Well, the modification of this car just makes the "correct" versions more rare and perhaps more valuable. Besides, always being "correct" with the cars generates a lot of sameness.
I have seen some rust heaps that would be a lot better off looking like this than how they stand now. I don't really like the overall effect, but hey, his name is on the title and he deserves credit for doing a quality job on his dream. Maybe he should ge a license plate that says "2 FAR".
I almost like the wheels with that color.
