wow someone has put a lot of work into that
surely its not worth $25 000 and yes it is quite full on, too many needless accessories
also for someone who seems so serious about sound and entertainment etc how is it i spied a fusion amp in the back?

Since there is no shot of the engine bay I assume that probably hasn't been touched.

As said, quite a bit of money spent on it, just not on what I'd spend it on

I guess it will be good on fuel? All that vibration from the sound system should propel the car along

I'd want a turbo strapped to the engine and a dyno sheet for 300rwkw if I was to pay that.

I dont mind it, not what I personally would do, but what has been done looks like it is done well. The out side looks good, but the inside is ott for me. Possibly a less than in your face colour may have made a diff. Top effort, but not for me.

Looks clean and nice on the outside (except the altezza lights suck). Interior is to loud (prob the way the stereo is played) a nice blue or silver would have made it look good.

Oh well at least they did something instead of saying what they're gonna do.

Its erm... Green.

It is each to their own, however this takes the cake. I think you'll struggle to find some E-Series Falcons to match this.
