Hmm.....the flares look good, but I don't agree with the gills on the front fender flares and the riced-out front bumper.
Chrome paint looks better than I expected on a car.
But imagine how bright it would be at night when a light source reflects off of it. Driving behind with your headlights on would be pretty bright...LoL

I dunno it doesn't have the depth and luster of a real quality chrome job so I'd call it more a "High Polish". Calling it chrome is somewhat a misnomer but the owner of the car would NEVER give up the chance to say his car is chrome even tho it's just reflective paint. 
A true chrome look would be a much more impressive sight. (like the CG Benz one we've seen) For paint tho, this looks damn good.
Legal issues aside I think it's fricken bad. Looks like something the T2000 molten steel killer in Terminator 2 would turn into.
Hawt.

Here are some posts made by the owner on a different forum
So this car will be at SEMA Anyone who is going and wants to catch this car in person, the info is right above. Car will be at the Eisenhaus Booth next to a Ferrari 360GT.
As you can see, the new wheels are on... check out the lip on the rear
Personally I think this paint job looks just as impressive as the Chrome MercBenz's that we saw a while back.

This is MY car, and I was reading through here and wanted to put down some rumours that I see!!
1) The car was never red, it was silver
2) thats a stock M3 exhaust, i had a custom one made specially for my car..
3) theres no motor in it, the motor is out and down in the states, im shipping the car there next week to have it put in, its going to be pushing a bit over 600hp.
4)my rims are not on there, they are 19x11 w/ 305 rears and a 5 inch lip..
5) the interior is tottally re-done, the seats are re leathed w/ grey suede inserts, as well as my streering wheel the same and e brake handle and shift boot
6)i've got a bunch of LCD tv's int her.. I think its 6 total I don't even know, a nice roll cage and a nice clean ICE setup, the brakes consists of 15 inch rotors w/ 8 piston calipers up front, and 13.6 inch 4 piston in the rear made by brembo and cost more than i bargained for!
7) I'll be @ the SEMA show in Vegas Nov 2-6, so if you're around stop by and say hi, i'll be @ the eisenhaus booth next to a ferrari 360GT
if you ahve any questions, send me a PM i'll be sure to answer them...thanks guys for the compliments, and the guys who don't like it, well.. not everyone is the same and I respect that!
Take it easy boys.

If I could attatch pics, I would show you guys the rims, steering wheel and other crap, but thats ok, ill take a few before she gets on the truck to LA.
The paint, well, its a LONG, HARD, ***** of a process unfortunately, and its not cheap either. I bought a mahcine for like 10g's and brought it over from europe just to do this, and had my painter learn specifically how to do it, theres a special technique involved.
I'll throw up some more pics soon!
