There are about 10 different Lamborghini Kit car builders out there. Some
better than others.
Some of the kits go between $3,000 to $7,000.
They drop on top of a modified Pontiac Fiero. Chop off the roof,
Extend the length of the body, remove the body panels, build some
extensions on the front and rear and your done. Besides paint and wheels.
They really strive for authenticity. Quite sharp and a real babe magnet.
