Looking at the link, it looks like the car was built for Line-X. They probably just want to show what you can do.

I do agree, it is ugly.

Also, a lot of their builds are for different companies to show off and arent meant for daily driving.
Honestly, I really have never seen that car before you brought it to my attention b/c I find what they do gaudy and overwrought.

Now that you ask though, that car is exactly what I was talking about? I would rather drive a stock Chevy Cruze than be seen even looking at that thing. That car isn't close to what an automobile enthusiast would be interested in whatsoever. Call me "old fashioned" if you will, but just b/c you can "chrome" an entire body doesn't mean you should, nor does it automatically make a better car.

Doing T- Tops doesn't make a shop cutting edge just b/c no one else is doing it, as your own post says, their cars aren't meant to be a daily driver b/c they probably aren't even roadworthy. Maybe the modern art community would appreciate something like that, but all you'll get from the auto enthusiast crowd are unbelieving looks, head shakes and chuckles. Different tastes may appreciate that, even respect it, so please understand I'm not saying anything negative about you. Rather, I'm suggesting that if you ask most people that show up at Saturday morning car shows, a clear majority would either not know anything about WCC or outright dismiss their cars as made for t.v junk.

Chip Foose, on the other hand? He's respected and loved in that community.

Chip Foose is KING theres no question. The only thing gawdy about the Rascle Flatts camaro is the emblem on the grille. Otherwise the paint scheme is clean, stripes are clean (same as yours it looks like), nothing over the top. All new exhaust with a custom three pronged tip, a Harrop super charger, HRE wheels and Pedders suspension. What car enthusiast wouldnt like that?

I wouldn't allow WCC (or OCC for that matter) put on my tags.
This may help.. this car was built for the Line-X company as a type of advertisement. They didn't decide to just randomly Line-X a Camaro for a client or something.

I'm pretty sure they are the same color, it's the stripes are in the sun.
On their page it has an animated image of them painting the wheels blue with this stuff.

It's not horrible.....WCC has made stuff much worse before. That Camaro is screwed for life though with that Line-X on the body. I'm not a fan of the wheels too.

I never really get most of the designs that WCC has done or come up with over the years. I hope they evolve sure but they seem to , we'll, actually be in reverse. That being aside that camaro needs a gallon of gas with a match chaser! Tragic ...
