Not to my taste and certainly not something I would pay $15K for.

I can appreciate the labor and the final product, but this is too much even for me! Couldn't imagine this as a daily driver......

The mirroring effect of that chrome skin is likely to be a real hazard in traffic, and driving it could prove somewhat dangerous..."what were they thinking" comes to mind.

They must be related. I saw this one over the summer at an all Vette cruise in . BTW the driver had shoes that matched the car...

You guys understand that a wrap can be removed right?

Don't really prefer the car, but silver shoes might be nice. We could wear them with our tin foil hat.

We trudge on.

I'd like to see these at night, with headlights being reflected off them. I'll bet there's potential for confusion, resulting in accidents, and of course, lawsuits. For show purposes only, they look

Yeah, but would you buy a wrapped car if you didn't know what the paint looks like underneath?

Kind of neat to look at but I wouldn't want to get caught dead driving it.

You can pull it off on a Lambo or something. On a Vette, its just trying too hard (or something like that) IMO.

I'm starting to see more and more of these wrapped cars at shows. Sort of cool to look at but I certainly wouldn't want to drive one full time. There was a bright blue new Camaro at a local show last week. Pretty smart idea by the dealer because the car certainly drew a lot of onlookers who then looked at the non-wrapped Camaros.
