    What is even more ironic is the fact that there are certain members of this site that have sourced hard to get emblems and lights from www.kitcars.com because the parts can't be found anywhere else, no longer produced, in stock or are rediculously priced.

    Paul, if that is a friend of yours that drives that poor red Viper next to you, please smash that fugly wing off of the back of his car. If he is truly a friend, you owe it to him. In a few years show him the pictures of the car with the hideous bike rack looking parasite hanging off of the back of his car. Eventually, when he comes to his senses, he'll thank you.

    I agree, at that angle it doesn't look too cool.... but I do like the wing on the car in general. Just different strokes for different folks. Here's the better angle so you may see what I am talking about.

    that's fairly new isn't it?

    the purvis eureka's been around since the 70's, likely 60's in concept form.

    fancy that, a lambo (or whatever) selling a kit-car version of an old aussie vehicle... :D

    Oh, just lovely!

    I would really like to know what the heck some people are thinking putting out this crap. Do they really think it looks close to the real thing? Do they think it looks better? I mean, why do they waste their time. I assume it took "some" time to create this...this...thing!?!

    Your country is full of too many people with too many tools with too much time on their hand. YIKES!

    That explains it!
    They built it there, while someone held up a picture of the real one in the US.
    I think they were squinting too much. |)

    YIKES!!!

    Without that C pillar seam it looks better than the real thing!

    (Wes prepares to be shot)

    But seriously, I would really like to know what the thinking is behind the bad ones. Why do they do them? Do they get half way through and say "sheesh, what a piece of crap...what do I do now? Oh well, I may as well finish 'er off, but first, one more drink and I'll finish off the rest of this case.
