Did Honda suggest painting Civic in Gucci logos? Those wallpapers come from Volvo! They gotta to be smoking herring again!

Worse, I’ve seen Civics fully covered in Louis Vuitton or Gucci logos and we’re talking both exterior and interior upholstery.

This is just further evidence to support my hypothesis that “Volvo’s are stupid.”

What has Ford done to Volvo, autonut? You have to wonder. Didn’t we just see a Flex with wood grain siding?

Custom paint/creativity streak was OK for first gen Scions. They were 13K & 15K youth oriented underpowered cars. What I test drove was 29K underpowered car. I guess it was missing attention getting paint. What Ford have to Volvo? It use to be respectable brand my lawyer drove (and I followed the suit), Ford made Paris Hilton out of it!

I’ve seen mini’s with some crazy factory graphics on them. I’m sure people will pick up on this too, sadly.

Gotta agree with Shismo. These designs target the Hairdresser-and-Metrosexual demographic; it’s hard to imaging the ‘average’ male going for these (except for maybe the black and silver zebra).
What I’d want is a 1970’s Boris Vallejo inspired design with dragons, wizards, Conan dudes, and half naked 36FF-22-34 princesses with zero-gravity brezsts…

Its a pretty cool idea to make the cars more unique…its too expensive though. And some designs that might appeal to an average guy…

They use this stuff for advertising on tradesmen and delivery vans. A company in San Diego will put any digital picture you send them on your car.

The pink digital camouflage one gives me an idea. What about Wranglers and the new Hummer 2-door in green camo with blacked out rims? Now that might look good.

They might as well just put a decal on every body panel that says ‘key my car’.

Most or some Californians would like that doo-doo.

So essentially, some retard was playing around with his cellphone sticker and was like, “I know, lets make a car skin! I’M A GENIUS!” and apparently someone else agreed with him. Sad day.

It’s such a great car but man, it doesn’t handle worth a hoodle.

acanofspam – but if it was done by IKEA, you’d get all the panels, except for one door. After all, IKEA is Swedish for “I can’t count”.

Maybe it’s just a really Swedish thing that we don’t understand. Maybe there’s a market for this…somewhere.

Nissan let’s you do the same thing to your car in Denmark…As a matter of fact it doesn’t really peel off, it just looks kinda silly.

And I thought they couldn’t ruin this car any more than they already did.

Those “wraps” are going to look absolutely awesome once they start peeling off like the wood tape on minivans in the early 90’s did.

I hate to admit slightly liking the woody one though.

Still, this is ultimately a silly idea that only the country that gave us IKEA would come up with.
