I was watching some videos and came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...lated and I was wondering if anyone has ever done that to a 240sx. Really, I just want to know what everyone thinks it would look like.... It would definatly be pretty unique. Anyways! What do you think?

Wouldn't it also be illegal? Because it would be insanely reflective.

That would suck for a daily driver, and it would probably cause a few accidents. I saw it once on a Shelby Cobra, or maybe it was just aluminum body... either way it looked nice on it but it was a trailor queen.

I feel the same way. actually I would rather have different colored body panels than be all chrome. And it is illegal in some states. But too each his own. But if you decide to do it, please post pics so we can laugh... (cough) I mean admire it.

Not illegal to my knowledge in ANY state.

Alsa Corp makes the paint, it's actually made up of a lot of aluminum, and has to be polished after application - Not easy to apply.

they also have reflective vinyl. But you have to have it applied by a professional, otherwise it'll look like crap.

every other ride at SEMA last year was rocking vinyl... it was pretty cool. You can make your car look like it has brand new paint or that its made of wood, lol

I am not going to do it. I don't want that much attention. But I wanted to see what everyone thought. Sometime this summer I am going to be repainting my s13....

You could have the ugliest color/paint scheme on a Bugatti Veyron and it'd still look b****in. If you've ever seen one in person, they are awesome.
