Garbage i dont think so maybe a couple. but some of those cars have invested lots of money and time to stand out from the rest. VIP style is not the only way to go.

And by garbage I was really talking about the 2tone one and the orange one. The yellow one is a model car and the midnight one is obviously a video game car.... The green one with the flares actually looks sick from what I can tell.

When I get done with my car the only thing that would not be considered VIP is the color. But have you seen some of the VIP cars in japan. I might just fit in when im done.!

Yeah i hear you, and yes you can pick up a garbage gs for 4500 but your not gonna get a decent on for 4500 trust me. You can pick up a garbage 2002 745il bmw with a gang of miles for 7500 just like the benz and then you have one that has low miles selling for 20+ alll depends on the seller and who is buying.

Well after those comments I am kind of scared to post pics now, but oh well I like it. I prob would have gone with a solid color in retrospect but I am not putting any more money in a 2000.

My color is OEM, but if I were to go with a custom paint job, it will probably be a kandy brandywine....I want something that will be close to the black cherry OEM paint.

Keep your head up. Not everybody is going to be a fan of your color scheme. Not everybody can afford $7000 paint job.or is willing to invest in an older car, all that matters is that you enjoy it. Trust I get a lot **** for my car but I get more love out of Clublexus. By the way your car looks clean
