Hmm all that carbon in the front makes it look cheap to me. The wheels with the tall beefy tires looks odd and then those amber rear tails off an older 250/350 is ugly!

Only reason I would buy that is to get it off the streets for good

If it comes with all the original fenders and hood it's a great deal! Swap the parts and sell the CF parts to by another set if wheels and your golden!

It's not my style but again it's not my car so it's not my choice. Who ever purchases it is getting a good deal either way.

I would aim for something that's a bit more subtle.

Haha I agree. Definately ruins the flow of the body lines.

I def. agree! And the ISx50 lights tell me whoever put it in, didn't have a care for the car which brings up a lot of bad asumptions.
