I agree with you 100%, but I think you are not getting my point from the original post. I wanted an "Eleanor" clone with the GT500 badges....I know it is a clone but my response to the Scotte is that just because Cervinis didn't do the application of the body kit and perfromance mods doesn't make it any less of a clonedEleanor or Tribute if you will. My interpretation of Scotte's response to the blue Cervini mustang was if Cervinis didn't do it (the work) than it is not a Cervinis mustang. It doesn't make sense to me as it is a kit applied to a GT.If it is quality work and the buyer likes it I say go for it! See what I mean? Cervinis is a aftermarket body kit maker and they offer to apply the kit to your caras a service to you. They might be the expert on the fit of the kit but it doesn't mean I don't have a Cervinis mustang as I have that kit on it!

I disagree completely. If you put a Roush body kit and blower on your car, it is still not a Roush, it is a Roush clone. Adding a GT500 kit to your car doesn't make it a GT500 either. Take an old Pontiac Tempest and add all of the GTO parts to it, and you've still got a Tempest. Original is just that. Anything else is a clone or tribute.

The fact that the kit is on the car makes it from cervinis - whether or not Cervinis didthe work or not doesn't matter. Any reputable shop can do the work just as good if not better. I think it is fine to go with the above mentioned car as long as it is what you are looking for.

That's not a Cervinis built car! Cervinis only puts the decals C-300 or C-500 on their cars. They also put their name above the side decals. They never put GT500 on any of them. That is a Cervinis C-300 body kit and exhaust only that has been added by the owner to a GT. It doesen't even have the wheels Cervinis uses. If you order direct from them, ok, but I wouldn't buy this one as a Cervinis car.

RE: should i get this blue cervini??
back to costs, i have one of there hoods on my car. The ram air hood pictured here

The biggest cost was the paint. My car is sonic blue and it took 3 layers of primer 15 layers of blue and 3 clear. The hood is paint top and bottom and looks awsome but again the paint was exspensive. So good luck. the total was 700 that included the price of the hood.

As far as cost well it depends alot on what you are going for, and who dose the work. but please please do not represent the car as something it is not.

RE: should i get this blue cervini??
Oh no, I'm crying.......my C300 really isn't. It just has the EXACT same parts as a C300, but woe is me, someone else put them on my car. Hmmmm, funny my tungsten not C300 sold at a profit, so, I guess having Cervini put it together at exhorbitant prices isn't all that.
Expect to pay2.5-4k for assembly and another 2k or so if you want painted stripes. If you stay away from the ridiculous wheel and tire package from Cervini you can get off with a nice car without giving away your first born. There is a great guy in Tulsa at Car F/X if you are interested. Somehow my "not" C300 keeps winning car shows.

RE: should i get this blue cervini??
in the case of Roush or Saleen, they serialize their cars and give the owner a certificate of authenticity. (The vin is not changed, but it is recorded with the manaufacturer).
I may be wrong but I don't believe Cervini is doing this yet. I've seen at least 2 Cervini built cars here on LI and neither of them had been serialized by Cervini. IMHO, until they do, there really is no difference whether Cervini or someone else does the work.
