Whats up with what looks like a base/gt chin spoiler/bumper trim hanging off the bottom of the Z bumper?

I swear this was a members car that was sold a few years ago. That scoop is what is making me think that.

Nice looking I like the laced wheels but this doesn't look half bad with the gtu/Indy wheels

Those are teal indy wheels - look at the inserts! This would probably not be a w26 then.

w26 only had teal inserts on the and the gt models were offer in white/black/teal in color but on another note anyone can put indy wheels on to make you think its a w26. But with the indy rear lip and z gfx makes me think this car was just thrown together and quite well at that

If that was a W26, they did a hell of a job repainting the car (door jambs, engine bay, etc).

Looks like a base or GT with everything added to it.

That chin on the bottom of the bumper is normal, it just gets destroyed really quick and sticks out on this car because it's painted teal.

And does nobody else see the giant Beretta GT decal on the doors? Besides that's Med. Maui Blue Metallic amazingness which only got put on base/GT's. It's a GT with Z gfx and GTU wheels.

Ok, I must confess I was able to read the plate and put it into Carfax and get a VIN, and run that through Compnine. It is NOT a W26, and the paint is Quasar Blue.

That car is most definitely NOT quasar blue, it's Maui Blue like lolwut said.

Repainted maybe? Not sure though since it still has the GT decals on the sides. Either way looks pretty neat as is.

Did anyone notice the GTU rear ground effects?

Well yeah, obviously a complete repaint, never was denying that. If the vin says it was quasar, then it was. MY91GT(Z) mentioned the rear lip in an earlier post. It's looks like Maui blue too me, but could be a custom color, either way, beautiful car! :D
