Also if the carbon fiber is cracked I don't think you can ever get the rebuild title for insurance purposes. Repairs, insurance, labor, shipping etc. There are cheap i8s all over ebay. I dont get it.

Yes this is project car. Properly repaired (which this will be) is insurable. Remember, all the carbon piece are bonded together. They can be replaced (its a process but doable). The cost of the car, plus parts and my free labor makes it affordable for me to have a slightly used/very abused I8. A project like this is not for everyone. Fyi its a 2019 with 1800 miles.
