Space i did not get to meet the owner, one of his employee's is a return customer of mine and he's selling it for him
How much it's worth well it's an 2003 and kevin(return cust) said he's going to try to get $30k out of it

o yeah new pics added too!
Funny thing is i did this in a hanger at an airport, i am watching way too much top gear becuase i really really wan't to take it out and see what it could do!

in the outside pics i didn't even have the car done... wheels and tires still had to be done but i wanted some natural light pics!

Impressive pics! The only thing to make them more impressive is at least one or two before pics!

I really like the second pic, that one and a couple others look like they were stolen from dealership promo material! Awesome work!! I agree with Chibi, I wish you were closer, I might have a couple cars for ya to do!!
