I have no idea why I would enter a thread with this title. I'm only thankful it isn't even worse.

Popular Mechanics has a good one too. Not nearly as bad as David's blogicle on "what 'mellenials' want".

At first I was like "most Bentley owners make their cars look like this" but then I clicked on the link and realized it's a Chrysler 300 with the little V6. Again thought "most V6 300 owners make their cars look like this".

Is the entire interior fiberglass because they've just deleted the roof and they want it to survive being left out in the rain, like the amusement-park ride it is?

Check out the trunk weathrstrip and the ripples in the bumper cover. If someone's gonna go to all the trouble of building something for SEMA, arguably the world's premiere showcase for the talents/abilities of customizers etc you'd think someone would pay more attention to detail. This piece of crap looks like something someone would do in their back yard.

I guess when you look at the overall concept poor execution comes as no surprise.

Oh dog, they have built more crap like this. http://www.jcautostyles.com/

EDIT: I didn't look at the rest of the pics. Did Helen Keller check this thing before they put it on the show floor?

I looked at it and quickly realized the amount of work that went into that. Then I thought, the last time that much effort went into making such a large turd was when I was constipated for 6 weeks.

Offtopic- but that had to have been the best feeling ever when you finally cut that one- unlike whoever cut this thing loose.

That was a 3.7L V6 powered Chrysler 300 originally...and it is crying.

But it has a cone filter on the factory air inlet! It HAS to be faster.

that single red wire that they strung across the front of the engine bay is the deal breaker for me... it's not that hard to hide a wire in a loom, and it's a hint that they might have cut a few other corners in other areas of the car..

I imagine the crew that should show up with something like this, to a show like SEMA, probably cut every corner they could find as their standard M.O.

I think 'there is only so much you can polish a turd' rings very true in this case.
