Ok, I'll admit it

Assuming there is a TII drivetrane under the hood, I realllllllllllly like this one. Kind of makes a statement of what could have, even should have been. But, I'm a Vert kinda guy.

Very well done and applause to the the mind behind this work.

Very, very,

He didn't mention whether or not it's a complete conversion, but he at least has the hood. Only thing he mentions aside from it being a clone is a performance exhaust. He wants $7k for it, so I should hope there's a turbo motor in there

Those are 87 wheels, instead of 88. (87's have more "spokes")

My car has actual 10thAE rims on it.

Everything else I can see looks nice. Black interior and all.

I'd drive it, but not for 7 grand

Ah, I see

Actually, if I could be sure he took absolutly no short cuts to make this a complete retro-fit of ALL 10AE features (save maybe for the Vert seats with headrest speakers), I'd make an offer.

But, with the wrong wheels, looks like shortcuts were indeed taken.

The 87 ones are painted silver with more "spokes", the 88 ones are polished with less "spokes".

You've got the spiffy 89+ ones

Its the tire shop's fault. You cant exactly swap directional tires around.

ummm..those wheels look exactly like the ones that were on my 10th. Perhaps I'm wrong? They have been sitting in the shed for quite some time now
