It's actually not bad. Probably one of the best two tone paint jobs I've seen the the XF, just not for me.....

Not real crazy about it, but I love how it changes color when you view it at a different angle.

Might be interesting if the whole car was painted like that. Not crazy about the 2 tone.

It looks OK to me, different colors would liven it up for me. It was definitely done for an individual taste; kind-of like mine, some like it others don't.

Not my cup of tea, but I'm sure there are folks who do like it.

It would probably work better if it started with a better base color.


If you know what I mean....

Don't care for it. The Crossfire is almost impossible to two tone. the lines of the car just go against any I've seen. The only one that works for me is Beaner's, that one looks nice, seen it in person.

I think it is a great improvement over that ugly Black color.

This is the same "purple-een" paint that my flames are done in. Its brilliant in the right light but on an overcast day you just dont see them. I love different but the whole side of the car is too much for me.

I've seen better paint jobs on riced out Honda's.

And I like how they list it as a "show car," thinking they might get more money from some stupid person. A custom paint job and some r-tarded letters on the back don't make something a "show car." Besides, it's too dirty to be one. Just look at that engine bay. It's as dirty as mine and I drive mine everyday and it hasn't had a wash in a month or so.

Please don't tell me this is a forum member's.

Tacky and embarassing are the first two words that come to mind(then again, I am the proud owner of a black base coupe- not exactly pushing any boundaries with my color). But I suppose it is nice to see somebody doing something different and unique with their Crossfire.

yeah, I'm not a fan of the chameleon paint either, although I did like the hood strakes painted. I might think of putting a a silver to match the windshield trim paint on my alabaster coupe like this, outlined in charcoal gray. I did kinda like that aspect.

Did you guys miss the second question asked to the seller on that page? It's more of a statement, hilarious...
