How about changing the wood to CF on the inside?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

39 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...1%7C240%3A1308 Personally a wierd part of me kind of likes it. The wood is bit over the top, but surely no one will one like this, ever!

POST 2Original post

Wow. Just goes to show you that having money doesn't neccesarily mean you have taste. I bet Elvis would have loved this car. I'm a big Elvis fan, but his taste was a bit excessive...like this car.

POST 4Original post

mmm... Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream... definately would not put it in my car though

POST 6Original post

Imagine - you'd be the only one on your block w/ that color combo!

POST 7Original post

you are worried about the wood int. how about the out side color, wow..

POST 8Original post

Not my taste...exterior or interior colors are pretty bad. Way too much wood and all the wrong color. Someone out there will like it though.

POST 9Original post

Didn't think it was too bad until I saw the interior.

POST 10Original post

misinterpreted the "going green" movement. No wonder it has only 15K miles.

POST 11Original post

I think I threw up in my mouth a bit. Poor turbo

POST 12Original post

Exterior color looks like Jade Green Metallic. edit: Ocean Jade Metallic

POST 13Original post

Everyone has a different taste... but when trying to sell something "a bit exclusive and rare" you'll have problems

POST 14Original post

another $4k, you can replace all that wood... but green interior? This is gonna be on sale for awhile.

POST 16Original post

How about changing the wood to CF on the inside? It really would be like mint chocolate chip....

POST 17Original post

Oh.... MY EYES!!!!! That car looks like ==> What the hell are those black "nipples" on the front bumper cover????

POST 18Original post

I've seen Nephrite Green interior in person on a silver cab - different, but not pretty. It's very, very green! As for the black "nipples" - looks like the car had some cosmetic dentristry done. I think they're supposed to be bumperettes. Ouch.

Oh man I thought the same (I always toy with domiciling in Florida, and that wouldn't look too out of place in South Beach) but OUCH that interior is just out of hand. He may need some help: http://pattiearly.com/portfolio_movie10.html

Those are the bumperettes on the early turbos.

Must be a NW thing, I felt the same way.... but that first shot of the inside actually was really gross and I changed my thinking on the car after I saw it... EWE Ed

Leave it to Tim to notice the nipples. It must be cold there. But you're right, put a bra over those nipples. Want some pumpkin with those nipples? Okay.

POST 24Original post

You know, if it was about 20k less, it would make a great track car. Strip the interior, black racing seats, leather or similar in black, and paint the damn thing. You' d be out less money than the 20k I bet. And it probably runs well. Otherwise, it looks like a POS and should never have been delivered. Yuck.

POST 25Original post

ICK! The outside could be tolerated but the interior has got to go. I think its the first time I've said "No to ****" The wood grain on a turbo should be fore bidden at least in this instance. I bet they where laughing at this one at the FACTORY!

POST 26Original post

Believe it or not, those are stock colors. Exterior is Ocean Jade Metallic and the interior is Nephrite Green.

POST 27Original post

The workers were thinking "I hope this silly American loves this car a lot because he's going to be married to it forever"

POST 28Original post

When I was in college in the 70's I sold Jaguars and MG's. Now, some of you might remember how bad theses cars were. To make matters worse, I sold used ones. One day I went in to my sales manager and asked him how he expected my to sell these cars. They didn't start, when they did the electrical systems did really weird stuff and generally they were really undependable. His answer has stayed with me my whole live and I've shared it with almost every salesperson I've ever trained. He said "just remember there's an a$$ for every seat". Truer words have never been spoken.

POST 29Original post

LJPETE that is called a VERP vomit burp Car is fugly F Ugly

POST 30Original post

OK, here's the plan. Mask the windows and electronics from the inside and airbrush the rest with black leather dye. Reshoot the photos. Sell on ebay to a buyer a few states away.

I saw this car at a Roebling Road DE January 2008. Tough call on the colors!

It was purple over the nephorite green, cabriolet, full leather including the air vents!

POST 37Original post

Looks like the inside of my grandparents house.

POST 38Original post

I love the exterior color, and even the interior minus the wood! To each his own I guess.
