The stripes on the rear end make it look "obese", other than that, I don't mind it.

IMO v8 super cars look far worse. Most times I can't tell what car is what nowadays. Ford looks like Holden, holden looks like Merc', Merc' looks like Toyota, Toyota looks like Ford!!!
I can't tell the difference at 150klm/ph

Im often critical of mods and members on here say "its their car to do as they please"

Until it becomes time to sell. Now these mods (in this case paint) will be his undoing.

When performing mods resale must be considered too.

since when did any non-classic car increase in value, or ever get your money back spent on mods?

It used to be "Baldy's Car Company" in Maroochydore. Looked much better than that when he had it. Was a great way to promote his yard, but this is going back 6-7 years ago....
