Seems odd that every feedback description where they claim to have sold a car is "private" so you can't look at the auction but his auctions where he bought posters or other crap is ok to look at.

Is the price proportional to the number of pictures you post?

I agree. The best look by far on any 911 is stock.

he is trying to get 180g's..... i know if i was considering it i would want to see as many pics as possible.

i'm sure it saves them the trouble of "lookee loo's" from emailing and wasting their time requesting more pics


also, i'm not sure how they decided what they could claim as a "wicked" part or not, but i believe they credit evo with the intake. maybe anything that does not have a manuf. label on it?

$180k-not debatable, it's not worth that.

But I think they did a pretty good job, nonetheless. I don't think it will look much different than what someone would want to create from the original once it comes out. Many on this board have those same modifications on their cars. They seemed to have used quality parts, a good start. No picture can show good workmanship, but pictures can show poor workmanship and I can't point out any defects out of the many pictures they put up.

Overall, I think its a good job, but I wouldn't buy it.

A salvage is a salvage...That's an awfull lot of dough for a car that has a dubious past at best. This is one of those moments where the old addage "you get what you pay for" might be appropriate..JMHO

Absolutely disgusting INMO, I never liked one thing I have ever seen from Wicked but they must be doing something right for a certain audience because they have been around now for us to make fun of for quite sometime!

AGREED, besides for the salvaged car, their quality/craftsmanship is horrible. Some fenders are wider then the other side, the exhaust tips are fit correctly, numerous other flaws!
