Good for "show" but not "go".

Audi did something like that too. Are those even legal to drive out on the streets...I thought they were just for show?? Personally I wouldn't get one.

doubt they would be street legal due to the reflections (sun, headlights, etc.) they look cool nonetheless. they almost look invisible because they blend into the surroundings

Yes, as the others said, great for show, but definitely would cause accidents on the street.

It is amazing how they can look like that.

well im guessing even the bumpers are made of metal so at a financial standpoint it probably wouldnt be a good idea to make a car chrome since getting into an accident would cost substantially more....no? cant just sand the thing and repaint...

Thats a bit too much for me....maybe great as a show car, but not for the road since it blends in with the surroundings.
