Also,looks like the original "rust" car has a great photographer taking pics of it(every pic i saw is a great shot),even f-150 in the background looks good .I dont mean to be negative, i love how this car looks and overall styling.But is there a picture of it,taken with a regular non-professional camera?What i mean,this guys photography skill could make any car look good,but how does it look in "real life"?
I've seen photos taken by other folks and it doesn't look different. A little less-contrasty maybe, but the color in the shot posted above is pretty much how it should look, I think. All of the other colors in the photo look correct.

Wanting to see photos taken with a "regular non-professional camera" isn't going to get you a more accurate depiction of the car. That's why people like Mike and myself spend money on the highest-quality equipment we can afford. Most of the automatic-everything cameras make sacrifices in a lot of areas to give you something that the average guy or gal would think looks good.

In CA, you CAN get it impounded, a cop told me so, and i trust that, also the DMV law says so, look it up.

No doubt that his car looks great,and properly done,but im pretty sure pictures make it look even better.Looks like he is pretty skilled photographer,and that is meant as a compliment,those pictures are great.

Thanks for the explanation, Chris.

For the record, here's a completely un-photoshopped photos of the car- exactly how you'd see it in person.

Mind you I think Spastic is a rather talented photographer and perhaps more noteworthy - a sensationalist. On the other hand it is what it is---> a doctored up shit box. And though this message could be argued to be a tad redundant at this point I don't mean to entirely fault his opportunistic skillz. I am certain he will do quite well leveraging this fading moment/upset/publicity.
