Needs wheels but I don't think that's all that bad...

I thought that, then looked at the advert... The ride height looks off too...

Will not fool many people

On this Forum or Car people in general I’d agree. But I imagine the majority of the population probably wouldn’t have a clue.

Until you start it up

Touché

What gives it away for me is the shut lines and general quality of the bodywork. I saw one of these sorts of cars up close at a show one time and I thought that Ferrari were a small production type company so you could forgive a bit of a wavy line here or there... but then I realised it was a conversion and then it made more sense. At first glance it seemed legit.

I have to admit, if that passed me going the opposite way, I would give it a quick glance and think it was a Ferrari, but in still pictures, the roof line is too high. As replicas go, this isn't a bad one at all on the surface it seems. As for fooling people, I think it really would in most cases, at least the ones that don't actually care that much what it is, which is the majority of humans as a rule. Us enthusiasts are a minority group, proven by the fact the SUV thing dominates!

Front or side on might not give the casual observer pause for thought; the rear however...

The sun strip bothers me. Gives it a sort of Toyota Supra sort of vibe which you wouldn't expect from a Ferrari owner.

Which to me, makes such replicas a waste of time. Those who care what it is, the likes of us, know it's fake. Those who have no interest in cars won't be impressed by it. So, what's the point?

Chavvy 7 series with awful plate and bonnet, boot and roof wrapped in a dodgy gloss faux-carbon

But the number plate is like someone pretending to be a dog saying "sausage".

That’s so council.

They'll straighten out as the airbags inflate. most air ride cars will go back to a more normal height before moving.

Hmm, LS has fairly even length top and bottom arms, so (say,) 80mm of movement isn't going to sort that out.

Needless to say, as a road car it won't drive as well as Toyota intended; but it's a thing/look and while it might cause itchy teeth in those who can't supress their inner engineer, it's what the modder was after...

Stolen from Reddit, I know the car has been posted before, but it seems to have even more tat now, and I think the spoilers are new.

That just needs crushing now. Imagine the wind noise
