    The following car is advertised as "no paint work".

    Does anyone know if this was a factory paint option in 2005, or is this someting "custom"?

    I would assume with the custom wheels, that it would be a custom job. Not really liking it either. Anymore pictures of the stripe?

    The factory will do anything you want, if you pay them enough.

    If they are claiming it's factory, they should be able to either show you documentation. There should also be a PPG paint sticker on the under side of the hood, which might give you a clue.

    It might be a wrap?

    The PPG paint sticker & other shots. Can you tell from this PPG sticker if this "seems right"?

    Grigio Ingrid is a metallic gray-tan. That is not it.

    love the two tone, but the stripe looks...a little off. Something with the lines, down towards the front bumper. Just doesn't look right. Bad paint job? Throw a stripe off of the Scuderia and it might suite the car a littler better.

    And yes, lets hope it's a wrap. Definitely not Nuovo Grigo Ingrid.

    doesnt look good! To were a strip it has to be on a car that can carry it. Not a gt car in my opinion.

    The stripe is most definitely off center. I think its less thick to the right side of the badge. Im guessing a professional, meaning sports player or musician/rapper did this. They always seem to want something very different and they usually end up looking like this.

    Stripe is horrible, but I think two-tone suits the car well.

    You would think they would unwrap it and change the wheels if they REALLY want to sell it.

    This car has been removed from the dealership and is now scheduled to go to acution (Manheim, Palm Beach) on March 8th. Maybe the perfect spot to move this car!

    Manheim has inspected the car and flagged it as having unibody damage (prior accident). They regularly apply this label, so their isn't a scale of significance, but it is a black-mark nonetheless. The title is clean though.

    At the acution, the car was bid up to $100,000 but the auctioneer announced the reserve was $110,000.
