Can't wait until I can afford those!! I agree about the interior and the exhaust is "different", but I'm not sure it is my style. Those rims sure look familiar! Guess I'm on the right track Not sure about the whole carbon-fiber thing, though. It's a little too much for me. I can see a hood and maybe a hatch, but the roof and all that interior puts it a little overboard for me. Oh, and if he' really in SD I sure haven't seen him!

I was thinking of suiciding my rear doors..not sure about the scissors.. The CF is definitely interesting... though the shag on the headliner is kinda silly..Overall..awesome!

Well its a lot of work and money into that car but like above its a little much for me. I do like the door though its awesome. I wouldnt mind buying a kit for that.

Holy Carbon Fiber!!! Very, very different, not my style though. The doors are sweet on both cars. A black car with CF panels may look cool since you would have to get close to see what it really was.
I like the whole idea of the carbon fiber going frmo the hood-roof-hatch. Makes it look like a giant black stripe down teh middle. That's how I view it. I also LOOOVE that carbon fiber dash board. That's bad@$$. I wish I could get one.
I like the dash...but a little to much CF even for my tastes. The suede interior is not my style too pimp my rideish. Overall I applaud the amount of work he's put into the car.

CF is for more than appearance. It's incredibly light, and very strong. It shaves off weight from your car (Replacing a lot of heavy sheet metal) without jeapordizing the structural integrity.I like the CF and scissors doors, but the suede..? Did Austin Powers design the car? Where's the plush dice to go with it?

He cut the roof off and replaced it with a carbon fiber panel and hatch?
I speak for CF, not for that individual car, specifically. Like I said, CF is for more than appearances. I have no idea what he did or didn't do to his car, which is why I didn't mention his car.
