You can overpirce anything. It is only worth what someone will pay.

I agree that car is ugly, but think about it. If everyone built a car how "you" liked it or how "you" would do it, then there would be no nice custom rides that stand out or that are special. They would all be the same again just as they came from the factory.

i dont know if i totally agree. i think people can make custom cars that at least 1 out of 3 people like rather than 1 out of a million.

if every custom car built was done exactly how you liked it then what would make any of them stand out? These atrocities make us appreciate the truly nice cars.

as 'extreme' of a level the car may have been built up (or overdone)....everything added together price wise is probably the reasoning behind the high price. Not too many people figure that they're only gonna get about 1/3 of every dollar they put into the car....keep bolting things on and rack in over 18-20k, someone's bound to think it's worth that

I do like the stingray style exhaust, but the rest of the car blows.

I just got back from the Rod Run in Gatlinburg TN a couple of weeks ago...and i seen about 4 third gens there that wasnt as nice as that car for 15k and an iroc that was just imaculate for $12,500. Not saying that the car in this post is nice because i agree with LaxStreetRacer. Just the cars in TN (excluding the Iroc) had little to nothing done to them and they seemed to be rotting away.
