Am I the only one that thinks the green pinstriping and racing stripes makes the 765LT look like a Pep Boys special? If someone did pinstriping on their non-supercar, people would laugh their ass off. But do the same on a supercar and it's like "Wow, so well executed!!!" Money can't buy taste.



that is how it was spec'd from the factory

Naaaaaaaaaah it looks ok, fairly think stripes and well co-ordinated, may look better in a pastel though. The car is conducive to a little flair, looks like it is from the future.

Everything now makes sense. He doesn't spec, he just goes with what the dealer specs.

This is how you MSO.

Sure, but that doesn't mean it's in good taste. FK8 Civic Type R level of cheese.

I think it looks great and I imagine it sounds even better. I hope he is the type of guy to actually put miles on it!

I love this new Lamborghini. Just imagine how it’s going to look when it gets the SV, SVJ treatment. Woot.

I don't have to own 765 to call those accents cheesy and cheap. Money clearly doesn't buy good taste

to each his own...just comes across as a wee bit of jealousy when someone driving a 2 series is comparing someones 765 MSO to a Civic...just sayin

I'm sure he's devastated you don't like it.....

Good for your friend to sell his business. But those are some serious cliche "look at me cars".

I'd rather have that old R8 in the photos, personally.

I would certainly hope your friend has the backbone to endure the opinions of a lowly 2 series owner while driving his lime green pinstriped 765 No jealously here though. I not impressed by folks that drive supercars. I don't consider them any more important than anyone else. Good for them. Buy what you want if you have the means.

I think I'd enjoy more driving a Civic with 3 pedals.
