“Good looking”? I don’t know. Is Jack Bauer “good-looking”? Deloreans, like Jack Bauer, looked bad-ass cool in the eighties*. I’m not sure “good” is the word for it.
*Deloreans in the '80’s, I mean, of course. Although Kiefer looked pretty bad-ass in the eighties, too.
Yeah, that’s ugly.
Almost as bad as the cotton-candy-pink Mustang I saw a couple of months ago. You do not do that to a Mustang!
Wow. That is so ridiculously tasteless. It’s like walking round wearing a gold-plated coat studded with rubies and sapphires and emeralds. Pathetic waste of wealth and totally tastless at it, to boot.
It’s a secretary’s car. Why not? It’s what ye olde 1960s boss gives to the girl in the pool he’s boinking.
How about a crystal-encrusted Mercedes?
didn’t an indian maharajah have a solid silver Rolls-Royce? musta been a bitch to keep polished, though!
I love Mercedes and I love Swarovski, but the two together is rather hideous.
I like the idea of it. It is pretty ugly but at least its engagingly ugly.
Okay, yeah. That’s fugly.
It looks to me that it’s not electroplated at all, but gilded, and the brick shapes are the individual pieces of gold leaf. Cheap and tacky, anybody with experience could have used the stuff properly, working it into a larger thinner layer which covers more area and avoids visible joins, and which would also lighter.
I think it’s something that doesn’t lend well to pictures. In real life, driving past you, it would be sorta interesting. Definitely not for spies, though. I bet that thing has the radar cross section of a battleship.
I liked Uday Hussien’s gold-plated AK47 better.
Key.
DeLoreans were/are one of those cars that have quite nice proportions, even if the finer detailing isn’t up to scratch. Sort of how new Beemers look nice from a distance, but up close they just don’t match your expectations.
It looks too neat not to have been designed to look that way on purpose. Some of the “bricks” are different sizes, they all have little dots in the corners, and the spoiler has a swirly pattern instead of bricks. So someone was technically proficient, if severely lacking in taste.
I think it is very cool.
Now I’ve looked a bit closer, yes, you’re right.
Oohhh, shiny!
Though I’d hate to meet that car on a bright and sunny day.
Someone’s watched “The Wizard of Oz” one too many times, methinks.
I want to take decals of Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and the Lion and stick them on there.
EDIT: The all-chrome car, on the other hand…would be hell on a sunny day, but I do think that one’s rather cool-looking. Very shiny.
Now I’m having an idea for a car with a mirrored surface. One giant actual mirror all over it. Wonder how that would look…
Cool? no.
Stupid? YES!
IMHO ANY cosmetic mods are stupid, useless, and pointless, moreso if they’re done to a poor, defenseless sports car
I’m a fan of the Sleeper concept, any and all mods should be performance mods, underhood/suspension mods that improve the vehicle’s performance, keep the exterior as bone-stock appearing as possible
