I just cant believe someone would think that looks good, he must be doing it for attention and pretending he likes it. I love creativity with car mods but the work is just done so poorly that anyone would think it looks bad. If you are going to attempt something that is as far out of the box as this the work needs to be at least decent. Ive seen better paint jobs on bicycles.

Maybe you don't like it due to the unicorn flying across the pass side door?

At least they didn't do that to a twin turbo, I'd slap a bitch for that.

More of them to make fun of then!
I honestly don't think it looks bad, it's just the stolen design that i don't like.
Given my user name i think that this is the most that I could do to my car...

What bothers me more is the photo editing... The car looks like it has a lift kit, but I think it's because it doesn't appear to be touching the ground...

Must be it. And is that a dragon I see as well? It's also too purple. A color scheme more blue (sans fairy tale elements) would have been tolerable.
