Most of us in this lifetime do not have enough mulah to joyride a Lamborghini. So what does one do to get hold of a world famous Italian sports car? We believe you need to get in touch with Jackie Johnson from Car Kit INC which is based in Alabama, United States.

And if you do, Car Kit INC transforms your car such as a Toyota MR2, Porsche Boxster, Dodge Neon or the long-discontinued Pontiac Fiero into a Lamborghini with their Lambo kits. However we are not sure, if Jackie Johnson and his team would be able to continue with their Lambo replica kits in the coming days. Industry sources are reporting that Lamborghini has filed legal documents in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Alabama. Lamborghini claims, the kits are blatant rip-offs of its Gallardo and Murcielago supercars.

On a lighter note, Jackie Johnson was heard saying ~ his cars "are just for fun." Lamborghini for sure has taken this seriously and has requested Car Kit INC to send across a video tape of them destroying the Lambo kit molds using a chain saw. 'Boy! Oh, Boy!' this is turning out to be a serious concern for Lamborghini.

As the bloodshed continues between Lamborghini and Car Kit INC, let's take a look at Car Kit INCs Lambo replica's. Is it really such a BIG deal?
