    I'm sure that car is like a Yugo in the Mid East right now. With all the oil money these guys are making they probably consider the owner of the car you pictured to be a piker. (What, Abdul, you only have 100,000 diamonds on your car. I'm ashamed to be seen with you!!!!!!!! )

    diamond flake

     



    not too bad for that car, but when you get ready to do a street rod I think you should do flames in rubies, garnets saphires etc. to set it off. that would be awesome.

    They have Merc's in Saudi that are not seen nor sold anywhere else - and for sure are one step beyond megabucks - "What - you really don't want me to drive into Dhahran in that cheap old $500K SLR MacLaren do you?" Lots of 'fun' to hang out on a weekend (Thursday & Friday nights) there and watch the guys wearing their robes with the dish rag and fanbelt on their heads just cruisin'

    Diamond encrusted

     



    Apparently, lots of money makes you stupid, and the heat dosen't help. Since I live in Canada, it's cold and I'm broke. The best I can cover my car in, is bird poop. Ok, so maybe having all our gas money to play with is a plus after all. Sniper

    I don't know if the info on this is true or not. A friend saw the car at the SEMA show, and said it looked like sequines or crystals. I just thought it would be interesting to discuss.

    ....and maybe it really is diamonds, but at 4.8 million dollars, they would be low quality! I'll do your car in any grade of stones you want! LOL! :-)~
