The paint looks great, wheels are very high quality, brakes are high end, and overall a fairly good custom.
The scoops are a bit overdone, but I think they could have pulled it off if the hood had been formed to accent the grille shape, rather than compete with it. The twin scallops on the hood really mess up the front end.

Some of the engineering leaves a little to be desired. If you look at the shock package, they just extended the lower mounting bolt and hung an additional air shock on it, to keep the body up off the rear tires! A loss of air pressure and the body comes down and tears up the quarter panel. Very primitive!

How long do you think those hard to see, therefore hard to use, former steering wheel switches would survive? I think they are suceptible to being hit by a knee on entry. ouch!

With that double scallop does that make it double butt ass ugly?
I can not imagine someone in our shop not waking up before we got that completed and saying Are you freakin nuts?
I was trying to praise its' few positive attributes, but since you've both gone there, the hood scallops look like my overweight plumber's bent over butt crack when he's wearing his jogging pants.
Disgusting, ain't it?

Someone had way to much free time and money to take one good looking ride and
*&^%ed it up.
Like my Father said, "If you want a Porsche/Audi, go out and buy one, don't waste your time and money on trying to make it look like one."
To many themes going on. If you take the time to give it that nice of a paint job, why did you not re-paint the truck bed to match and the inside door panels?
Building a good custom is a lot harder than just changing stuff to something different. It's especially hard to get a cohesive whole, rather than just a bunch of disparate changes, no matter how good those changes are. Someone put a lot of work/money into making this SSR look the way they wanted it to. In this case, I don't like the result myself, but to each their own.
Or maybe they didn't like the result either, and that's why it's for sale.
