A little over the top for me, but the quality of the work looks great.

Agree. Workmanship is good. I can appreciate the time they put into the car to get it to look like that. Im sure it's just a show car though.

Love the flames. Love the way the interior and exterior compliment each other. The workmanship is suberb. However, I agree with the other guys - the color combo is not for me. A bit over-the-top.

Not my favorite! IMHO!

I've always wanted to paint a car in a candy apple green color, ever since I saw a GM concept truck in that color back in 1998. Without seeing this actual car in person, it's hard to say exactly how that color looks, but on my monitor it looks just a tad lighter than I would want it. If anyone remembers the Bright Green Metallic color that came on the 97-98 Camaros and Firebirds, that's similar to the shade of green I would want. So it's a little bit lighter than a British Racing Green or Forest Green.
