I think it's pretty cool, but I wouldn't do it to my car, regardless of price.

you know, i don't think anybody realizes the difficulty in doing something like that. The surface preparation has to be 10x s better than what comes out from the factory to get a clean reflection like that. Def one of the best jobs evr done since it has to be PERFECT to pull off no waves or dimples, especially when two panels meet. Can you post the finished car too?

I'd hate to wash that car, a single scratch would be horrible.

That's bitchin, there are a few A8/S8's in the UAE that are done like this. I'd love to detail that car.


There is a 32 ford roadster out here that is getting the same treatment, rumors are the paint will be around 20-25K

I can appreciate it. And it's no more impractical than driving around a Lambo or a Ferrari. Would I do it to my car? Nah, but it's still purty to look at

Looks like they were trying to replicate the wide body M3 GTR a bit (has the same louvers).

those cars look like they are invisible in some pics. They really blend into the background very well.
