LOL, already posted in UGLIEST i8 thread. Surprised you are happy associating your (awful gold) wheels with this even more awful wrap.

Was Vossen looking for honest reactions to its wheels? I think the comment was a fair one.

Rust? What a great choice! What's next? Rug burn, herpes, or rotten flesh?

I'm all for people doing whatever they want with their damn car but this wrap is just a damn joke. What kind of tasteless attention whore needs their car to look like it's been in a barn rotting away for years?

I think it's an attempt to create an i8 rat rod.

Which is pathetic.

ROFL


I really don't get the desire the turn one of the most beautifully designed modern cars around into some kind of freak show. I think I've seen about 4 rotten wraps so far on here, and this one has reached a new low.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. What gets me about this one is he had an "Iron Man" theme, red and gold. Maybe not for everyone, but at least it was a theme.

Then all of a sudden...rust wrap. For no reason. Why throw such an aggressive wrap on a car like this? And what's the theme...rust body and gold wheels? Sorry, looks like shit.

If you're just going to throw money at it, you can expect comments...and they won't always be positive.

"Rust" on a car that's clearly not rust-able. Right ... Like plastic flowers or faux leather or that house siding that's made of plastic but is supposed to look like stone.

I wonder why no commercial airline has come up with wrapping their planes in the rust look ...

Sure. Entitled to their opinion but a malicious comment is far more tasteless than any wrap on a vehicle.

Rust doesn't look good on anything else and it applies to that particular car too . If the owner is happy let it be .
It's like one buys a hefty Rolex Daytona 116506 Platinum and have it customized by a guy called Bamford

OK. From now on we'll only post glowing opinions, praising the brilliance and good taste of the owners completely ruining the looks of their cars.
