I like most of it. Never seen a Forgiato steering wheel before, but I appreciate the custom touches. I agree there is a lot going on.

Actually doesn't look bad. Interior is pretty good, big wheels over do it, but the door decal definitely tops it off.

I don't see to many customized cars that i like but i like this one. The wheels are to big for me but I LOVE the interior. Is this in Indy? I would love to see it.

LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the interior. Have to say though - that interior is really well done. Only thing I don't like is the steering wheel. Other than that it has a lot of nice high end work done.

Lose the steering wheel & replace w/an 80-85 3 spoke Olds sport wheel.

Lose the wheels & go w/a conservative old schoolish design in an 18.
(or even just go back to some 15 inch Olds SS wheels of any flavor if you must)

Re-adjust suspension height as needed ... as it might end up being too low after.
(car looks lowered to me even tho' the big wheels offset it some)

Tone down the ghetto-blasters in the trunk to something w/a lil' less bling.

And ... I could live with it.

Agreed with everything above^^^^. .......my son(14) AND I(age not relevant!) think this car is "kick ***".,,,maybe more of this type of thing will be done to keep kids interested.........
I would never want it, but my son would......!

Me too....Actually a bitchin car minus the wheels/steering wheel/overkill on the piping. Tone it down just a bit, and allow to have a little class...and that's a nicer car than alot of us will ever own

What I don't like about it, speaker kick panels, I could live with, wheels, I could change. Not so much the size, but the rivits around the edge. I hate that steering wheel. Eveything else is cool.

I love that interior

That thing is pinned out!!!
Love it.

Big wheel/thin tires isn't my thing, but that's a 10 minute swap for anyone. Nice work.

You guys gotta be joking. That wheel is a nice piece of machinery. Look at the collar behind, too.

You all would be drooling if it was a billet intake, why not a steering wheel? I think the proportion is just right.

My initial response was "That's kewl, but the wheels are too big." I don't mind the style of the wheels, just don't like that size of wheels on anything smaller than a Kenworth T600. I happen to really like the innards, even the piping.
