    The owner of this Hellcat did something crazy. He spent thousands of dollars to have his $65,000 car wrapped in vinyl to look like a rust bucket. Why??? Maybe this is a new anti-theft strategy? lol.

    I think that is too cool. Just think about it, no more coming out of a store and seeing ding marks on the side of the car, or spending time (in the Heat) detailing it cuz it rained the night before, etc ...

    Hmmmmmm ...

    I take pride and great satisfaction in detailing my SRT. I would never want it to look like a POS.

    Hmmm, shouldn't the front and rear fascia just be faded and not rusted??? That would even look better with the widebody flares all faded out too.

    I think it's the proper use of black wheels. Can you tell that I don't care for the cop car/mud bog look?
