I have no issue with the exterior. I would not pay extra just for the looks, however. Similarly, I'd go for Porsche's $0 Black rather than their $710 Basalt Black Metallic or $3140 Atlas Grey Metallic. To continue, the YZF-R1 LE looks fine but is not worth $1210 more than a regular R1 just to have Rossi-inspired stickers.

Funny enough, I was watching the Barret Jackson auctions on TV last night, and they had a '69 Camaro Pace car up for auction. It was actually used as a pace car for some race (with the documents to prove it), had 10,000 original miles on it, and sold for just under $80,000. So yea, buy it...if you plan on keeping it for 50 years without hardly driving it. You might be able to turn a profit...maybe. But hardly driving it doesn't exactly meet your requirements in your original question.

^^ but that was for an actual pace car, I believe this is just a replica.

I guess I'm the minority here, but I think it looks nice.
Not sure if I'd shell out whatever mark-up it's going to have, but for MSRP, I think I would.

Nah. There's a guy in my area with a C6 that's all done up like that mustang and IMO he ruined a perfectly fine car.
