agh it's so over the top! yes it's a show car but jeez. no matter how clean and shiny that car is, no one will ever say that it looks "clean."
I can see someone doing this to a car for their own project - it's their's. Their creativity, their expression. But to think that someone would buy it like this - even if they like it - with no work of their own put into it... it seems ludicrous.

HR Giger style images are cool on guitars or tatoos, but not all over a car. His designs are too mobid and sexual explicit for the general public. Giger did the original Alien design.

seriously though, only a douchebag would buy this car. what kind of car show afficionado with that kind of cash would buy a car that's already tricked out like that? they would want to do it themselves and add their own persnal touch. show cars are supposed to be labors of love.

lol i live in the area and see this car all the time. its nice car with alot of detail and he actually drives the car to and from shows.
if someone would buy this car they wpould have a really hard time trying to do a state inspection because of the dash.
lol over done.. with those parts distributed to 10 tc owners.. it will make 10 slightly modified tcs look better lmao.. but all in one car is too much.. I cant imagine how the guy will react to the comments here after spending 140k on show car that ended up like a complete trash
