Putting stripes on a luxury car is the dumbest thing anyone can do. The only two cars that can pull off racing stripes are a new ford mustang or a Shelby Cobra and thats it. Good luck on the sale of that car. I love the aspec and color but it all goes to shit with those stripes added.

Ha I was so browsing ebay last night and saw that, almost fainted when I saw such a horrific site. To think someone actually paid money and time to put that on that car!!! Its a good thing they are selling it, because they just dont deserve it!!!

Very sad, the car was in decent condition in almost every other way. It was A-Spec on top of that! Sacrilege!

I see cars like this all the time that look like they must have been owned by someone on this forum because they look so different from a stock TL. No wonder these owners keep quiet though. Is the owner here? Show yourself! We won't make fun of you............NOT!

I think he realized what a mistake it was by buying an NBP and was in the process of painting it WDP but figured there's no hope cause it'll still be a filthy fkn NBP underneath.

Damn! Someone took a classy car and made it look like garbage. It would be worth a total repaint to to get rid of those racing stripes.
