That is a damn tragedy! 
Am I the only one hating on this??
Knowing what T/A should look like, Its not something I would do personally if it were my car. But now if i was just some average joe driving down the street and I saw that, I think Id be blown way. I guess its up to the owner and who he's looking to impress. There's many more people in this world who dont know what an F-Body is letalone when one's being discraced (not that I feel this is a discrace, just saying). Personally, Im in no position to criticize his car. Im sure it gets all the attention that he wanted.

The fact that anyone would associate a unique paint job with rice is not only unbelievable, but just shows how ignorant that person is. 
If you want to title it, title it gawdy or ugly, but saying it looks like rice because of a custom paint job, you look like a tool.
I openly said in one of the first posts that I thought it looked good, I'm not afraid to admit that I like things DIFFERENT. I'd much, much rather see something like this T/A than the other clones that don't do anything to the appearance of their car except maybe get a new set of rims, lower it, and call it a day. Amen for someone walking down the path less walked on, and props for having the guts to do it. It's freshness and uniqueness that I love to see on an FBody when there's so many others that are exactly the same. I'd much rather do something different to my car that isn't what the general population likes, or else I wouldn't have my Z-Roc / Stinger hood. I bought it just because no one else likes it. Then again, if I wanted to be a tool like most of the people on FBody websites, I'd have an SS hood and spoiler, no ground effects, a Berger panel, and a set of chrome wheels.

If your saying its nicer than the clean look of an ss hood, spoiler and nice set of simple chrome wheels, based purely on the fact that its "different" than you have some issues. Sure the guy has a set of brass nuts painting his car like that, or a severe eye disease.
lol no I'm not saying it's nicer just because it's different, but I respect him more than I do someone that leaves their car bland. And like it or not, he's the one that'd win a car show.
