Default Creating a pebble beach

Just thought this was interesting, would probably cost a small fortune buying all these parts but someone has completely disassembled the interior of an 05 and is selling them on eBay right now, looks like everything is there including the red engine cover, pebbles don’t seem to ring the premium that would justify doing it but it is kinda cool

If anything, I imagine adding all the PB bling would soften the value of the original, unmolested car. The premium that one of these would bring is in the originality.

I had a upper end Hyundai that I stripped the big H symbol and added the Genesis wings instead....haha, still a Hyundai.

I agree but still theie is a crowd that likes to customize and a worn out sc can be had for 7k now so I suspect the mod crowd might enjoy tricking one out... worn out Lexus cars are still a better value than most others, pretty much applies to all Toyota’s , they keep going

I see nothing wrong with tribute cars. Just sol long as they are always presented as such. If you like the look go ahead and do it.

No floor mats? The pebble beaches show special paint. Appear to have more clear coating....

Was not really saying you could create a pebble beach, just that you could definitely customize your ride with those parts, I like pebble beach models but they purely cosmetic, other than looks there is zero reason to seek one out imho

If you look closely, you can see some of those listed parts are worn out.
