$5k on a wing. and I thought I was a bad ricer!
aaaaaaaaand it’s another dumb episode where they sold it back to the person they bought it from, so we ALL know what really happened was they agreed to do some work and and then pretended to buy and resell it

wow these are expensive now.
If they were like the same price as a period STI or EVO I would for sure pick one of these because they have a more unique factor to them. $30k? I’ll pick up a GC8. I could pick up a Lancia Delta pre-evo era 16V for less and they are IMO cooler.
$5k for that terrible looking mod is ridiculous.
Was this car in pristine condition or something? It seems odd that Wheeler Dealers would pick up a car like that but I haven’t seen that show in a couple of seasons.

ONLY expensive because it’s one of only a few that is registered for use in the US.

AH ok that explains everything.
Some company did import like 10 of them in the 90s IIRC.

that is not the correct wing, why the fuck does it have the mid level wing? it should just be the top whale tale and the boot lip

To be fair, that’s $5k for 3 wings. A much better deal.

except wings 1 and 2 were already included in the purchase price. $5k is just for the middle wing.

That’s the impression I got too. That’s dangerously close to Discovery’s other car show offerings, where they “work” on a “customer’s” car, under a “tight deadline”.

Well to be fair the wing adds more horsepower than the snail.

all the cars ive owned to date together have cost less than that wing.. not counting costs of keeping them running

Well, 5k for the ability to make as many third wings as they want, and after this, they might want to start taking orders.

a chap turns up in the episode who supposedly helped design the car back in the day, and reported that the original design was for 3 wings but the accountants said no
