Do they post those local auctions somewhere? I'd raise the moral of EVERYONE in this town if I started tooling around in something like that!The Tubster said:I picked this little beauty up from the local auctions last month.

I have to disagree. I think chrome is what's dead and paint is on the rise. If you've had chrome, you'll know just how crappy it is. The finish dulls, chips and bubbles. When you get a bend the finish cracks too.megalomania said:Magnum and 300C are nice cars, but IMO.. the black and the black and chrome strip craze is dead now.. Still looks good tho.
THANKS! I'm a follower of the V8 Supercars, but it's not on the SPEED Channel that often.Rockslayer said:Yeap the fairmont is pretty much a semi luxury blinged up model of a Falcon which the fords V8 supercars are derived from. Not a big follower of Fords here in Australia but I think they Fairmont and Falcon share the same chasis? You can get a choice of standard family sedan models ranging to a souped up supercar version from the dealership.
I think fully painted rims are kind of meh.. For example, Bonspeed Laguna's, they look dope because only half of the spokes are painted.NickDavid said:I have to disagree.

Paint is much stronger and holds it's shine more. Mine are powdercoated, so theres no cracking on bends, but i've only had it about a year now so I can't give a long term opinion. So far, I enjoy it more than chrome.
It's all about what you feels looks better personally. Some people buy to impress others, some buy for themselved. I like it and could care less what others think. (not intended at you)

I've had chrome on things all my life and I've never had any issues. I've never had bends, or bubbles. Or anything like that, personally.
Oh, no doubt, it's all personal preference. I think if you buy stuff to impress other people strictly, you're wasting your money. Word.. Do what you like first, and if people like it, cool, if not.. well, oh well, eh?
