I've worked on a Gallardo from the UK done like this, in the flesh they are not that impressive, being a chrome like finish it shows any variation in the vinyl and defects in the application

Hes wants to remain anonymous, well as soon as he tries out the 9000 RPM the LFA can pull, the queensland cops will have him they seem to like high profile cases.

I think he should put real chrome on it & make it permanent
Given that it's carbon fibre it would probably have to be that ABS stuff

nice car tho.
" works in retail" is he a shop assistant who saved really hard ????

Seems I'm in the minority, oh well, I like it, the LFA is one sweet car and the chrome certainly makes it standout as something different, but I do like obscenely in your face cars like Lambo's for instance. Good luck to him to be able to afford the car in the first place, as for some of the above comments, I'm sure he would probably get some major lols at what some here do to their falcons.

Anonymous? Of course!
It worked for Mark Philippoussis when he sold his Hummer and bought a Lamborghini because the Hummer was too conspicuous.

The black matte Lexus looks way better than the chromed out one.

I think it's rather ironic that the owner of the chromed Lexus is described as "reserved." Nothing "reserved" about a chromed out Lexus to me. It would be an eyesore of a glare to all other cars!

The Ford was a concept car designed to create a wow factor.

The other is a road car. How can you compare them. I'm sure if the Shelby GR1 ever went into production it would never have been available in chrome.
