Default I want to feature a Tracy Sports Widebody S2000

Ever since I saw the Tracy Sports widebody in person I've been wanting to build a customer's car up with one. So my interest has led me to do this deal:

If anyone is serious about building a magazine cover worthy car, I'll get your car into the magazine and start things off by discounting the widebody by $1200 off of my already discounted website price. I will then offer additional discounts for any and all other parts needed to build a cover car worhy vehicle.

The car, to make it to a major magazine cover will need - this widebody, forced induction, quality modifications, rims worthy of the widebody, and additional aero parts/styling (hood, wing, etc). The car can not be black, white (without major vinyl) or silver.

I'm dead serious with this offer, if someone takes me up on this I will land your car on a major magazine cover. If you doubt me, check my history: 6 covers in the past 12 months and two more confirmed already.

Even with discounts, a cover car is going to need a minimum of $20k in total mods (probably much more than that).

FYI, I know with this amazing new widebody and good well rounded modification I can land a cover on either: Modified, Super Street, Import Tuner, D Sport, or Import Racer.

You'd still be short the rims, seats (interior mods), tuning, an exhaust, CF Hood, and probably a Hardtop is needed.

It's a nice offer, but this would take some serious money, commitment. and balls. Even for me to get involved with all the stuff I have would take at least another $10k investment. BTW isn't the Tracy Sports car white? The way I figure it

Bodykit $5k
Paintwork and Install $1.5k
New Rims to fit with tires $3k

So even if you already have the engine work and interior mods, you are looking at a staggering $ amount. But I do commend you on insisting it has engine modifications. Considering the slew of s2000s with basic I/H/E in magazines over the years.

You will be surprised on whats actually needed to land cover shot. You can still make it with the basic I/E/H, the key is the ICE and the kit. BBK is a plus but not required. I know the editors at SuperStreet and Import Tuner and they want a nice overall presentation. Turbo/SC is also nice but SC is just as common as I/E/H and some of the basic bolt ons cost more than a SC. Turbo is the new thing for this car in the mags and it will help.

This is a great deal. Someone jump on this . If I was 5 years younger I would be all over this.
