Wow, that guy's put in $40,000 worth of mods done to the ES. I gotta give it to him for going up to that level, as well as the valid reason for putting the car up on Ebay in hopes of purchasing a house. Priorities, priorities

It reminds me of Australia. Because we have a motor company called Holden.. After every Olympics, they make a limited amount of Metalic gold Holden Commodores SS"s and give them to the athletes that win a gold medal.. It has become a tradition now... So if you sit at a set of lights, and there is a bright gold Holden sitting next you, then its a gold medal winner sitting next to you.. I have only seen one in public, and that was after the Atlanta Olympics..

Will Holden export us a couple of gold GTO's?
(The Pontiac GTO, for those of you who are not aware of it, is a converted Holden Monaro with a Corvette LS-1 engine)

Cool

Agreed, even if it were bought with the insane CA retail markup, that's too much.

I bet the paint cost a pretty penny... I remember when Jeff Gordon ran The Wiston in 1998. Dupont painted his car with the color change paint. The type they used was $100 an oz at the time!!!

a real real cheap setup (not reccomended) can cost $1700.... it only goes up from there

the 2nd gen es300 cant slam to the ground worth crap... he can probably tuck the rear wheels about an inch, and have the front with no gap, his 3wheel is probably only an inch or two off the ground
