fibreglass / carbon 959 body kit

Question ... is there any value in a fibreglass / carbon 959 body kit if taken off a car? do people still want these? the car shown is a 1970 911e which is worth far more as original than in this kit.
So if purchased could i get rid of the kit if i shipped it to the usa

Umm...no. It wouldn't have any more value here than in NZ, where if I'm guessing, you would have trouble giving it away. That said, please rescue this thing and bring it back to its original look!

Please, please don't send that thing back to the US. There has to be somewhere else in the world that body kit could go!

Good for you for saving the 70E

Wall or Garage Art.......That is about it in my opinion.

Hopefully you can save the 70 from its plastic surgery gone bad...

I agree with craig356. While it doesn't hang well on a 70's car it would do just fine on a garage wall.

Of all the body kits and Fg panels for the 911, why does this one always look soooo bad? Is it the wrong offset wheels, stance, or low budget that often is applied or just the combination of the fore mentioned? VERY rarely do one of these come off looking right. It SHOULD be easier than a 935, but the replica's of them often look nice.

I'd kick in a few bucks to have it destroyed.

I kind of like the children's bed idea. I would have loved to have one of these as a kid!

Garage art. But don't hang it near a black BMW.
