Wouldn't be so bad without the airbrushed hood.

I'm assuming the airbrushing is a picture of his engine bay?

$2250 and a couple of cans of flat black paint for the hood isn't a bad deal

Wow, looks like it is. That is awful.

Am I the only one annoyed when people put "can drive anywhere" in their ads? I just want to email them and ask if I can drive this car on the moon or up the Eiffel tower.

its probably airbrusing of what he wishes his engine bay looked like.

seems like a good enough candidate to practice your roller or plastidip painting.

the deleted corner markers up front looks stupid.

The paint in general is just a terrible.

You'd get kicked off the Back 40 for that kind of E36 M3.

Bad color theme but you can see a lot of work went into the airbrushing on the hood...although if I'm seeing this right, there are lightning bolts arcing all over it.

"Can drive anywhere" means "isn't slammed so low that it scrapes on everything or rattles your teeth out."

That thing would rattle apart on The Landing in downtown StL, or any city cobblestone alleyway for that matter.

"has been a car show winner"

maybe if the show was in his garage, and the contestants were that Accord, a Schwinn, and an extension ladder...depends on the condition of the Schwinn.

I don't agree with this statement, not that it's hawt, but not that bad.

Either way, this needs to be published

Doesn't look that low to me, looks like at least 6 inches of ride height. Nothing wrong with it apart from the cheesy-as-hell paint job.

Wouldn't be a bad car without the E36 M3ty paint job. Just my opinion. Iposted because it made me LOL. So no, not appliance bashing.

I think "can drive anywhere" means "you'll probably make it home, even if you don't live next door to me".

That car would place at an import car show around here.

I’d drive it. For just long enough to get it home and sand then primer bomb the outside. Swap on a set of factory wheels from around those years, then try like hell to forget the indiscretion hiding under the hood paint.

I still miss my old Accord from high school. Nostalgia could bite me on something like this.

I made a guy with that kind of stuff mad once. I offered $500 less than his asking price, he asked why. I said (in an off-hand kind of way) it would probably cost me that to have it repainted at a shop. Turned out he'd done it himself. I left before he got mad enough to take a swing at me.
