Eh, I don't really know what to say about that.

I do know that the imagination and work involved in that thing is crazy, but I don't really think it's my style. I guess it's more of a marketing tool anyway with that kinda sound system.

Sorry, that just looks terrible.

I know it took some amazing craftsmanship and tons of time and the actual work that was done is great, but it just looks like a car that Spawn would drive.

My hat is off to the craftsmanship, as I know how much of a pain and tedious long hours can be wrapped up in custom work as such....

show car or no show car, that thing is fawkin hideous....a waste of a perfectly nice beemer, IMO

i give props to the quality of the workmanship, because i know that took a LOT of work and innovation, but the final, end result is nasty

edit: looks like H. R. Giger was contracted to create the ultimate rice-mobile

the point of a demo car like that is to attract more attention then any other car in the place. Some companies do that by cramming 50 monitors in a car, others do it by being the loudest. Alpine does it by making cars that, whether you like them or not, you are atleast going to walk over and check it out for a closer look.

You never know...it might show up as the car of some comic book hero in a movie. Maybe the Green Hornet will give up his big black limo.

The point of it is to draw attention. I agree with you 100%, but I wouldn't walk over to it, rofl.

Theres other ways in my opinion. You can put a good paint job and big rims on a car to catch your attention. Each to their own. That's some serious work there.
