if the car was done right, and by right I'm obviously not including the hideous color scheme, then someone might be willing to give him what he's looking for it.

i think "de-pimping" ( is that the appropriate word?) would cost a lot. of course, somewhere out there in the world there is someone who would pay good money for those hideous wheels? (i think?)

once i become ruler of the universe, such vulgarities will be outlawed, their owners put in stocks, etc.

I think the term was "de-bling" but I cant be sure, I may have coined it a few years back when I posted pics of the two gold trimmed cars I have hahaha

de-bling is appropriate. i guess you're not in favor of the stocks idea?
