Anyone have any clue about this P5?
Woah it says that this P5 listed on eBay has like $40k invested in it and was built by DG Motorsports. I don't know who would have the money to spend 3-4 X's a car's actual worth in upgrades, but still, it looks pretty sweet (and fast). Anyone seen this P5? I'm not all about the front end (I don't care for the blacked out headlights or even the paintjob on the front) but I do like those rims! And is that the exhaust coming out of the SIDE of the rear bumper?

(p.s. for $40k + the cost of the stock P5, I could pick up a late model BMW Dinan M3 screamer) or wait... almost TWO new RX-8's

their dashkits are just overlays, their hatch covers, tag trim, etc....only their grills and lips are "authentic" .

you have an FC, i wouldn't think you would want to spend that type of money on a P5 when you have a FC sitting around

well the looks of that P5 is definately not my style

but whatever floats ure boat...you should go for
