That car looks slick as ****. Makes me want 8k HIDs in mine, but then I remember how better the stockers are to actually use and SEE. LOL

All jokes aside though, that car looks like serious business, blacked out like that.

Could have at least replaced the burned out corner light in the driver headlight. It would be even better if both were replaced with led's to match the low beams. The whole thing also looks unfinished with the stock silver calipers.

Starting bid right now is 18,900!? Not sure if it is the Mallet V, there is a youtube video on the ebay page and it is comical to watch. The guy swears ann states "it's an adult car thats why the adult language" s: Says the ls7 is strokes to 457?

Default Not a Mallett on ebay

No guys, the 457 ls 9" car on ebay is not a Mallett.
The Mallett car that is for sale is in Nashville, and the dealer that has it is an @#$hole. I wouldn't buy the car from him if it was 20K. Hes asking more than it books for and it is low on power, only 450 hp for having 427c.i. I see guys on here with close to that N/A on an ls2 or a 402-8 build.
It doesnt even have the original crank Mallett put in it. I met and talked to the guy that traded it to the dickwas in nashville, and the previous owner was a real decent guy. Even took me for a ride. Car had no wheel hop thanks tot he Mallett kit, and still had stock diff. However, I am fairly confident it will be sitting in Nashville for quite a while until the dealer loses his attitude, which probably wont happen.

Besides that, the Mallett is silver.

+1 on the roof spoiler. Def different and a nice touch. Id go the ten minutes to atleast look and see if theres a manufacturer name on it. Hell I drove to Nashville to look at that mallett and couldnt get the jerk to put it on a lift.

Hadn't seen that one. It's not the Mallet-V. The Mallet is in Tennessee, and has been for sale for 8 months at least. They won't budge on the price and they stamped Mallet all over the car...it's a bit ridiculous.

The car looks unfinished because the calipers are stock color????

Front upper grille chipped to chit
Dirty fingerprints on rear passenger door corner
Dirty fingerprint on front passenger door pillar
Tail lights not tinted dark enough/why bother? plus finish on them looks crappy
Back seat looks like it withstood many fat chicks on bumpy rides
Missing "6" on front strut tower bar badge
Missing wheel center caps

That "roof spoiler" looks exactly like the rear spoiler, but made to fit the rear window. Hmmmm

I used a search engine called Google and it appears it's a Sarona wing. They make a number of parts of varying levels of hideousness for the 1st gen CTS. Actually, their add-on front lip looks pretty promising, but it's hard to tell how well it follows the lines of the stock bumper based on their crappy pictures.

[I'm always amazed at how a company like that can have such shitty pictures on their website. Interest in your products is going to be directly related to how good they make a car look. How the **** do you expect customers to decide to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on body parts when you can't manage to put anything but grainy 480x320 images on your website?!]

Depending on when they bought their TD wheels, they may not be designed for center caps. I know mine have no provisions for center caps.

Guys you are picking the car apart, its at a used car dealer, what do you expect lol.. The main two questions are

1. who use to own the car, I have seen it on our forum here before.

2. who makes the roof spoiler? "it was pointed out that it may be a Sorona"

Lets try and stick to number 1 now..
