Sounds like a bunch of BS to me, they always over exaggurate on these prices. It would have to cost over 100 grand just to build the motor. Then the motor alone would have to cost another 50k. And the bodykit doesnt cost 50k either. The wheels are only volks, so what? 4k with tires. The full suspension cant be more than 20k all together. Paint would be what? 10k for a top notch job.

Even that is barely 200k. It doesnt add up, that car isnt worth anywhere near 300 thousand dollars.

Hey kel, can you post a DIY when you're done with this project? I've got a few weekends open around Christmas so I was thinking about doing this mod.

Well, consider all parts costed them MSRP so it came out to 340k. Imagine the money they made buying parts from their own storefront at MSRP for tax write off purposes. Did I over think this one, maybe thats not possible?
