How do you feel about replicas?

I prefer original cars, I'd rather have a regular Fiero than one turned into a Ferrari.

I would rather not have a car

Hey, look here, this is a nice conversion to a Testarossa:

Fake: Hope u didnt get fooled... u WERE looking at the fake one, converted from a Fiero

my dad saw "a race car is born" and has been getting me to find out stuff about kit cars more so the lotus super 7. i found one for 2000 pounds but im not really convinced about them i think it would be fun to bulid etc but getting the parts at the right price will be a pain and getting it road legal in aus would also be a pain. ne way i like some kit cars but others are sh!tty and if some1 could give me some info about kit cars it would be appreciated.

All this panel swapping is a good idea, if you get it right. The best panel swapping example is called the Veranti.
Its an original design, very easy to build and lovely to look at!I would post a pic, but the images are closely guarded on the site i tried.

This may have been asked before, but how do you feel about replicas? I'm considering a 250 GTO built off a Datsun 260z, but the replica deal kind fuddles me. I love the lines of the GTO, and I would never try to replicate it personally, or try to say it was real, but it certainly would be fun to own. I would probably put some big wheels and tires on it, and the car already has a 350 V8.

Don't waste your money no matter what you do it is a replica look at this
way, say I see you and your car on the street, I'm going to ask you, "hey
is that a 250 GTO???? this is you ""NO IT WAS A 260Z,,,,BUT IT HAS
350 V8"" THIS IS ME""OH"" OK SEEEEEYYYAAAAA....

YOU GET THE PICTURE RIGHT???!!!
