How can they sue him though?he bought the car so he can do what he wants, if he would of bought it and added new wheels would he get sue'd?If thats true then its fucking pathetic, if hummer were to do the same thing there would be thousands of pissed of limo drivers around the world.

Sounds easy to do
quote
The existing chassis is an AA6063T6 extruded alloy with an AA6022T6 floor which has undergone a Cataphoresis process to prevent corrosion.
The new chassis will replicate the sections of the extruded alloy, but will be made from 12k carbon fibre reinforcement with a high modulus epoxy resin.
The laminate is engineered to give maximum stiffness to the existing sections with minimal weight gain. For example longitudinal unidirectional carbon fibres are placed on top of the beam sections to give stiffness through the length of the chassis, so it will not bend under the extra load of six passengers.
The beams are connected with quasisotropic carbon fibres (+/-45° and 0/90°) for tortional stiffness, this will prevent the vehicle from twisting during high speed turns and retain the ‘feel’ of the car when driven hard.
The chassis will be manufactured by Carbonyte’s HotFusion® process and will be post cured in an Aerospace Autoclave that is capable of curing components at high temperature without inducing stresses into the chassis. The finished chassis will then have maximum properties in terms of TG (the temperature at which the material softens again) and the maximum mechanical properties.
The chassis will then be adhesively bonded into the existing extruded aluminium sections with a structural epoxy adhesive
The adhesive selected for this task exhibits excellent high strength, fatigue resistance and outstanding impact resistance
so basically cut it in half get some carbon fibre sheet and super glue it together!
