Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
You know.... I can't say I like it but I really can't say I hate it either. But I think it would grow on me. It's most definately different. And for the most interesting thing is that we got people in Saudi Arabia representing the Thirdgen love. how cool is that? Definately an A+ for originality!

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
I wanna see the V12... I like the door handles, although I would have put them higher up on the door. The interior work looks kinda crappy too, like they just rattle canned everything. I think the back end would look better without the spoiler too, more like how the 5th gen looks. Not sure about the flip up mirrors too, those are supposed to go on escalades and stuff, so you can park in a tight spot without losing a mirror.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
Looks more like a Chrysler 300 than a third gen to me. I am assuming the mirrors turn when the car is actually driven. However, it would be interesting to look in your mirror and see all the nice clouds behind you

"proxemics" - Are you really in Saudi?
What gas go for per gallon over there?

I give the car props for orginality. Make mine in Cobalt Blue.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
Wow talk about craftsmanship! Some high quality work there for sure. Can't say i like all of the styling but wow...did that take some hours or what. Gaps looks good too...i was about to say its all show...but that V12 decal on the back makes me wonder. Brakes are still stock at the least.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
i don't see stock brakes stopping a v12, but i will give credit where credit is due. A lot of time and effort was put into this car, and the end result was not bad at all, originality is there, ingenuity was there, and modifying it to resemble the 5th gen rear was a nice touch. All in all, i like most of the choices for the body work.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
I didn't notice the shiny paint on the interior plastic before. Definitely gives it a unique look, kinda retro too. Nice work.
Are those half spheres on the ground the parking spot markers?
Thank your friend the US Government for taking their share when you buy a gallon. Something like $0.34 per gallon I believe.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
Without the gas tax, it would be much cheaper per gallon, but yes, it would still be ridiculously high. I definitely won't argue with the fact that we are getting ripped off, but some of it is our own country's fault.

when you think about it, it SHOULD cost about 3 dollars to have a gallon of gas shipped from the middle east to america.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
That would be the best Photoshop job I have ever seen in my life. Its a real car, look at the lines between the bumpers and doors. Actually looks like it is based right off the stock body, just moded bumpers, gfx and quarter panels. Looks good, but not really my style.

Maybe those kind of markings serve a purpose. To not get blown up or attacked or anything like that. Showing loyalty to their government. maybe...

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
Nice n' original. I'm impressed. Not a fan of the stickers, but overall it looks like alot of time and effort went into it.
I do like the C6 Z06'esque 1/4 panel scoops(probably non functional though), and I do like the subtle bulge in the rear 1/4s. All in a all an A for effort.

not exactly my taste but its different....the tail light area looks like the Camaro concept car a little. i think it looks like one of those DUB model cars.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
I love to see someone went and did something exotic to one of these cars. I don't like the stickers either, but to each his own I guess. The interior does look like a teenager got a hold of it with a rattle can though. All in all, the exterior is truly unique.

I really like it (exterior wise)!
Now upgrade the brakes and it had better have the v12 like the sticker says or atleast a serious v8.

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
Hmmm... I really like it. Some parts of it are alittle out of place. But over all really cool. My problem with it lies in that windsheild banner... and the INTERIOR.
I REFUSE to believe that someone could do all that work to the outside, and then cobble together a crappy looking speaker set up and cheesy painted panels. Unless its still a work in progress... if it is, please catch pics of it when its doen and the interior matches the exterior in quality!
Otherwise its sweet. A nice LS7 swap, brake upgrade, and some interior work and Ide drool over it alittle!

Re: found this today (really unusual third gen)
In general I don’t know if I like it all that much, but then again I am not into Euro styling all that much.
The front view I don’t mind, sides are ok, but the back end makes me laugh.
Oh I give the person an A+ on originality and effort, but really the back end is just too fat for my taste.
I ponder if this person did the work themselves or if they had a shop do it.
I am guessing a shop.
So, I would definitely give an A+ on craftsmanship and originality but would give a C- as too how much I personally would want to have the end product.
Overall I will give it a B.
I have seen 3rd gens I like much better.
