If I win the powerball I'll do it!
The description says 3pc wheels, but the photos show mono locks.
Shipping is at least 4500.00 from my house.
Tires and wheels probably 10-12K
Will say 15K for paint and body work.
So for all carbon fiber with side exhaust, diffuser, and the 1500 rear spoiler. It is about right if you add in the badges.

Those pics are from Carlisle last year. The car in person was amazing. Nice guys too. At Carlisle if you were a Corvette forum member they gave you all kinds of Supervette stuff.

A car looking like this will need some more attitude under the hood.
Otherwise all fluff.
I wonder what the weight is?
Wheels and tire's going to be heavy with the size.

That car looks awesome. I would love to have it, but the price is above my "pay grade". If you have that kind of free capital , I'd go for it. I'd take the time to really check out the reputation of the builder. You mentioned $4500 for shipping.....that seems high? Maybe take a week and deliver it yourself and see what the facility looks like.
Inspect what you expect!

On the positive note, you ship them the car, so its a turn key package with them doing all the work/pain, and sending you back the completed car.
The downside, don't see 50K of parts and work to justify for an appearance package only.
Figure for that price, would include a engine and suspension performance package upgrade as well.

It is part of the package, but I am sure they would work with you. But, if you were going to throw 45k in appearance, what's another 4500.

Definitely some 'Corvette Tax', going on here. (also known as "if you are that foolish, I'm more than happy to take your money)
I had a horse shipped cross-country for about half of what they are charging to ship that kit. Think a few carbon fiber pieces are difficult to transport, try livestock.
And don't even get me started on the price of the kit itself....

Doubt that they've ever sold one.
