I wonder if the guy had trouble with LEFT & RIGHT since the driver and passenger side wheels are different colors?

The spoiler reminds me of the VW Commercial 'Unpimp the auto'

Looks like he has 2 sets of wheels depending on your preference.

Quote:
Car is fully customized, full brembo big brake kit front/rear, intercooler, k04 turbo, auto meter nexuus gauges, leather very clean, navigation, visor monitors, 10 inch headrest DVD monitors, vehicle specific mtx box with a 12 inch woofer and mtx amp, 2 sets of 19 inch rims. Magnaflow header/cat/exhaust. Kevlar clutch, the best of the best went into this car, it's not near perfect but it is a solid car. Car might need a fuel pump because of bigger injectors and exhaust is vibrating a little on rear spring. Any questions call me 631-413-0960 or email thuggbugg@yahoo.com car is a 5SPEED. this car is scratch and dent free!!! non-smoker clean int.
If you look you see the blue and red wheels both on the left side. Still doesn't make them any more appealing though!

Looks like a Smart a friend had that I swear he fitted everything sold on Ebay with 'will fit a Smart' in the description!

He sold it now a Mercedes A-Class has the misfortune of being owned by him!

I guess when one is staring at such monstrosity, reading the description have very little importance.

Beauty is in the eye of the builder........no matter how hideous all of us think this car is the owner likes it.And someone will most likely buy it(hopefully they will correct it).Way over the top for my personal preference but I've seen worse.There are a few things he/she states that are on it that I would'nt mind having. This car is what makes automotive enthusiasts so different, what one likes other's hate. JMO

Aww, it was a Vortex Blue it seems. That's one of my favorite colors! It's over the top but I like that the guy's email addy was thugbug@xxx.xxx, the guy knew what he was doing.
