Each to his own.....
I wouldn't be seen driving it but that's not going to happen anyway.
It's like, for instance lowriders...now they are often looked down on (Yes I know Ha Ha !!), but for someone like myself who had a classical education I have to admire the work and enthusiasm that has gone into these things, because I know I don't have the ability to carry out wonderful paintwork or metalwork !!
If it wasn't for occasional people taking the time and trouble to do these things the world would be a much duller place !
Actually on reflection perhaps I would drive it.....just to annoy people !
The first car I ever imported into the UK from the US was a 1947 Chevy Fleetline aerosedan in bright green......I took it to a Rolls Royce rally.
I can still see the look on their faces as they directed me to the corner of a field...hilarious !!!

Hmmnn,
This truck can't possibly stir up as much discontent among the KR Purists as my truck (See gallery). However, my truck is just that, at truck. Pulls my boat, takes me to Baja, the Mountains, desert etc.
I bet that there are some that would hate what I have done to my truck, but. if I want Pure beauty I have my Ducatis, and my M3, not to mention my Beautiful girlfriend.

A Touch of Class
Understated artistry. The genius of simplicity.
They say, if you want to get someone's attention; whisper.
I have nothing against customizing vehicles, but to do THAT to a KR is like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. What makes the King Ranch special is understated elegance. I can only imagine that it is on E-Bay because the guy woke up one morning and looked at the thing and said to himself, "my God, what have I done?" Best wishes to the new owner. Hope he has a thick skin, 'cause he's going to take some razzing for sure.
