Ever seen this thing:

Owner is a regular over on the Teckademics forums. He just took delivery of an F430 Spider, to replace the F430 hardtop he had owned for three months to "tide him over until his spider arrived".

ri-damned-diculous.

howd they mannage to get the bumper and the other plastic parts chromed?

Whats up Tony its luis from Ocala (red S13). They probably had them plated chrome somehow.

You're sure that Beemer is photoshopped? It looks a little CG. If not, wow...

Post by **Dattebayo** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 7:13 pm

You can have plastic "chrome" pieces that appear the same as metal chrome, I mean havent you seen the fake spinner hub caps and other kinds? Its not chrome, but it looks just like it...

Post by **themadscientist** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 7:40 pm

I just want to leave fingerprints all over it i'd hate to ride behind that thing on a sunny day! I thought those idiots with CDs hanging from their mirrors were a hazard, sheesh.

Yeah, definitely not photoshopped, I've seen the car in person a couple of times. On a sunny day....well...it's just best to avert your eyes, lol.

The car isn't really my cup of tea, but he spent a gawdawful amount of money building it, and it's very nice.

Good Morning Davis!

I think that would be awesome on a S13. But it would be kinda like the DeLorean somehow.

I'll use aluminum foil before I chrome my entire car...

Post by **chmercer** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 10:17 am

that car is cool, but i feel confident calling the owner a douche bag, and i have no idea who he/she is. fail for not putting m3 gtr body work on it.

douche was the fist word that came to mind too. Especially after buying one ferrari just to tide you over till the spyder arived.must be nice to have money to throw around

Post by **smoothlinez** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:57 pm

GG, I'd hate to be driving behind one of those cars on a bright sunny day. I will be one pissed off motorist.

Post by **hannibal** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 11:14 am

Thats gotta be illegal for a street car.

Why not just cover the car with mirrors? Ooooh, that'd be tight!! Dont steal my brilliant idea...

wonder how much it would cost to chrome plate/paint all those body pieces..

major blingg

Post by **BaliLover** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 6:04 pm

Its a chrome paint, and I think I remember it being $1800 a gallon.

It takes alot of work to do though, because you have to paint the entire car gloss black with clearcoat first, then colorsand and buff it perfectly smooth, then paint the chrome, then more clean, and sand and buff again.

Post by **accel junky** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 3:45 am

I've seen most of these before. There was a whole progress thread on the M3 on Bimmerforums when I used to own an E36 M3.

The paint has like 90% of the reflectability of chrome IIRC.

Post by **hannibal** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 5:44 am

Wow, that chrome A8 looks cool. And its the newest version, which I think is an gorgeous car to begin with. Maybe cause its aluminum or something, but I think it fits the big sedan better than the M3 or S15.

Post by **dfw240_EE** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 4:44 pm

I like the first one. The whole redneck thing makes it humorous.

Apparently that Arabian with the A8 is afraid of being carjacked by werewolves.
