The wheels are too big! & it needs a windshield, besides that, I like it. :-)

It looks like they spent 20K on the body and $20 for the undercarriage and under hood combined.  Maybe the picture just doesn't show it very well.

I would bet the stereo sounds like crap at 60 mph. I think the wind in the speakers is going to cause a tremendous amout of distortion.

I dont think ti would go 60.
It's a "Donk" you can't steer it at 60.
They are for low speed rollin only.
from wikipedia...not that that makes it true.....

Donks are a type of highly customized automobile, and typically an inexpensive American-built sedan modified by significantly increasing the ground clearance and adding large-diameter wheels with low-profile tires. Depending on the model and build year, autos customized in this manner can be labeled "donk," "box," or "bubble."

Hi-risers originally grew out of the Dirty South drug, pimp and hip hop subculture but the trend has spread across the United States. Vehicles customized in the hi-riser style are distinguished by their oversized (even disproportionate) rims, ranging from 24" to 30" or more in diameter, as well as fanciful custom paint-jobs and expensive audio equipment. Suspension modifications similar to those employed on lifted pickup trucks are made to give adequate clearance for the large rims. Often the suspension is modified so the front end sits slightly higher than the rear end, giving the car a swaggering appearance. Because of the exaggerated look gained from installing a lifted suspension and enormous rims, donks are also known as "hi-risers" or "sky-scrapers."

Dang... I was gonna post 4 pictures of paint jobs I'm considering on painting my 300ZX for members to vote on, but I don't want to be considered a "donk". But then my ride goes faster than 60 so maybe that helps. I've been saved by the knowledge here from becoming a "donk". I love it.....
