That looks VERY nice, but I don't think anyone would pay 30 dollars for a shell. Now maybe if you throw it on a clone chassis..... Maybe.

speed set....or....subaru body
New chassis or nice body.....hmmm....
FORGET IT MAN! i mean $30.00!?!?!? WTF are you thinking?! only a crazy, stupid, retarted or desperate person would say that is a fair pice. or a hotshot crazy-spend-everywhere collector. if you lower it to 17.50 and let the buyer pay for shipping, id say hell yeah. But $30 bux? Hell F***in' No, man!

Settle down, Beavis. I have an idea... don't buy it! And dude, if you are going to call someone "retarted", you should probably go ahead and learn how to spell the word.

The Shell does rock, I would not be surprised if someone bought it.

Hey guys, just wanted to make a couple clarifications on the price. I know it's a little high end, but there are some considerations to be made: 1) it is a custom job, so it's one of a kind 2) the shell kit itself was ~$5 3) materials 4) most importantly, the decal kit for the shell was purchased here: http://www.sigmaautomotive.com:8080/...Mon/digiq.html, and I don't know if it's readily apparent but the decal kit itself costs $15, plus the $8+ shipping sigma charges! Believe me, this shell took a considerable amount of cash to make, well over the $30 I've priced it at, so you can rest assured you're getting what you paid for. In fact, I had a very sharp hobbyist do the work for $30 in the first place! Just thought someone would be happy with the result since I don't use my bits as much anymore. Hope this info proves somewhat enlightening!

Look guys, 30 bucks is chicken feed when buying quality custom work. You aren't paying for a cheap plastic shell. You are buying a custom, one of a kind piece of art and the talent and craftsmanship it takes to make it. Comparing it to off the shelf products that cost the same amount is rediculous and an insult to the artisan. If you don't realize this, then you probably can't tell the difference between a Picasso and the front of a cereal box. I apologize for the forum Sinden. Some of us do understand the value of true craftmanship in this stamped out assembly line world we live in.

I stand by what I said. If you find my posts annoying, I would suggest that you skip reading them.
