that Benz is the Garson DAD car. those are Swarovski crystals. Not sure why a company that is soooo into the VIP aftermarket would use a coupe as their model car...not to mention a german coupe.:uh:

Even disregarding the bling factor, an all-chrome car like that would be not only impractical but dangerous to drive on the street...especially on a bright sunny day. It would blind not only other drivers but its own as well.

Just out of curiosity, are those pictures from SEMA? That's the kind of stuff you're most likely to see at the SEMA show.

interesting...

i've had brief thoughts (keyword: brief) about covering my entire car with the same reflective foil that people use to make stickers.

sl looks ****ing sickkk

Looks pretty good, Dave......IMO, better than a lot of the stuff that's come out of the BMW plants themselves lately.

I like that chrome paint job.

The silvia was in Superstreet... but it was a "quickie" feature so there's not much info on it. And the Benz was at Sema... stated as one of the hot 100... again from Superstreet.

Well, I don't have eyes in the back of my head. I can't monitor all of the threads at once.

And you can?

there is also a gallardo that was done in all chrome, I'll look for the pics and video... Owner is from Dubai, but drives it daily.

I think the S15 might look really nice if it werent for the paint job and ugly front bumper...

humor:

wit: a message whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter
the trait of appreciating (and being able to express) the humorous; "she didn't appreciate my humor"; "you can't survive in the army without a sense of humor"
temper: a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling; "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time"; "he was in a bad humor"
the quality of being funny; "I fail to see the humor in it"
(Middle Ages) one of the four fluids in the body whose balance was believed to determine your emotional and physical state; "the humors are blood and phlegm and yellow and black bile"
liquid body substance: the liquid parts of the body
put into a good mood

Lighten up, it was a joke.

24lbs since August? Damn... Are you on the Biggest Loser or stopped eating or something?

Walking and swimming daily, and a sensible diet. (When you are retired you have more time to take care of yourself)

( I was also tired of having sore feet, standing on them for hours at car shows....daily walking helps with that, too, by getting foot muscles back into shape).

Can you just imagine an all-chrome car in the bright Dubai desert sun?
That reflection would go all the way to China.

A while back I saw a chromed wide-body 8 series in this Asian plaza. It looked like it needed a re-polish.

Contrary to our belief, not too much light bounced off its body, since it was all smudged.

However, if it was after treatment, I'm sure it would've become a moving laser tower.

Or perhaps...not enough bling.

Did it yourself? You must have steady hands...

Lol oh no way... she sent it off to a place CL member Cathafer recommended and had it done. They did a great job, and the thing really shines when the sun hits it.
