The spacing between body panels are very equal and the body lines are all clean.  I'd venture it's the real deal.  Is that an impound or salvage lot?  It's too clean to have been there for any time and the tops are off.

it's not an impound. I think someone bought the building for storage and repairs (the location has lifts and a bay). that car has been sitting there for a couple week now, WITHOUT the tops!

I think its a kit. it's missing headlight covers, blinkers(not even cut out), badges, door corner windows, etc. although it could be getting some repairs done

I did some searching and found that it's a Ferrari f50 body style.

yup, but missing some parts, which makes me think it's either a kit or being repaired. I did some searching, and I couldn't find another raw carbon fiber bodied F50

I vote kit -- but a nice one.

I'd say kit, too (ditto a very nice one!)

Real Thing has a single wheel bolt, while this one has covers.

The grille on the Kit is obviously homemade.

Other than that (and previously mentioned items), DANG!

It's fake. Look at the wheels. Look at the seats. The front. The holes are not even cut out for the turn/parking lights. The body is not correct lengths. Althought it is nicely done but the attention to detail is not there.
