I saw this a little while ago. If that was actually airbrushed on, then whoever did it did an incredible job. It's not really my thing, but the artist is crazy talented. If it is just vinyl or something, then meh and it peels right off.


edit: It's paint. Still, good job by the artist.

and they want 28k. I wouldn't pay more than 12k for it, as it needs a 5-8k paint job to return back to stock. So paint + depreciated value from not having original paint = 12k IMO. It's nice paintwork, but it's a stock EVO, not a custom rod, tuner show car or motorcycle.


OH... and it's equipped with a super-rare 6 speed manual... crazy.

Hahaha. Yea I was thinking the same thing.. Man that is hideous. Either way, like already stated the artist looks crazy talented as the work is good, but there is no way I would buy that car.

Not my taste, and I don't think it suits an evo but the guys sure can air brush.

Haha! I've seen that car in person at the stealership! It's by my girlfriend's parent's house in Leesport/Reading, PA.

Not to defend the car in question too much because I would never drive anything that attention grabbing, but I have to say the same can be said for the people who throw on the high dollar wide body kits and/or carbon fiber everything. I've seen an X that had the roof, hood, trunk, fenders and doors completely carbon fiber (or at least a cf look). To me, that is horrible looking and would never do something like that, but other people will. Just like this is horrible to some (most), but some people will dig it. How else would someone pay that kind of money to do something like that if they weren't into beautifully gaudy paintjobs? There is an *** for every seat.

oh, no doubt. Completely agree. It's personal taste, which is fine... until you want to sell it and try to put a price on it.

Not for me but the artist did do a good job. Does the dragon give the car that extra 6th gear?

I saw that at the stealership (Jeff D'Ambrosio) when I got the Ralliart in July 2010. I just kept thinking "Who the hell would want to drive this?" There was a huge scratch on the side, too.
