Not to everyone's liking but good that a serious modder has taken an interest in a wedge (but asking too much wedge...)

I don't like modified cars, but for some reason I am attracted to it. Not sure what the attraction is, but it looks good. For the asking price I would at least expect the floor mats to be clean. Why do vendors not present their goods in the best possible way to attract buyers ?

Looks like it's not good for anything except sitting in car parks. The clearance is just ridiculously small :|

That's because the air suspension is down.

Having a heavy thing like that on the roof has certainly lowered the suspension.
