Default Brushed Aluminum ISF w/ pics

Not too sure if this is a repost, but tried searching and nothing came up. IF so, mods please close!
Was surfing around and saw this ISF entirely out of brushed aluminum except the front.. It was at the Tokyo Auto show 2010.

It could be a wrap.

One of the vendors at the Vancouver Autoshow had displayed a selection of wraps to choose from, obviously the popular ones were matte black and carbon, but I do recall they had brushed finishes as well.

...found a pic I took:



In case you can't read it it says from left to right: brushed aluminum, brushed titanium, brushed steel, brushed gold, brushed steel blue.

John DeLorean did that long ago (except was brushed stainless) - overall, it didn't turn out well for him.

It was cocaine that did not work out too well for him, the car would have been fine if he would have stayed away from creative financing.

Wheels look good, especially the lip in the rear. The brushed aluminum look reminds me of the Silver Surfer. Cool look for a little bit, but not my cup of tea. I really like the side mirror turn signals, though.

I like it, but that front bumper is hideous.

I would think it was impossible to get the brushed lines to match up so they left it open. Maybe a silver car would have been a better choice to put the wrap on.

Any wrap with a pattern or design would be tough to align and brushed finish isn't all that elegant.

i acutally like it. i think the wheels and the cf lower portions kind of ruin the car overall.
