    Hell, maybe I'll even dive in for black racing stripes, heh.

    ya first i decided i was going to go with Ferrari Red then chagned my mind to Lamborghini Verde Ithaca i thought it would have looked really cool with all the leather inside instead of grey change it to green but then i saw this http://youtube.com/watch?v=yRejHPvu0C4
    and thought what would be the best car that already looks like a spaceship or a UFO?
    the VX!!! so i did some research and came up with a company called Alsa and i emailed them and got ahold of someone who has a paintshop that specializes in this kinda paint, so i talked to him and he knew what the VX was and he said that first they would have to paint the VX black perfect and thenapply the MirraChrome and than everything but the cladding it would be around 10000 dollars, its like two paint jobs, it would be like 2500 for the materials 3000 to paint them black and another 3000 for the chrome
    and they promised that it is like any other paintjob it will never fade and you can treat it and wash it like any other car.
    i saw Petos VX, the one with the khameleon painted cladding and the previous owner had tried painting the hood chrome and the back door and the side doors, he probably saw how it didnt workout and left the otherparts astarl silver, but Petos told me that after he washed his this black spots would appear, so i dont know but whenevr i come with 10 000 i will do it!

    i know but did some research and it is legal, nobody can tel you what color you can or cant paint your car i mean im sure youll get pulled over a lot but nothing illegal, that company even has glow in the dark paint lol, check it out http://www.alsacorp.com/alsa_2008_paint_catalog.html
    they got all the crazy colors and types of paint there is, i think they were the ones who chromed 50 cent's Murcielago

    How sweet would a chrome VX be!?!?

    If I ever did it, I'd most definitely have to get a personalized plate that said "CYLONE"

    Well monday the insurance adjuster will be at the body shop during the day to have a eye on the VX.

    Even when i was giving details there was a VX moment with the adjuster asking me the brand & the model I said : ISUZU Vehicross

    She said : Isuzu V what ? it's a some kind of code or what ? I never heard about such model.

    Then she ask me : Will be the vehicule at the shop moday ?

    What’s the bank going to do if you change the color.
    It’s always better to asked for forgiveness then permission. The only bad thing is if you do that at work it usually gets you promoted.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.
