I\'ve gone cross eyed. It looks nice....but I can\'t tell which is real and which is painted.

Ugly? Well, as a function only car enthusiast, I\'d never drive it. But from an artist\'s point of view, it\'s amazing work.

the sound system in the car is just awsome. great paint job too.  the interior is kinda freaky it looks like something from the alien movies.

See the dimples painted on the nitrous bottles? I thought they were real for a second. Then there\'s the painted appendages next to the stereo, which through me off as being real.

If you have a $200K budget, why not start with a $80K - $100K car first, instead of a stupid Civic Si?  :p  He could have used an NSX for christ sake!

If it wasn\'t for the pedals on the second to last pic, I wouldn\'t be able to tell what part of the car that is.
