I was thinking the same thing... funny how some will defend other members if they are getting picked on because of their car but will go out of their way to pick on people that they assume are not members

Who the hell would pay more money for that car with its wrap? Who would pay to wrap the car like that if it was decent underneath?

Putting a crappy wrap on a nice car and expecting to sell it for more than the unwrapped car��

This was listed in our For Sale section just a few weeks ago. There were some pretty interesting comments. I guess it's a transformer wrap with a decent car underneath but looks like it was in a fire... It qualifies as a "must see" alright..

It's a current trend, but not something I'd want.

With that said, this GT4 in heavily aged Martini livery looks pretty cool.

I could go for an aged Martini right now. But tomorrow is Monday. The Porsche looks pretty cool and I guess this "look" has a following of some sort..

It would have to be a really good price though.

I love it, actually looking to do something similar on mine. Either a rust patina wrap or a zombie wrap(blood splatter). This is 100x better then people sticking chrome parts all over C5s.

Finally a car that black rims look good on. Now all it needs is a spoiler.

The "rusted patina" look some of the restoration/resurrection car shows like "Loud & Fast" are always going for.

It is kind of funny actually. They clear coat over the rust and then charge as much for the car as if it had a show car paint job.
