If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, someone needs to get their eyes checked.

Someone paid lot of money to paint there car, and it made the car his by personalizing it. If he liked it, why should I slam it.

Maybe he didn't pay for it. He or a buddy may have been going to technical school and experimented on his own car. I can't believe anyone would pay to have that done.

I'd be more interested in how much money he lost by pawning it.

Gee why didn't I think of a nightmare theme for my outside doors?

There has to be a story behind the paint. Perhaps don't ask for "an insane paint job bro", or try to match your boat and bike, who knows. It can't be just bad taste, not that much of it.

I have noticed a lot of C5 owners have more money than they know what to do with it.

I guess we should be happy he didn't buy two then:rofl

I really can't appreciate the work involved because the work is terrible. The dividing line is a green on green that clashes. The line itself isn't following any body lines, in fact its breaking up the natural lines of the car on both the nose, tail and wtf is the drop on the door? Jo Ann fabrics fake alligator interior....really?
