Lol....


The front turn signal lights are wrong.... And that's probably because they are not available but I do have few sets remaining.

Nice Catch

that settles it, I am going with the chrome wrap, that should make my car worth 150k, unless the body on this car is ABSOLUTLEY perfect every bad spot will show, I have seen three cars done this way and all three had allot to be desired when you get up close it is very very easy to see the lack of detail, just my 2cents, it does look bad butt though if its done right.

Hmmm......

Car that has practically no OEM light....
Uses truck rear break lights
OEM rear break lights would have cost less then $250 for the whole set
No side marker lights which cost less then $115 for the set
No rear reverse light which cost less then $100
No refelectors which can be picked up for less then $20
Weird looking exhaust that no where near matches the original Diablo exhaust of any Diablo
Coup chopped up to look like a Roadster
Interior is all wrong.
From the eBay add "Diablo convertible exact replica. Based off of the 2000 model"         WHAT!!!!!
Current bid     US $70,099.99
All private bidders.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM (<<<< Yep with a capitol H and a capitol M)

Well folks I have a planet made of diamond for sale named '55 Cancri e' just about 40 light years away for dirt cheap.... That's right cheep cheep like trade for your chrome blang blang Diablo.....

The ebay chrome replica roadster weighs as much as my Elise !!?? How could that be possible with such a large engine and big car and heavy wheels & other things o.O

That chrome kit car is the biggest POS kit car I have seen. Obviously he is bidding on his own car.
Now back to the white roadster, keep guessing.

The front turnsignal lights are definitely not correct..... Is there something else?

You got me stumped. I'm not seeing a difference.

don't know ANYTHING about how the diablo is supposed to look but I'll try

rear bumper looks kinda like 6.0 rear bumper how it is smooth across it, but I thought it also had fins in the bottom/back side?

Post by: usmc_butler on March 28, 2013, 08:07:21 AM
Im with you Tallon but im gonna guess it has something to do with the bumpers maybe the little funky grills in the front ::study  ::scratch?

Aside from the front signal light which CCIE pointed to, Rear bumper is not a Roadster bumper(tallon got it), I kept looking and looking at this car and something looked off. I wonder why would somebody put a coupe bumper on a roadster, doesn't even fit correctly.

Post by: Tallon on March 28, 2013, 10:00:27 AM
Yay!

I didn't look at many pics of the coupe but I didn't see one without the lights and the fins, maybe just didn't look at the right years
Shape was definitely 6.0 though

Wow Red nice catch....

The roadsters has a indent in the middle all the way through in the rear bottom bumper.
The coup is smooth on top
The 60 is smooth on top but has fins for the exhaust in the middle and different end angles.

It's simple. Use dangerous chassis made from thin tubes and no triangulation that will self-destruct within a few years of normal city driving.
