lol at some of the comments though..

[wrongwaynorris]

For those with more money than sense or taste .

[Danny]

Typical QLD new money.

Hideous

Gauche

Irrelevant

Tasteless.

[DJM83]

Just seen this on Bookface, not to my taste but definitely something different. Love the plate, dunno how it got passed QLD Transport

[ohzone]

I've worked on a Gallardo from the UK done like this, in the flesh they are not that impressive, being a chrome like finish it shows any variation in the vinyl and defects in the application

[Ben73]

I like chromde, but a full chrome car... no thanks

[Cam]

Not my cup of tea... Maybe he just likes to look at himself?

Bet is it'll come off once he gets a door ding..

[Kevaclone]

[sarcasm]Oh it's only got 480NM torque, easily beaten from the lights by any V8 Falcon[/sarcasm]

imagine trying to keep fingerprints off it every time you park the thing

[flappist]

Without doubt utter stupidity.

Driving behind this idiot with the sun from the rear would be blinding.

Hes wants to remain anonymous, well as soon as he tries out the 9000 RPM the LFA can pull, the queensland cops will have him they seem to like high profile cases.

[MAFIA]

Actually they retail for starting price $749,000 before you start adding extras!!!!

LOL, from the comments of "the car was a bright orange colour before" and his name being called JP, my guess is it's John Paul Drake's LFA, used to have the plates YEOWWW - or something to that affect - and yes, Drake as in Drake IGA Supermarkets ;)

[brett7777]

I think he should put real chrome on it & make it permanent
Given that it's carbon fibre it would probably have to be that ABS stuff

nice car tho.
" works in retail" is he a shop assistant who saved really hard ????

[Falcman0o7]

Crap.

[Fireblade]

Seems I'm in the minority, oh well, I like it, the LFA is one sweet car and the chrome certainly makes it standout as something different, but I do like obscenely in your face cars like Lambo's for instance. Good luck to him to be able to afford the car in the first place, as for some of the above comments, I'm sure he would probably get some major lols at what some here do to their falcons.

good point

& he would leave all the falcons in his dust too, especially with carbon fibre panels, that things a rocket

[zoesgift]

id want to remain anonymous as well if i was the biggest tool(malaka) in the shed. surely cant be driven due to reflection issues? did remind me briefly of a movie i thought was cool as a teenager in the 80's called "the wraith"

[burnz]

i hot day in the sun, the car turns rainbow.

[Nikked]

RAther this...

[KIWI-1]

Anonymous? Of course!
It worked for Mark Philippoussis when he sold his Hummer and bought a Lamborghini because the Hummer was too conspicuous.

[Polyal]

God people can be fickle..his cash who cares. I dont think its overly bad but I wouldnt do it myself.





Oh its a Ford so its ok.

The Ford was a concept car designed to create a wow factor.

The other is a road car. How can you compare them. I'm sure if the Shelby GR1 ever went into production it would never have been available in chrome.

[NickyN]

The black matte Lexus looks way better than the chromed out one.

I think it's rather ironic that the owner of the chromed Lexus is described as "reserved." Nothing "reserved" about a chromed out Lexus to me. It would be an eyesore of a glare to all other cars!

[Bucknaked]

Lexus, arn't those just tarted up camry's?

[dallasv8]

the chrome Ford looks kick ***

[Oztatts]

hate to be drivin near that on a sunny day. need sunnys

[SSD-85]

With all "its his money, blah blah" comments aside;

I think it sucks.
