there are some things that i really just do NOT like. and they seriously detract from the car, even when they are small things. like the wood blocks instead of the ash trays. the carbon fiber stripes on the a/c panel. removal of the windshield wiper bottle and air filter housing but leaving the mounts there. and why move the arm rests and door handles on the doors back???

Such strange combination of themes
 
That's a lot of work and a nice car. But the details are off. Maybe he's fortunate not to suffer our pathology and can enjoy the car nonetheless.
 
Before I knew anything about e9's (still a long and winding road..), I spent a lot of money at Korman's , fortunately not as much as this fellow...spending a lot of money on a project doesn't justify/qualify...
...And if you are hell-bent to use carbon-fiber on your console face, don't cut it out with a steak-knife. That's pitiful.
 
Half an afternoon peeling carbon fiber tape and Alpina stickers off, throwing out pedal covers and prepping the trunk for a proper lining and you're 9/10s to a proper hot rod. GTS interior doesn't look bad. The B38 motor has 340HP assuming Kormann didn't soup it. That strut bar is so the windshield doesn't pop out!
 
Over $156k invested... this is not going to end well.

It certainly has some potential but at $100k I am expecting a finished product.
 
Now I'm scared to look at the ad and pictures, should I save my brain from the onslaught? Oh wait, there is not much left anyways, might as well completely ruin it......
 
Ok, wow......money can't buy taste. At least their 2 year old had fun cutting out the carbon fiber with safety scissors....WTF? Door handles through ashtrays? OK........sounds great. Carry on! Send me the bill......I'll make it up in the sale.....well, maybe not..
