuine Diablo.
    I also see there are some white color stone chips at the front bumper. Isn't the original GT bumper is made of carbon fiber?

    Sometimes people don't go with wide enough tires for the wheels - hence the skinny tires look.

    It is a real Diablo, in no way a kit. Its just been heavily modded by a modeification enthusiast, probably from Japan!

    nope not japan

    i would say that its the kit that parelel designes has on offer... they do have gt parts that are made only of fiber glass... and it looks like there kit a bit more bulkier than a CF product...there parts can fit original diablo's...

    but i found that the owner of paralel designes is biased... charging kit car owners and original diablo owners difrently... wich is stupid... my view..

    but i have to say that paralel makes one convincing kit car..... makes you wish all of the kit makers were the same quality...

    i dont like kitty cars... but lets be honest, the fiero bastard most of the use is just soo not close to a lambo
