That EVO front bumper and splitter sure look funny without the EVO side skirts... He should have bought the matching skirts instead of that goofy IMSA spoiler (it is a steet car).
Plenty of creativity in that listing, "IMSA body kit" is actually an EVO front bumper, EVO front fenders, and an IMSA spoiler. Maybe it is an EVO rear bumper too. I could be wrong, but i am sure that those are not IMSA fenders. That is ok though, I think that the EVO kit is better looking on the street than any IMSA replica would be
Not trying to be a hater, it is a very nice car and most likely a fun drive with all of those conservative modifications. The part that is interesting to me is that the listing makes it seem like a 75 with uprated torsion bars, tubular extractors, and (heavy?) aftermarket wheels = IMSA race car for the street.
I guess that is how cars need to be presented if they are to bring high prices. A blowhard needs to come on all strong spouting half truths and things he doesnt even know about. Then another blowhard buys that hype at a premium. Makes me think of a certian celebrity from this board who sold a slightly garish 164 a while back. The garishness of the vehicle, combined with his hype, enthusiasm, and misguided belief that his car was worth $15,000 actually caused the car to sell much higher than most other 164s of the same type.

The lesson is that we need to believe our cars are worth significant money if we want other people to believe it.
