Is extreme "paint"/exteriors the newest thing out?
Just curious as to opinions. I have seen a few cars with extreme paint including the double diamond benz and this Chrome Lambo. Is there a chrome GS 2gen in the works somewhere? Is it even street legal since the glare could act as a mirror?

Yeah, it was 50 cent and he refused to step out of the car after being pulled over.

A guy in our car club had a 94 Twin Turbo Supra that was painted in this chrome color. TO be honest, from a distance it looks pretty good, but up close I didn't think it was that great. He repainted it a different color, but ASAIK during that time he had it he never got pulled over for it.

All-Chrome-finish cars, IMO, should be illegal for street use. On a sunny day, they can blind their own and other drivers.

50 cent had just got his car painted and they left his plates in the 'truck'.....he got pulled over for not having plates on it.
He'd get mobbed if he stepped out he car

I can see the owner's manual now - instead of washing . . . watering.
