I kinda like the brushed aluminum dash, but other than that, it just screams "pimp". It just needs some fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror.

Reminds me of a (pimped) casket (coffin) lining.

Why that interior, what is it with people and the quilted look, pass me the barf bag!!!

Don't mind the exterior, a few too many vents but I have always quite liked the wide body look, I prefer the second gen Zeemax did on the rear bumper, that looks much better than this one

My first thought was "Lexus ls 430" then I scrolled down so the seats were visible and couldn't have any more thoughts. Just got the sick cleaned off the keyboard....

The weirdest "personalized" XKR I ever saw in person was one I saw at a local motoring accessories shop that also occasionally sells cars on consignment for customers. Before I bought my 2005, this shop had a nice looking 2003 Black XKR that looked pretty slick from the outside. It was lowered just the right amount and had some nice wheels and the owner had also installed some performance mods (larger supercharger radiator, performance chip, pulley). But when I opened the door to look inside that killed any thoughts I might have had about considering the car.

The interior had been completely redone in suede, which actually didn't look too bad (just a bit rapper-like) but then I noticed there was no rear seat. The owner had spent umpteen thousand dollars on some ridiculous audio system that not only required removal of the rear seats but also most of the trunk was rendered unusable due to massive speakers/components.

I can't understand the need to install audio systems that basically eliminate the trunk area.
