although I don't actually like the way this looks myself, it is most definitely interesting and creative. I found it while browsing cardomain.

Lol, I did that once, but to a much lesser extent. A lot of work for little or no gain, imo. Damn, that must've taken them forever... But it certainly is an interesting visual experiment!

In the first pic I thought it was detailed with diamond metal sheets. Would have looked better if it was.

Was a good effort if you want to keep the cover without all of the heat.

I personally like it all the way off though.

I thought that was an existing cover that someone spent a lot of time on.

That looks like a Pontiac to me.
