Not a very good pic before, and some mixed opinions?

Lambda_drive · 12-24-2006, 04:55 AM

Reminds me of a pretty girl in frumpy cloths.

CrashTestDummy · 12-24-2006, 05:20 AM

you should be shot. That is a sacrilege.

macfly · 12-24-2006, 05:47 AM

Thats a tough call, I'm just not sure which is uglier, the paint or the front plate.

Hey I don't really care for it either, but no need to be shot for it. To each his own. You just need to finish it off with some 20's, a plush dashboard, one of the steering wheels made out of welded chain links, and don't foget the whistle tip for the exhaust.

+1 for balls and creativity

Not to my taste for my I car but I think it looks pretty cool. I'd love to see it in person. I remember some of the last gen Mustangs painted with a similar type paint.

Can you post a picture of it in bright sunshine, please?

Isn't the car in England? You may be waiting awhile for that pic.

I think it would have looked a bit better with a little less metalflake, the combination of flake & color changing paint is just a tad overkill. I do think the chameleon paint can look cool on these cars, they certainly have the lines for it.

DragonRider1 · 12-24-2006, 06:18 AM

It looks like a cross after Kermit the frog humped a japanese beetle for the sheen effect. If this was a Honda it would fall under "How could someone spend so much to lower the value of a car" category. As long as you like it, enjoy! If it was the first Elise I ever saw I'd not bother to pull my camera out for it.

Where does the tow rope hook up? Can you pull more than one skiier at a time?

brant · 12-24-2006, 07:31 AM

It isn't what I would do, but I think with less metal flake it would look pretty cool. A curvy car is definitely the right kind of car for that kind of paint.

LotusUSA · 12-24-2006, 07:34 AM

Looks like our secretary's nail polish. I like! Not!

delise · 12-24-2006, 07:43 AM

When I was a kid I had a funny little bicycle that was made up to look like a dragster and the banana bicycle seat looked just like that paint. Are you going to use your car for advertising your business as a kind of mobile billboard?

Jules in SD · 12-24-2006, 08:08 AM

I'll stick with the stock colors.

OneFastLotus · 12-24-2006, 08:15 AM

Does that model come with a free fishing reel and tackle box?
