Wow. What a half-assed job.
1. No head rests?!
2. Subs don't fit at all- that'd be smashed and stolen the first night its parked outside.
3. No sunvisors.
4. Paint chips on the interior everywhere!
5. I bet the speakers are all out of phase due to the absurd amount.
6. Wood wheel? Snakeskin interior door handle plastic trim?
Almost kinda cool.

you guys are nuts. That thing is gangster green with metalflake, it's got dubs, tunes, etc. It's PHAT!
Ok, so you gut the stereo and re-do it with quality components. Replace the headrests and sunvisors, maybe some trim. Replace the V6 with a GMPP crate motor and you've Pimped Your Ride!
It was a lame car to begin with, it's better now, but just needs some attention to detail. At least it's not another clown with a Transmaro claiming it's a super rare one of a kind factory hotrod with 600hp.

THere are some aspects which I think really look pretty good, but then others its like who ever did it lost interest and did not want to invest into making it just a little nicer.

I can't tell if the seller's camera sucks or if it's the paint - in some pics (like the rear end shots) it looks like there is a pile of lint on the camera's lense...
The car doesn't do it for me either, but someone will like it - based on the genre of car ie.DUBBS type, this green machine suites it well - I see all kinds of DUBBS at the stores that have this type of customization(s)

Gawd! 
that is hideous!!!!! you know, the green is kinda unique, might look okay if it wasn't metallic.
The rest of it looks like a budget lowrider... keep it on the Caddys and Impalas people LOL

Damn, lots of haters in here. Can't believe the number of folks that are so quick to judge.
Granted the green is a matter of taste/preference. But notice that the paint is smooth, glossy, and appears even. The metalflake is unique, also a matter of preference. Pay attention and you'll notice the flames aren't only in a contrasting color, but there is also a second row of ghost flames. The door handles, door moldings, weatherstripping, etc is all there and looks good.
All in all the outside (while it takes some getting used to) is really well done.
The interior was probably trashed. The new upholstery doesn't look bad, and it's not a failed attempt at replicating the factory look, it's a custom makeover. Definitely looks better then a frankensteined interior with 4th gen Firebird seats that would be generally accepted as normal here. The multiple speakers go above my personal preference, but again it's a custom thing and some people would definitely think it's neat.
The engine compartment could use some help, but why bother? It's a 6cyl. Nothing is really going to make it stand up to any kind of scrutiny. Even if every piece was chromed to a mirror finish it would still be gay since it's a 6. At least it's not a Chevy orange 305 with leaky chrome valve covers and a Holley or Edelbrock triangular aircleaner.
The paint/bodywork and the wheels would cost more then the Buy it Now. The stereo could be knocked down to realistic in a quick hurry just by removing all the speakers in the doors and building an enclosure for the subs to replace the backseat.
Either way, it's not even close to the worst I've ever seen, and in a lot of ways it's a very unique and interesting car.
Here are some snapshots of some dream cars that are a lot worse then this one.

Playstation in the dash is kinda cool. I thought you couldn't mount something like that or a cd changer there, any insight?

Hey, I'm trying to bring the edumacation level up. I'm not perfect. Just because it's an automotive message board, doesn't mean that all grammar is set aside. Point taken, John. I'm going to read a book that tells me when to use the word "neither" instead of "either"

hmmm. i think i could live with the paint, but thats it. what an abortion.
the trunk looks like shat, stupid plywood boxes just jammed in there with no rhyme or reason, the most retarted choice of wheels ive ever seen. the guy is probably selling the car because he is embarrased to be seen near it.
love the single exhaust and the sweet tow hitch

haha I didn't see the trailer hitch!
It looks like it might break $5000 in the bids! That's sad... more than a nice Iroc!
I like the PS2 in the dash... but I'd choose a CD changer. I think you have to remove some vent piping though.
