Its a wrap
Hope this isn't a member's car. But here's an example of a wrap that completely fails. Car looks two dimensional and artificial. No comparison to the excellent matt finish Mercedes is putting on its designo cars.

Yes I see the lambo doors, not going to say anything, trying to look away. Is that the stock seat upholstery? Looks like the center insert has been replaced.

I saw that before. Not a huge fan of wraps or the matte paint craze.
That car is really hurting. The upholstery job looks disgusting (who removes high quality Nappa leather and installs garbage?), the radio install looks like a Best-Buy hack job typically found on a high schoolers hand-me-down Honda, and I'm sure if I saw the car in person, I'd find more **** to complain about.
Way to ruin an amazing machine.

Sometimes too much is not a good thing...it looks like they are trying too hard to get a look on a car that is already past it's prime. The murdered look...which I've had with my SL65...is played...and he/she didn't even get it right anyway.
Wheels, lack of drop, and lambo doors are a big fail in my book...also $58888...you got to add the cost of taking all that crap off too.
Hopefully my SL65 2.0 build will not be cannon fodder for you guys...

If you haven't already seen enough, you check out more pics here at their website:

And I agree about the matte paint craze. I just don't like it. A guy at our local CNC has an 09 Gallardo with a matte black wrap and it looks awful. Luckily he's removed the wrap over the winter and posted pics on the FB page and the car looks good again.
