It's interesting, but there's a few flaws in the execution of the paint scheme, which is what I have a problem with. First off, I don't like the rims. Chrome or andonized red rims would've been better. The paint scheme itself is interesting, but what (s)he should've done is continued the silver from the rear hatch to the door or something to that effect. The fact that the hatch was painted silver to create the "two one" is what makes it not look right. If it continued into the rear quarter panels along the lines of the B-pillar and near the window, that would've been a little better. Overall, interesting idea, not too bad, just needs a little better execution of the paint job.

I like the color of the POS house. Looks like he's trying to color coordinate.

would look so much better if it was blended and even. Maybe bring that pewter/silver color down a couple inches with a black like seperating the colors! It looks like that guy just switched body panels on the top!

The car is ruined, your reading too technically into what I wrote, I was making a laughable comparison to it.
