Has anyone out there actually saw one of this companies turnkey cars, and if so how do they fare compared to others. Turnkey prices are really low compared to others and I was wondering what the product looks like for the money.

Where are they located? Link to website? If it is in Florida it may be another Jack Lucas outfit. If so my advice stay away. If its cheap... it's cheap for a reason.

www.thefiberglassworkshop.com I haven’t seen one of their cars but from the pictures…they don’t really seems that…ohh…refined. And they are certainly not exact replicas…the chassis appears to be a un-stretched fiero. Which means it should drive much like one, especially as their options list doesn’t include any chassis up-dates except for front suspension. They should be relatively easy to build thought…which properly is reflected in the turnkey price. A must before you buy one is to contact someone how has the car. One or two people in the customer cars section has email address contact them. Or even try to find a Lamborghini replica club to see if any of the members has on. They will tell you if it is worth it…they are cheap…but remember you get what you pay for.

Well, I don't really think it's a Countach replica so much as it's an 'interpretation' of the original LP400 with a body kit added. Kind of like it was designed from someone telling the body guy what the car looked like - rather than showing them a picture - and then having the body guy design it.
I don't necessarily think it's ugly (old Saabs and the current Toyota Echo have that market cornered), but it's not something I would buy...purely for aesthetic reasons.

That's one of the worst replicas I've seen. It's the type of kit that you can see the difference between a real lambo and a fake from a block away.
