Evoluzione

I was wondering how these look in person. Do they look cheap? I really want one, and may purchase one in a year or two. I just dont want to buy something that I wont be happy with. Does anybody have one?

Havent seen one in person, you are relatively close. I Inquired about the kit and how it looks on T-tops. the guy from the company told me they will have one at the kit car show in Carlisle,PA this summer...may be worth goin to see if your interested, I wanna stay stock looking..but it is a very nice kit

Haneous. Horrible. Worthless crap. Just a few words that popped into my head when I saw one in Syracuse NY. It looked like the whole car was assembled with RTV. Seriously. Every single joint and attachment had RTV squeezing out. Wicked, wicked cheesy kit. Maybe if it was installed more professionally it would have looked good, but the one I saw was a thru-and-thru hack.

yeah, if the install is bad I bet it can come out looking horrible ... just like most custom jobs. if the install is good and the paint is good with alot of coats and nice clearcoat, the kit will look completely awesome. check out the pix on the website, they speak for themselves. the only think that might look cheap would be the interior kit, but if you paint it properly, it will look real nice as well. i plan to order the exterior kit within 10 months ...gonna order the interior kit in 1 or @ most 2 months. i'll take pix of the interior when im done.

If I could afford it, I'd have it already.
I personally like the look of that kit.
Gary's Custom Exotics builds all kinds of kit cars and they are about 20 minutes from me.
They will build you a turn key Evoluzion for about $30 grand, I don't know what motor it will have but most likely it's a small block 350.

I saw one in Italy. Its just like the Lambarguinies, they look fake up close because of all the extra body parts. Its also very wide. It had the stock 305 and stock exhaust, which took away from its overall charactor. If I were to stay and reside in Europe, I would consider it, but I think a thirdgen can look very aggressive and mean without the euro look.
