if everything on that car can be made chrome like, that would be a kill. the car is simply straight ice. if i owned that car, i sure would have the red tail of the car silver. everything else is perfect except that ugly red crap on the trunk lid

I think it is a little too vexed with the lost foglights. Who knows how the exhaust was fabricated or what was done to make it a 4.6 liter? And I won't even comment on the wheels.

Looks like a tart with unknown, but possibly fatal, health problems.

I'd take Quella over it anyday.

I think it looks awesome, my taste would be a set of black rims with a chrome lip,other than that it looks good, and it doesnt look like everyone elses Q, thats what makes you a car guy, dont follow the crowd lead it, be different and do it to your own satisfaction, after all it is your hard earned money, spend it well.

maxnix, this may be a bit personal but am just curious, how old are you??

i'm asking because you always have something bitter to say in your posts. maybe not always bitter but definitely negative.

$19,999!!!!!!!!!!! The guy must be smoking crack! You’d be better off buying the extras and putting it in your own car. At least you know what’s wrong with the car. Major mistake in loosing the fog lights and the wheels are too big. He must be sliding in that snow. Otherwise it looks like it's in mint shape.

It got to be a 4.6 liter the same way it got the computer controlled suspension. It's imaginary.

Just think what a great Q you could own if you put half of this price into real performance enhancements.

I called and talked with the gentlemen who owns the car, his small shop did all of the work on the vehicle, he stated that he is not really wanting to part with it but he must purchase a house,I asked about the engine mods and he stated it was all stock, I then asked about the 4.6 engine size and was told it was a misprint and that it should have been taken care of, I asked about the suspension and he says that he was told that the computer controls the suspension, other than that he seems like a nice guy and broke down all cost of the upgrades to the car, he also says the the suspension is all stock and that the car didnt loose to much ride quality, so no 4.6 motor just a typo, and no computer controlled suspension just wrong info given to the seller, all in all still a nice car.:)

:Werd

But he has receipts for all the body work, paint and auto system. I guess those receipts were more impressive than the ones he had for the maintainence and repairs. Or, just maybe... he doesn't have any repair receipts.

None the less, that Q is blingin it. If I was a crack slingin member of the ghetto economy, I'd wanna be rollin a whip like dat. ;)

Actually he says all reciepts are included in the purchase of the car, rims , Xenon kit, and the system, the only thing they didnt di was the paint work.

Maybe it's just the light, but it almost looks like the paint on the kit doesn't match the paint on the body...or at least not very well.

Save for that and the wheels, I *really* like it.

I really like the rear bumper, I think it looks sharp as hell. In fact, the whole kit is pretty cool. Chrome wheels can look real nice, but I think in this case they are a little overkill. In any case, it still looks pretty good.

So what it's all bling, isn't that what part of buying a luxury car is? At least if you buy it all you'll have to do is bump up a little horsepower and some suspension work and your done. 20 grand seems a little high to me, especially since whenever you build a car you shouldn't expect to get all your money back. If it were like 12-15, then this would be one hell of a deal!

Its is nice, but for some reason it doesnt really do it for me... 19big ones is a bit too much, but it certainly is one of a kind..... I think it was tastefully done... Rims are a bit too big for my taste...

I wonder if he'd make us body kits like that.....

I LIKE IT!!! 20k is a steep, but who knows,,,maybe a very motivated seller!!! i'm always leary with a ton of mods on a car, but that Q looks real good. love the color combo, and the rims grew on me the more i looked. if i had the means, i would definitly consider it, but only if there was a lot of haggling!!!!!! LOL

He must have spent too much on the car and trying to get too much for the package now. I could make mine look just like it for a lot less but I'd rather spend the money on regular maintenance. I'm sure he turns a lot of heads in that but I get a lot of offers for mine as it is!

That's some serious rice. Chrome wheels can look great on silver Q, or any 1st Gen Q becauce of the matching chrome door handles and metal window trim. I personally prefer something, a little more understated and different. That's why I'm sticking with my "black chrome" wheels on my silver Q for quite awhile.

If I had spent all that money on a body kit, I would have shaved to the yellow front side markers. It looks like the front bumper kit cuts off the stock side markers and leaves a large gap.

Isn't riding on 20's on a Q a total death trap with no brake upgrade? Nice, but pure rice.

I dont think it is "rice"... I think it was at least tastefully done...... Not my cup of tea though.....

Don't get me wrong. What I meant by "pure rice" was that it is done for all for looks and with no concern for function.

That guy doesn't seem to know much about his car. If I were a potential buyer, I'd press really hard for the "real" reason he was sell a car that he just spent so much money on.

Wow - Never expected THIS much comment on it...

I really like the appearance of it. Silver is my #2 or #3 choice for a Q, and I really like the kit. So much, in fact, I may start keeping an eye out for one. I'm sure one of our advertisers can find one laying around in a warehouse, unsold and unwanted.

As far as chrome, i think chrome rims look great on a Q - but I'm a little biased. :)

The mileage is nice, so maintenance shouldn't be TOO much of a factor.

Where's Black on Black on the list? :D

I'd say overall it's not bad, for the most part, we all see some stuff we like. IMHO, he's made it into a car that cannot be a daily driver.
