Here are other examples (just like the earlier pics) from various threads throughout the forum. The Commrades will have you to believe I'm the only person that makes comments on the the cars.

Is that if ANYONE has stood next to an ACTUAL REAL Testarossa, it is an amazingly beautiful and WIDE long car.... It is nowhere near the size of a fiero and many of these kits this one included try to take the general shape of the car and graft it onto the much shorter and narrower Fiero. It just comes off looking kinda cartoonish and more often than not leaves much to be desired. That one honestly looks quite short and stubby and is not anywhere near resembling the real Testarossa.

A real Testarossa is a piece of art, it's beautiful.
IMO this car just looks... I don't know... it just looks silly.

Don't believe the hype. You are allowed to speak. This is not The China Republic.

Just focus on the mistakes these builds contain and not on trying to be the "Dudley Do Right" of the forum. Nobody posted pictures of your car on this thread, but you. So, relax and popped a few Gas-X pills.

You must be a Republican as you flip flop your position more then Romney. What is it that your complaining about?? First it was badges on cars the weren't 100% correct, now you want to focus on the mistakes the build contains, or is it you think all kit car owners are lame posers trying to fool everybody. You have this problem where you think your opinion is the only one that counts.
The kit car industry is bigger and better than it has ever been. the problem is now the kits cost so much to build it's becoming a rich mans game. look at the prices the cars are selling for here

There will always be badly built kits that you can make fun of but there are many more out there that make your Fieros look like ****
Keep up the hate.......it shows everyone your true character[This message has been edited by DL10 (edited 10-25-2012).]

I noticed that none of the cars in the link you provided were Lamborghini or Ferrrari replicas made from Fieros. If the business is booming it's with higher replica builds and not the watered down versions some of which are featured here, but on Barrett-Jackson even they feature Factory Five replicas, so that is surely the way to go. The replicas featured here would never make it to BJ auction for everybody would know right away that it's a poorly built car.[This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 10-25-2012).]

you want Lambos

you want Ferrari

It looks like there are more replica builders than there are custom Fiero shops to me.

The replicas featured here are home built! Built by the average Joe who maybe does or does not know what he's getting into. Either way, it is his car and his choice. The cars featured on Barrett-Jackson are professionally built with big budgets, professional tools, professional work spaces, by people who make a living customizing cars. Your comparison is definately apples to oranges. Again, why does it matter? Has the sudden influx of cheap Ferrari knock-offs somehow ruined the value of factory cars? I don't get it.
