Linky no worky, Lex2000, but would enjoy seeing what you're talking about.

I once ran across a Dodge van completely covered (and expertly done, no less) in green plastic astroturf grass like your grandparents had on their screened in porch! Exterior detailing was a breeze!

Here you go

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-2nd-gen-1998-2005/583954-louis-vuitton-edition.html

You need to copy and paste the link I think. It seems all the craigslist ads are expired though so no pics unfortunately

Somebody from the Chicago area with 5K lying around please buy this car and report back if the current owner also has LV edition house (LV windows, LV drapes, LV chimney, LV all day every day)!

The weird thing is they took a relatively clean looking car and ruined it

What impressed me is that somebody put their heart and soul into that car. The quality of the work is very good, aside from some adhesion of the vinyl/leather on the passenger door panel. I wonder who did the work and how they did the exterior. Is that painted or wrapped along the bottom? How did they do the gold details on the wheels?

I imagine this was a matter of earning too much money too quickly and looking to show it off. If you remove the LV badging, it's actually a half way decent looking car.

The owners fall into this "lifestyle / look", while living in a 50k, run down trap house.

When you roll up to a car meet or the local gentlemen's club, people see your hella-swank car, not your house.

With a different aesthetic, the worksmanship would make for an excellent vehicle.

But, who doesn't like LV Dolla Dolla Bill, Y'all???
