The only thing I can give this guy credit for is hit attention to detail, even though it's WAY overdone.

I think the switches are getting to me though. I mean, I don't know if I want to be 'hittin switches' in my SC. Maybe in my 64...

Even though im not into "lowrider" type cars he did put alot of work and money into the car. Paint is done nice and so is the soundsystem. Like i said its a nice car for lowrider magazine..something 99% of us aren't into.

Now I've seen it all!...all on the same car!

What bothers me is that this took a fortune to create.

Somebody please try to explain to me the logic behind those headrests.
I'm sure they're real comfy but must be a pain in the neck to watch a movie.

How about those speakers!

I won't even start with the exterior. I just don't have that kind of time.

I'm sure doing this to a car must carry some kind of a prison term.
Perhaps death!

And it's not even a convertible, it's just a carriage top. What the hell is that crap in the trunk anyway?

Oooh, wait, I didn't even notice that he needed the California duster to hold up his trunk lid. Sad.

The hydraulic pumps so he can "hit dah switches" and be a pimp down the street dragging his poor, defenseless remnants of a fine SC thru his hood.

Anybody notice the gold-plated hood lift supports and matching bling-bling hinges and wipers?

This guy's all class.

I remember this car. It was posted on ebay a few months back. It was hideous then, and it's still hideous now, although at least he replaced his cut up steering wheel with a real one this time.

I cant believe someone would actually do that... thats thousands and thousands of dollars that could have been used making the vehicle restored to mint condition wasted on all that crap. The tvs in the front of the headrests are without a doubt the most retarded thing ive ever seen... Ive seen tvs in the headrests of the back seat, so the car behind you can watch at the stoplight (and thats REALLY stupid) but to have it in a spot where noone could possible ever see them....

Hmmm.....If it went cheap enough, I'd buy it.....take off 90% of the useless **** in there....sell it off and get a turbo.
The engine looks super clean and the ragtop I don't mind that much.

What are those things just in front of the rear wheels?

Question

I always wonder how these tasteless idiots stockpile the funds to customize their cars, and where is it they come from where this type of modding is considered cool or stylish?? In all seriousness, I live in Los Angeles and have seen some of the most hooded our cars you can imagine. Often I want to approach the driver and ask them if any one person that they know finds this even remotely nice looking? The gold windshield wipers turn my stomach, the HUGE oversized rims gave me a headache, the silly rag top made my vision blurr for almost an hour, I won't even try to explain what the sight of monitors in the wrong side of the headrests, the "tasselled duster" that he's using as a trunk strut is very innovative!, and oh my the hydraulics! This is a prime example of someone who needs to be robbed, because obviously him having money is a bad thing for everyone...

Drugs, robbery, food stamps, wellfare, insurance fraud, maybe even government hand-outs for an obvious mental handicap?

A car like this is an easy way to launder 50 grand if you really wanted to.
