    Thoughts on the video below? I know many of you will be having convulsions watching but I’m genuinely impressed by the interior build.

    $400K to make a really beautiful car horrific. Maybe they can add some diamonds or powder coat to a Patek or maybe touch up a Picasso or two…..

    BUT beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if it makes him happy then God bless….

    Money doesn’t buy taste. It’s cute they think 400k is some monumental lift.

    The amount of craft, hours and attention to detail are very impressive. Having said that it doesn't come together all that well. The Liberty Walk look doesn't really harmonize well with these models. I love the overfenders on Stanceworks 308 but it looks tacky and overdone on the 458.

    The final results would have been better suited to freshen up an older car. The wrap color and white wheels just don't do it for me either - looks very JDM Honda Civic like. The whole build has a lot of skill but not enough restraint. At the end it looks very tacked together and not cohesive. When it is lowered on the bags it's a bit grotesque. Has a salvaged rebuild vibe.
