What do you all think about this:

Can't wait to see the comments.

 

Not my style nor taste. But it IS an Olds! And not done too much overbearing...

 

Do not like it at all. But, it is not my car and if that what Mr. Newton wants then that is his business. It's not so radical that it can't go back to more stock appearance. And, it is an Olds.

 

Saw this on the news the other day here. Dislike. Think he's a great player but I don't care for this car at all.

 

like. Now even more generations of new olds owners will join us.

 

I agree, It is definitely a "Head Turner", but not my style at all, I like a more original look, but if he likes it, that is all that matters.

 

whos cam newton???..until now..never heard if him...dont care much either

 

The gold isn't my taste, nice car though. The steering wheel with the rocket emblems is cool .

Guys:
The only taste some have is in their mouth!! More than likely has a sound system that pisses off everyone around him in traffic as well.

 

The steering wheel definitely caught my eye as a plus... Overall vehicle is a matter of taste... The plating can always be changed back to chrome...

 

more like people turning their heads to throw up.

 

I bet even the sound system don't make as much unnecessary racket as he does when he makes a good play. Larry

 

I have never been a fan of his, so I'm not surprised I don't care for how he has "customized" a great car.

 

Just think what he could have afforded if he WON the Superbowl instead of LOSING so badly. Go Broncos!

 

How to ruin a nice muscle car - just take to Monster Customs or Chip Foose. "The wheels are ridiculous" according to Terry Dobbs, owner of Monster Customs - Not just the wheels Terry, the whole car is now ridiculous.

 

Everyone I know installs air-ride to lower a car; not to use as a crutch to lift up a car to clear those "ridiculous" wheels.

Overall, the car totally fits the mantra: "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

 

^^^Agree with the above, To each his own I suppose but I say yuck.

 

Hey, it could have been worse...he could have converted it into a hovercraft.

I think he is trying to say he is a closet Steeler fan with that color choice.

 

I'm going back to sleep.

 

the grills are terrible, the wheels are too but the flat black ghost flames are the absolute worst. they should ban flat/satin black. im sooooo sick of it. The gold trim though is pretty sweet. its not chrome but beats the heck out of painted 1990s monochromatic everything.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this!!!!!

 

Kind of gaudi, but not bad looking. If you're familiar with the mans fashion choices, this is pretty tame by comparison.

 

JMO, Just needs a paint job, new wheels and a chrome shop for the trim but it's his car so as long as he 's happy.

 

Does he whine about it when it doesn't win at shows?

;-)

 

lol ... nice.

 

I was at a cruise-in in Charlotte where he and some of his posse rolled up. It's an outrageous Oldsmobile in person. That's all I have to say about that.

 

Nice education on how to ruin a nice car.

 

Oh sit yo! That thing is UGLY!
