I have a ton of resto pics of the work while it was being done. For the right price he would sell it to buy a real one. The paint alone would be 15k or more,It came out insane. That is an acutal GNX cluster that we found with 0 miles on it. The inner fender vents are there as well as the relay relocation brackets. The car we started with even had tehe same options the GNX had. The RPO sicker even has the T2L code in it

We bought the unfinished car from him and took off all the GNX parts cleaned it up and sold it. The Wheels are GTA wheels we sent out and had redone with the correct offsets. Some of the parts are Kirbans repros,etc.....

The car looks great.....curious on how guys go about deciding on the number they choose to duplicate? Is the original owner someone you know and asked him if it was ok or did you just pick the number at random?

Very impressive attention to detail...
That's as closest to the real thing I've ever seen. Where did u get this sticker made:
 It's one of the most forgotten details on every conversion I've seen.

Now thats the best receration I have seen so far A lot better than the one that was on ebay in my opinion. Great gob and good attention to detail from what I see in the pics. Does it have the correct rear seat brace and fender well modifications?
I hope mine looks that good once painted. the only difference is that I choose to go with #548 so I dont step on anyones toes.

As the owner of the real GNX023 I take offense to this replica. Why couldn't you use a fake badge like GNX548? When I decide to sell GNX023 this car will cause nothing but confusion to potential buyers.

Looks great, especially sending in the GTA wheels and getting them spaced properly. Deserves to be called a clone unlike most of the GTA wheels and fender flares guys.
But I'll agree with "gnx023" it does kinda suck that your dash is numbered the same as an actual X that is still alive and functioning.
