Chrome Lambo Murcielago...

...for 50 Cent. Just because. He can.

=============

Rapper 50 Cent — the man who "put Lamborghini doors on that Es-co-lade" — has enlisted the help of Alas Corp to put a chrome finish on his Lamborghini Murcielago. Alas — based in Vernon, California — specializes in car customization, or, more specifically, custom finishes. See all the Fifty's new Lambo under construction after the jump…

saw the chrome Shelby GR1 in person Wed. and that finish looks like crap. I've never seen so many swirl marks and smudges on a car. It would be way too much trouble keeping it looking nice.

"Lawsuit" or did you mean "not street legal"?

Nevermind. It's Friday, the brain is in low gear.

I'd like to get that done to my car. Never worry about washing it again. Just buy a case-load of Nevr-Dull.

Its sponsered by HRE and yes it is owned by one of the members of artnmotion. You are correct, and I have lazy fingers... ( i knew somoene would say that car is not "BY" HRE) Sooo this is what i meant. Damn u Scott

I meant to say its sitting in HRE's display booth at the SEMA show sitting on HRE 446R's with a chrome paint job . There. U happy.

actually... its not street legal in the US but it is in other countries. Canada comes to mind.

Also, the Ford Shelby concept or whatever it is... is actual polished aluminum. This is paint.

NOT my cup of tea. If I saw that on the street I would crash on purpose claiming it blinded me and sue the crap out of him.




Just kidding about crashing and a lawsuit,..........but I dont like it.

I would think the body shop would cuss for like 10 stright min. because I bet that's a b!tch to paint. yeah they get paid well. My wife's uncle owns a body shop. He lets me practice on like sheet metal sometimes. I'll be honest. White is HELL to paint. It seems like the lighter the paint the harder it is to paint. He occassionally will get a customer who wants chromolusion. he's done maybe 4 or 5 of them. The cars look sweet after their done but I wouldn't drop the bucks for that a chromeolusion(the paint that changes colors depending on how the sun hits it).
