As for the thread. The suspension on Creaminz GT3 was not like that.. We were able to do Targa Trophy and did the whole run with no problems. (car rode straight and none of those problems the guy mentioned ever occurred) They have had the Porsche for a couple weeks already, who know what they did with the car. I know they purchased it as a track car so I am not quite sure what they had done already.

^^ Its understandable to believe that the suspension items could have been damaged during the owner's possession. But the hack paint jobs? For a $140k car?!

I don't think anyone can really speak for Creamiz, but creamiz himself unfortunately and I could easily come in here and defend the shop or Darren or anyone for that matter. Heck, I knew LTMW and everyone there until I realized it just wasn't a place for me anymore.
The pictures speak for themselves sadly.

The photographs and poor workmanship reflect LTMW more than anything. If I were creaminz I would be pissed that ltmw built the car like that. |

This whole liberty walk style fad has little substance besides garnering social media traffic.
What a great idea to take new, clean title, & engineered driving cars and make them hardly drive-able whilst compromising the structural safety, bodywork aesthetics and paint quality of said vehicles, essentially rendering them worthless. And forget about clean bodywork, let's rivet those fenders on with rust-prone self tapping screws. But dawg 3941893248 likes on instagram bruh

Why is the buyer willing to do all the fixing?? That's adding thousands of dollars to the $100k+ car. I would have sent this garbage back! The liberty walk guys probably did one car right and then they got flooded with demand and started making sub par kits! Exhibit A this GT3.
Just my .02 cents

Definitely a real hack job. The guy should go after the shop and this creamz character. He didnt even register the car in his name and drove around a few k while the car was still registrred under the previous owner.
Scumbag no matter how you slice the cake. He also said he was donate a percentage of the final sale to a good cause... Why not help the poor new owner out instead? Complete lies !! Last edited by GO-RAN; 01-24-2015 at 08:43 AM.. |

donate? lmao i'm pretty sure he plans on buying a lambo or ferrari from his IG. Some real dic^hed stuff going on here. He says it was fine while he had it. Those calipers and suspension just blow my mind. The body kit stuff I see happen all the time. I couldn't believe they got it out to SEMA with that ugly blue paint job. I loved the mint, it looked unbelievable. A rushed job rarely ever comes out decent.

You sound like his cheerleader. An enthusiast? I dunno, seems like he's like most wealthy car guys and buys cars to drop them off with blank checks to build them. I would give more respect if he did the work himself. He was also asking wayyyyy too much for a hacked up 997. I do feel bad for the 993. |

OP, what would compel you to purchase anything without form or function, let alone what used to be a GT3? It's almost like you asked for it. |

That's the most dangerous that you can do. To believe another individual has the same (not only limited to buisenes) reliability and safety standard's as you have. Let me put it this way....only because you think someone somewhere in Philly sell's ZCP wheel's for a good price, doesn't automatically mean it couldn't be a ripoff or more likely a murder waiting for his victim. Happened many year's ago still happening right now! Everyone think's this all is an enthusiast's game only, wich maybe is for the majority but there is so much space left in between for criminal action's. This here is just a tiny little example of what can happen...as I said I wish him luck and hope someone pick's my idea up. Maybe even a GT3 supplier can hook him up with cheaper part's at least I'm hoping someone help's him. |

Lesson be learned... get a PPI from a reputable shop (that didn't do the work on the car) before purchasing. Sure it may cost $200-$350 for a PPI, but its worth it, especially when buying a modded car.
The plus of buying a modded car, is the seller will never get the money back he put in so you make out with that, assuming the mods are done right. You can get a car with mods for half the cost of you building it yourself. A PPI is the only real way to know you are getting a bargain instead of a nightmare..... unless you personally know the seller.

On the other hand, I posted the rennlist thread in sellers "For Sale" thread on m3post and since then he has deleted the listing. Clearly there is a great deal of fault from the seller's side, more so than from the buyer. |

Wow what an eye opener, seeing things like this gets me so angry.
How can this type of work come out of these shops? I would not be able to deliver a car like that to a customer. I wonder how other cars look like underneath all the wide body! Quality Build? Vollkommen? LTMW? Creminz? Customers BEWARE |

This sums up today's car scene though, doesn't it?
What happened to tastefully moding a car? More importantly, what happened to moding a car with the sole purpose of improving its functionality? Shotty widebody kit's that cost thousands, ridiculously slammed and stanced ride heights, tow hooks and roll bars for cars that will never see more than the parking lot or a Targa Trophy event... as if that is really testing the limits of your high performance sports car. It is all a joke. SEMA 2014 was a perfect example. People love to throw money at their cars. I wish the new owner the best.
