It was in C5 General. Some thought it looked good. OK.

Looks like to me - but I'm old...

Now if they had put a "JackHammer" in there like what EG posted in another thread I might give them some slack.

that car is extreme just for the sake of being extreme. That's all.

Ignore it and it goes away.

uhh so much work went into that car but they def went about it the wrong way, the outside could be easily fixed by a one color paint job, the inside however would take some work, maybe if it was all a flat black it wouldnt look nearly as bad, as it sits it hurts my eyes and brain.

The problem I have with it is overall - it looks like voided human waste product.

The "theme", if you can call it that, of Geiger-like artwork (think Alien) is poorly executed, confusing, with no flow or plan. It ends up looking like nothing - just junk.

It doesn't matter how much hard work or money that went into it - it is a mess.

BTW, I was slammed for saying this about this car in C5 General..

Well, it WAS a lot of hard work. And skill. But oh-so-misdirected...

(though I'm sure it got the creator's all the publicity they were hoping for, so in that sense it's a winner)

I have seen this car in person. As for hard work...yes alot of it...skill...no way. They stuff 50lbs of crap into a 5lb bag. The details on the custom work is horrible. Everything looks great in the middle but when you get to the edges where panels meet it very bad.

I must saythe airbrush work is fantastic.

The best part of that whole "car" is the DLS 3" dome midranges in the door that you can see in EG's pics ... they f'n own.
