I think whoever did that is going to pay for their poor taste on the resale value.

That's an incredible paint job on it, probably cost a lot of money to get that 'marble' look. I like it, although, I would've made the white marbled too and did the two tone along the angles of the car. The marble and plain textures don't go well together. Imagine that with matching white and maroon marble painted chrome rims, show car for sure

so far, this one has been my favorite two tone. I think it's either hit or miss when people try to do it:

wow thats horrible...stock pie plates might have been on for resale, i never trade my car in with rims and when i sell private party I try to sell my wheels seperate since they dont really add much in value and turn off some buyers.

I saw this the other night too, and I thought I was seeing things and had too much grey goose to drink and just turned off my iPad and went to sleep! LOL I guess it's REAL.

Real ugly.
