In Beverly Hills it might not be a wrap.

Saw this on Rodeo Dr....




Ignore the time stamp, it was 3 years ago, not 16

I have seen chrome wraps before and sometimes they look good and other times not so much. I like the c7 above but would never do it to one if I owned it.

As if the C7 isn't ugly enough, this gold whatever just makes it look more ugly if that's even possible.

There was a 05 I think GTO popping up on Craigslist local to me that had a chrome wrap on it. For some reason, I don't think they look too terribly bad. Gaudy yes, but eye catching none the less.

I doubt I would want to do something like that to one of my cars, but I really do not think it is all that bad. The color combo is great and looks like a quality wrap job.

I have quite a few die cast C5-R's that are special editions in that color chrome variation but, I would never want a full size automobile with that. I'm sure it gets attention because it's radically different, that doesn't mean it's a good thing. Looks like it was professionally done, and it shows. Not my cup of tea but, kudos to the artist. At least they didn't make it a donk.

I just showed the picture to my fiancé. She said "wow." I asked her if she would even get in it if it was mine. Her reply: "nope"

This is what happens when you pay nearly 100-Grand to get noticed on the street and still nobody pays attention!

Not for me. Thing's actually gotta be dangerous in bright sunlight. Can you imagine the glare to other drivers?
