Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

29 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, 996ers, if you thought that $47,000 phoney Halloween "GT3 RS" was bad, yowza, wait 'til you see this one!: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-...US_Cars_Trucks Despite the description "2011Porsche 997 Twin Turbo ", it is in fact a regular N/A 2002 996 cabriolet tiptronic hiding under that monstrosity of bodywork. The rear end looks like a diaper with a full load. Asking price: $69,999.00 But, you can brag to your buddies that this car was "built for a businessman that owns restaurants spanning the Mediterranean region and beyond." I guess he lost his lunch once it was delivered. If you buy it, don't forget your pimp hat!

Still pretty tame compared to some of the stuff you see here in Tokyo.

POST 7Original post

Wicked has been around awhile and has quite a bit of crazy vehicles. Hell, they are the only ones I know attempting to sell 991 conversion kits too(for 997). They have a diverse portfolio and some actually look decent but obviously different strokes for different folks applies here. They are also nuts on doing a 918 conversion on a boxster which actually seems decent but the price is also nuts IMO.

POST 8Original post

The panel gaps and fit on that 918 kit is just awful. The concept looks fantastic, but the execution is just terrible.

Different wheels, bumpers and a man transmission and it wouldn't be too bad. Also, it could use a roof, I'm just not a fan of 'verts.

That would be cool since you can't get a 918 with an old school engine. I'd like to see the 981 with that 918 conversion with a 991 3.8L.

POST 13Original post

They've been selling overpriced, overdone, mediocre cars on Ebay for years.

Quotes source post: 11059088

That's about right since they're in Cali local to the Malibu and Beverly Hill's crowd. Perfect since they are into looks and plastic surgery, why not for a car? It fits right in...

POST 16Original post

I have seen a few wicked cars around town and the ones that are not over done look pretty decent. But and then they will just go over the top and slap everything on a car they could find around the shop put a bright paint job on it and try to find a sucker with a 1 inch thick gold chain and a bracelet

Fixed. At least that's what I think of when I see a green car like that.

POST 20Original post

So Cuda, were those your two offers they turned down? I think everyone here should send them an appropriate offer. Would be funny to see them turn down like 200 "best offers" over the next 16 days of their auction.

Not really. It's for the guy that wants to dress like Superman for a good cause but might not have Lamborghini money like Batman. Lol.

POST 28Original post

Hey at least it isn't a salvage title like they usually use.

POST 29Original post

Quotes source post: 11072435

Actually it might've had a salvage title at one point depending on which state they got it from. It's easy to convert to a clear title if you get the car from certain states IIRC.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
