I understand race mods, but there is no need for the tacky-as-hell blue headlights that match the ugly rotors, "PINK" tow-hooks, and so on. The guy would also be a huge d.b. if he actually drive that car on the street with that wing. I understand that it helps with downforce on the track, but he still has the i-drive controller and so much else in the car he could rip out for weight savings if it were a dedicated track car. Plus, I am not convinced that I can see the roll cage in photo #4, which means that it may be a bolt-in that can easily be removed for street use.

In addition, it appears that it has the original steering wheel (with air bag) and front side air bags. No way is this only a track car.

I'd missed the cage - I totally agree with you - there is no cage in the front so my second statement above now holds true!
