Default When money and taste are no issue: Gold Plated 3GS

Still ... it's a better waste of our money than RPG's.

when gold is coming out of your ***, and you have nowhere to put it, plate it on your car.

I would prefer it flat delorean style myself.

I wonder how much actual gold it takes to do that -- I'm going to guess, weight wise, not a lot depending on how thick the plating is (if it's even gold). Of course, the actual plating procedure for all of the panels must cost a lot.
