When I said it looks no worse than any other Accord I had seen I really wasn't kidding.
If you have a crap car, and want to give it an outrageous paint job, who cares? It's not like it has body kits and fake performance accessories all over it. It's just a (bad) paint job on an econobox. Yes, I just called Accords econoboxes.

Look's in nice condition. Weird paint job, but as long as they like it.
This is southern California. Cars last forever here.
It doesn't bother me. I just wanted to see what kind of reactions it would get.
If you like that, you'll love this.

He was going for "SS" and the "5" was as close as he could get???
I think it would be hilarious to put a big chrome "V8" logo on something like a Smartcar if, for some weird reason, I actually owned one.

My only problem with a lot of those Camero donks is they use the base model and make it look like the SS, rather than getting the actual SS.
And, they ride like shit.

but I can promise you you'll never see anything like that in my driveway.
I think so, been here or in the neighborhood over 50 years.
Soon you will see a V8 or 350 badge on my '93 safari so I'm not against the idea of bigger motor swaps but I don't say what I can't back-up.
It looks like a high school kid making the best of cheap car. Silly but harmless.

Except he's not a high school kid. The owner of this car works near where I work. I've seen this car on my lunchtime walks for over 3 years now.
Hey, whatever floats his boat though. I always look at it and wonder WTF the guy was thinking when he did that... and it had to be a dude, no chick would ever do that to a car. :sneaky:

so do you know if it glows in the dark? if it does, that would be kind of cool. if it doesn't i'd wonder why someone chose to paint it like some institutional bathroom with black blocks.
I don't see the reason for a call out. it's different, but looks like it was done decently well.

Zivic, what do you mean "call out"? The guy painted his car like that, he must have expected attention.

Compared to the cars next to it, it's definitely better looking
Character is better than ...greyness.
I think we found the culprit who thought it was a good idea.

I've been waiting for the right thread to post this....
Lmao, they even reused the 5 from 2.5 instead of buying a second S.

Well, it's already painted like a taxi so he might as well make a few bucks off it.
Looks like a giant vibrator.

Suuure, that's why you made a thread titled "WTF??? Someone actually thought this was a good idea?".
That doesn't bother me either, but its not something I would do. Honestly, I love all sorts of crazy car mods. Plenty aren't ones I'd want to do, but I love people doing crazy things, especially if they bug some of the uptight ****wads that are in car culture.

This is what I was going to say. We sure this car isn't used for some kind of testing or something? Weird that it would be in a parking lot if that was the case though.
