Again. To each thier own. Lambo doors and tv's dont impress me regardless of what they're on. Custom paint can be cool, but if you ask me, a color close to stock with metal flake in it, isn't custom. I dont care how much its cost. Yes, it draws attention because its flashy. But look at John E's car, his car is amazing in person, and draws lots of attention on its own with stock paint. I have plenty of people look at my car and compliment me, and I have a couple of door dings, and scratches.
Its great that hes doing something different to his SHO, but what he's doing isn't different in the car community as a whole. As far as it costing two grand for the doors, half of that was probably just the cost of the kit, which the company can sell it for whatever they want.
I'm sure his car looks great, its just not my thing. I dont expect people to like my car. I put the rims and hood on the car for me, however, I've had random people tell me it looks nice at stop lights. And thats great, but I dont expect it. ****, I enjoyed driving my car more after I put on my polished runners, because I knew they were polished. I think a total of 10 people have seen them on the car.
As far as getting respect in the car community with a SHO, what is this, fast and the furious?
