saw this on TCCOA...

IMO The wheels are 4-5" to big and not good looking but I do like the fact that the car is being loved
 
This is one of the rare times I can say 'good job' when it comes to custom painting these cars.
 
I don't how anyone could say anything bad about that car Over All,
the paint looks like it could belong to kevin harvick

who ever did this paid top dollar and it shows !

Ditto, It looks great! Everything just comes together so nicely.
 
Personally I think the wheels are a bit too big. It's not my cup of tea, however you can tell that the workmanship is very good & the guy really loves his car!

I think that for the type of set up he was going for it turned out great! I like that fact that everything looks nice & clean. There's a couple dollars put into that Mark VIII!!!
 
i like it because its different and quality was shown throughout, personally anything over 18 inch on a mark VIII i think looks stupid. even if the wheels were good looking, they are way to big, if it had some 18's on it, it would be one of the slickest marks i ever saw. i totally dig the car, very nice inside and out, but has to lose the " dubs " that kills it for me.
 
Lot's of work but not my taste.. Rims have to go... really don't understand why people like the wagon wheels...

Paint looks like quality but I'm not a two tone person...

Somone did do a lot of work.

Just not my thing...
 
i like the paint. looks good. and with some 18's it would look great.nice way to two tone it. well thought out.
 
the paint looks decient, i love the interior!! any i agree those wagon wheels are way too big

Eeeeekk thats a vomit comet!! PUKE!! Great workmanship I am sure but man when you see things like this it makes you say "What in the holy hell were they thinking?". Thats butt ass ugly.
 
I don't like it, honestly I think the overall design would have looked better on a Gen1, the Gen2's are just more a classy design in my opinion. The Gen1's had a little more sporty look to them. I don't care for anything over 18's on our cars, don't care for the lambo doors, just doesn't look right on these cars, the paint is different, I don't much care for the two tone on the hood. I like the idea of the custom air ride. I'd like to know if he used stock struts and bags.

And is that ostrich on the seats, with suede?

Also, if he was going to go to the trouble of painting the interior pieces, you think he could have all least filled in the chips around the defrost bezel with some bondo and sanded it smooth before painting it.
 
stock motor......... :sleep:

i still dont understand why people waste money just on looks. the wheels are WAY too big.....seats are UGLY.....wonder how slow it is lol :D
 
Yes, the seats are a bit loose looking & the wheels are too big (My oppinion)

It's not the style of many Mark VIII owners on this site because some of us are more into the performance side of things, Then there are the guys who like the bling such as the owner of this mark.

For the way he chose to go with the car (the bling style) I think that it's a great example of a clean & VERY WELL CARED FOR MARK VIII. After all it could have just another mark VIII with blown air bags & dents all over it rolling down the street on it's way to the pick a part!

With the exception of the wheel size & the wrinkles in the seats, This Mark VIII is very nice & very well cared for. I think that we should be saying how nice it is when a owner puts this kinda work into their Mark VIII.

I think the paint is very nice & looks sharp. Maybe someone could photoshop it with some 18" or 20" cobra R's. It would look really hot!

Just think, he could have done this to it!!!!!!!

Yikes, I think I will stick with my plans, Here is a rendering of a black one I've been on the hunt for.

Here are some updated pictures for you. The dash piece was re-done some time ago, the doors do provide enough space to get in and out without lamboing them. The graphics go through the door jams, trunk jams and hood jams. This was not an LSC model. I scored new ford headlights, chrome under them, new grill, new metal window track (old ones were rusted and bubbled), new side molding (3 pieces for each side) and some used tail lamp and center lamp combos with an aftermarket ballast. Also added trans cooler, replaced accumulator springs and did the j-mod. Nothing done to the motor other than a K&N. The subs in the trunk are actually 3-10's. All leather interior with suede and vinyl red strip. Seat heaters and coolers added aftermarket. K-40 undetectable laser jamer radar detector. Suede on the headliner. Tinted windshield 50% sides and back 80%. Satelite radio, Pioneer navigation DVD player, one Kicker 5-Channel, Rockford components, extra battery.

using aftermarket bags

looks much better in the last few pics, all in the angles i suppose
 
Air ride setup is ported arnott replacement struts chopped to make them go lower. The front struts that were with the car were ford replacement but the sides were plastic. 2600lb bags in the back, 1/2" line 1/2" up valve 3/8" down. I have had 3 of these cars with various altered height setups. From stock ported front and rear bags with a scuba tank and regulator and a manifold block to what I run now.
