Yea its missing the Heat Extractors which were standard equipment on the Firehawks but a $100 option on the Raptor hoods.

You know, I almost bought 2 diff. cars from them- came to find out the one of them was stolen at some point- you could see the wires that were toggled with in the steering column- so then the other one had this cracked out "RAM Air" system installed on it-the price was right though- They don't seem to be getting good reviews-and that is most certainly not a Firehawk

It will show up either as a Firebird Coupe/Vert or Trans Am Coupe/Vert

**** those tards! I looked at buying a WS6 from them a little over a year ago. Right on the site it says "Call us, we love to haggle". Bullshit! They wouldn't budge on the price. They were dicks when I talked to them to boot. They also had a nice WS6 for sale or so I thought. It was ridiculously cheap. After reading the tiny print at the bottom I found out why. It had been totalled and rebuilt in a half *** manner. No airbags were relaced and a bunch of other parts were still screwed up too.

It does not have the option code for Firehawk, it would say on its invoice. I know SS Camaro's say it on the invoice.

There's also a thread about a CETA with yellow tint on the windows that looks really fishy. Not neally as bad as the Firehawk, but it's probably a mutt as well.

The "Better Business Bureau" would be the one to contact about false advertisement.

Also, this is posted on E-Bay, they would also be a good place to report this.

ebay does have an active frauds department.I alerted them about one of those too cheap cars that was overseas,ready to be shipped to the U.S. scams.They pulled the auction and got back to me very quick.Drop them a line with the auction number and the problem they should respond.

Fake WS6:

Maybe a real SS, but its rims are gone

Such crooks! With how many fake cars, you know these guys are buying hoods. Be interesting to see how many hoods these guys have purchased--and how many rare cars they have sold

The SS looks like a freakin V6 man, did u see the catback? Its probably a Z28 and he's trying to sell it as an SS. What does he think, that people are stupid?

AGGHHHHH.... being a CETA owner, this pisses me off even more... check out this HALF-ASSED FAKE CETA:
http://www.texastoys.com/all_big.php?car_id=61

There are so many things wrong with that car it's not even funny. The hood decals are incorrect, the Trans Am on the door was put WAY too high, and CETAs exhaust outlets on the bumper aren't supposed to be painted yellow, they're black! The bird on the rear between the tail lights is the incorrect color as is the "Trans Am" writing that is there... it's red... it's supposed to be a light silver/gray. I need to stop now... this is pissing me off way too much just looking at this thing... $26k... even for a legit CETA with those miles, what rip off.

I'm guessing it's a genuine CETA, just a salvage job. IT would cost mroe to paint it that hirrble ******* yellow all over thna it's worth. They proably just repainted the outside after the patched some body panels on it, and used repro decals...those ******* are expensive. That's why none on the sides (feathers)
