Even if the color was acceptable,,,,,,my thought is still

"Cool", Uh yeah sure if you say so.... I hope you are kidding.

Now all it needs is a couple of neon running board lights and a giant coffee can muffler.

Of course it may already have them.

I believe I am seeing that the vent grills below the windshield are painted a nice green color too.......

I am sorry and I am usually forgiving about style, but YUK. Not only is the color bad but it looks like they drove it a paint shop and said, "paint it all"

JCD

It's not easy being green...

Dan

I bet it would look great with gold wire wheels

Elsewhere on this forum are pics of a 300CD in battleship gray. The headlight surrounds were painted to match the body (but not the bumper) and I thought it looked pretty cool. I think it depends on the body style and the color, mostly.

Seriously, that was my first impression.

Grauenhaft. Sehr.

(gruesome is a good translation).

That color just makes anything that might redeem the concept harder to see. Have to agree with TXBill, the overall impression is awful. Jim

I must confess. It's not mine!

Hope I didn't upset my fellow ShopForum member by bringing up the subject of their car.

To say something positive - at least there is some rust prevention involved.



P.S. Elvis wouldn't be seen DEAD driving that car!
