Yah i saw that car at sema.. I was amazed that they chopped the top off but to each their own i guess.. I have to give some respect for all the craftsmanship but definitely not my taste

reminds me of what Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) said in the end of the movie about not ruining his Gran Torino.

oh and this has nothing to do with VIP.

HOWEVER... to each their own and I DO applaud his efforts. Crazy.

Every time I see this thing I feel offended. The owner is a clown. I am not playing that " to each his own " BS. That car look mutilated

If the car had a removable roof or atleast the rear windsheild it would be usable and then be practical.
In all honesty we know it is not for practical use . So you can't judge it on that but on a show trailer queen level.
I can't speak for anyone else but i would love a new GS , and seeing one that can't be used breaks my heart.

I am hoping it was a write off and cannot be driven on the road from being rolled which is why it is the way it is.
Oh well not my car.

No, it's terrible cos it's terrible. Any vehicle with a crocodile vagina on the steering wheel boss is a sign of poor taste

what really just pushes the entire thing over the dge ( other than the entire car) is the lame *** reptile skin on the steering wheel. That is soooooooo ghetto I can barely even stand it. I tink you would get pulled over by the LAPD is 2 seconds driving that POS anywhere in LA.

This is what happens when you take serious drugs and are locked in a room with a sawz-all, electricity, bondo and a DUB Magazine. Gross.
