Bog-standard Lamborghini a bit too... blasé? Rapper 50 Cent evidently thinks so too. Good thing Fiddy's got mad stacks of cheddar and the surface wizards at Alsa Corp. on speed-dial, then. He of 'In Da Club' fame has apparently contracted the California company to coat his Lamborghini ‘Marcielargo’ <sic> in lustrous chrome paint.
Walk through Alsa’s paint booth as the company’s MirraChrome finish blings the noise here.

At least it's not purple and lime green with 24 inch gold wheels.
Woody @ Mar 3rd 2006 1:25PM
Hmmm can you say retinal damage?
IamAlwaysRight @ Mar 3rd 2006 1:32PM
Worst idea ever. Not only is it a terrible idea to begin with, though it may sound good in concept to some, the execution is always horrible, and it has been done by numerous people in the past.
I first saw this company when they painted the 2nd gen Toyota MR2.
I hope he only drives it at night...if he takes this thing out in the sunlight I pray for other citizens sake that they all own polarized sunglasses.
Stupid rappers...
Corey W. @ Mar 3rd 2006 1:35PM
Would probably look cool at night.... But in the day, "all chrome" cars look "blah..."
TJF @ Mar 3rd 2006 1:47PM
I guess 50 Cent now has a new line of defense against drive by shootings.. blind them with the sun!
Presto @ Mar 3rd 2006 1:48PM
I can't even get the mirrors in my house to be streak free. How the heck are you gonna get a car?
Bling, bling.
Ford Mustang @ Mar 3rd 2006 1:48PM
It's been done before, not something i'm really into. I've always thought these all chrome cars look really dull.
#1 who says it's not going to have 24" gold rims? How about a purple and lime interior to go along with it. Dont forget the shag carpet.

* sigh *
i prefer to live in the neverland of top gear where these vehicles are flying around race tracks and backroads in the hands of capable drivers. this real work where wankers chrome lambos and wreck enzos sucks...

The last picture on ALSA Corp.'s web page has their company banner... "The worlds most exotic finishes".
They need to add a line to that: "...In the most Ghetto of shops."

Proof that our country is going in the toilet. Only in America can an idiot, who probably can't read or write, manage to mumble some kind of grunt to a techo-beat and his followers, of equal brilliance pay him to spread the his anti-white racism. I can't wait til we get a White History Month in America
G @ Mar 3rd 2006 2:27PM
Has anyone seen that chromed out Audi A8 from Dubai? It looked pretty amazing, and I think it was posted on AutoBlog a few months back.
TheMatt @ Mar 3rd 2006 2:35PM
You know, chrome paint never looks good. Now, what he should have done is had all the body panels remade in chromed steel. Then I would have given Fiddy some props. Mad props, dawg. Word to your mother.

You know dog gots to be puttin' spinnahs on dat befo' it be da shanizzle. Gold spinnahs wiff dah-mond bling-bling accents.
The Mechanic @ Mar 3rd 2006 3:21PM
Not even real chrome??? No, wait! Gold. Real 24 karat gold plated to match the firearms those people illegally own (and use on each other!
Fidddy Cent @ Mar 3rd 2006 3:29PM
"those people..." hahahhahahahahahhahahahahhah I love it.
Chris @ Mar 3rd 2006 3:46PM
ummm.... how did white history month suddenly slip into a car blog?
*head spinning, about to explode*
jef @ Mar 3rd 2006 4:13PM
americanfun, what the heck does someone else's taste have to do with racism and white history month?? this has nothing to do with race, yet you bring race into the picture. let's take the log out of our own eye before calling someone else a racist, okay?
by the way, if you must know, white history month is every month on the calendar.

Mercedes did that for an advertisment about two years ago now. It looks pretty awesome on the merc's, but its just paint, its not actually chrome or anything like that, its still expensive though...oh and its illegal to drive a car on the roads with it on because of the reflection factor.

Honestly, I don't think it looks that bad in the pictures. While I'd personally never do it, I think it could look cool if the paint had a sort of black tinge to it, giving it the color of hematite or something.
Lamborghinis are designed to be sort of offensive (not quite what I mean but I can't think of the word) to the eye, or as the fellows on Top Gear would put it, "vulgar" and I think this type of paint job, much like the lime green Lamborghini has available kind of goes along with that mentality. It's as if the car were saying "in your face. if you don't like it too bad because I do." and I quite like that about their cars and I don't disrespect someone who wants to make it that much more their own.
