it really makes me sort of sad to see that people would molest something like a cobra or mach 1. a special edition car that needs no visual mods to stand out, sure if you've got a GT or V6 go crazy stand out they're a dime a dozen. but a cobra or mach 1 or even a bullitt should stay as stock as possible.

here is the car i'm on about.

I actually kind of like the snake skin pattern that was incorporated into the seats!!! I would never do it to a car I owned but, other than that the rest of the interior pieces can be easily fixed with some black spray paint :wink: and some black or red caliper paint to repaint those yellow ones...

i agree. I could tolerate the seats but that's where the yellow should have stopped.
Just because an interior piece can be taken off and painted doesn't mean it should!!!

I think you nailed it. A lot of people, especially ricers, seem to think that customization and awesomeness are one in the same. I.E., the more you "do" to a car, the cooler it is. That's why the first thing a Civic owner does when he gets his car is paints all his vents lime green or some other random color. I would've liked the seats ok without the scales, but I can't forgive him for getting rid of the suede. Those are my favorite seats! And the steering wheel just looks ridiculous.

Aside from the seats, it all looks like it's easily replaceable... if he took $12-15k off the price of the car, it would be a nice buy. Ditch the tonneau cover, and switch the cluster/kick panel, air bag, doors, and center console pieces back to charcoal, and it would look good.
