How Does this look to you?

Found this on autotrader. For being different, I don't think it looks too bad.

I remember that car. I was in a judged show and he was in my class when I had my RS. I took first and he took second. He was not very happy, it was the last time I ever saw that car. He said he had over $30K invested.

Well, I don't like the rims and the interior color is ugly and the design for the paint is ugly... other than that, not bad.

I think the paint is horrid, pink, I dont like, not even the Diva. Wheels are not the best. Suicide doors, who cares. Interior, it sux, I dont like the color, and 2 10's in that location seems like an awful waste of space.

Hood is cool, the black paint on the car looks sweet ( the whole car should be that color). And maybe add a bare naked lady to the hood, then I will like it.

That car was on ebay awhile back. I think the cowl hood is nice but everything else is crap to me. Suicide doors only look good on hot rods in my opinion. I dunno, I think the whole thing looks like some gangsta wannabe barbie car.

I like the car, the guy dared to be different which almost always gets flamed in these forums. It look like it got some of the detailing or mods a lowrider would get like the sucide doors, the wheels, the ride height, the custom interior, etc, but it was done nice and right, most of the time its always tacky with crushvelvet all over the place, spoke wheels, that car looks very good from being a custom, and if it looks good to alot of people for being a custom its done good, cause when it doesnt look like how there suposed to most people arent going to like it

A labor of love

That thing is a labor of love, someone put in the labor, and im sure they loved it. Seems as though it was a car that survived the 80's in a plastic bubble. Ultimately, its Domestic Rice.

Atleast he removed the Camaro badging on the car. I'd be ashamed for that to roll up next to my IROC wearing similar badges. Has anyone ever seen those fake tickets that people put on rice burners ? They have violations that say things like

Excessive use of pastels,
Wings violating FAA standards
Disgusting use of Bondo

etc..etc ... if anyone has seen these pads, know where I can get em ?

I can appreciate the work that went into it. The colors were a little more popular a few years back...
I myself would have went with a orange/silver graphics combo on that black.

The suicide doors don't impress me. They look different, but they serve no other purpose.

The wheels are cool. I like 'em.

The colors do scream Barbie though

To each his own....
