Anyone else witness THIS tragedy??

[BAD MERC]

I pray that nobody here is guilty of putting the 12 miles of chrome door-edge trim on this defenseless Marauder. Nice rare blue but take off the gaudy stick-ons!

Why do people do that?

[duhtroll]

Needs more chrome.

Maybe a chrome grille, too.

Hell, just paint it chrome (what car was that chrome monstrosity that could be seen frmo space?)

Chrome is your friend.

Mmmmmm. Chrome.

:P

:laugh:Why, it's a calliope, of course.

And those three shadow/reflections on the hood, .....um could they be giant, well, er uh, ......winkies?:dunno:

[Bigdogjim]

Florida people will stop at nothing?

We have a large membership base in that state?

Well get over there and de-chrome that marauder?

I don't know, I think it needs more Cowbell. :lol:

I think she has trouble finding the doors at night...

[jim geary]

Cheer up guys, could always be worse. Could have covered it with fur. Or
better yet outdoor carpet.

[jgc61sr2002]

It appears that trim is easily removeable.:D

[hitchhiker]

Becky like chrome!

:D

[kj31067]

it cant be....gasp....purple neons....?

[SideshowBob]

No trim around the hood and trunk. Totally throws off the whole styling motif.

[jimlam56]

Miss Rebecca is tough on her Marauder.
Note scratchy paint and filthy carpets.
Engine has never been detailed either.
Not to mention the plastic chrome fetish...
Tsk, tsk.

[Bigdogjim]

Florida the chrome State

[Mad4Macs]

Meh. It looks like someone sucked at caulk.

[Mad1]

If you're going to go for chrome outlines ... which from some angles in the photos has a moderately nice look. Then she should have gone gonzo and done the whole thing with every piece outlined in chrome trim.

I'm not saying I'd buy it that way, but I believe anything worth doing is worth doing well and finishing.

Becky, if I may; likes it like that but not enough to keep. I agree, girl; but it can be fixed with a good detail-a close look at the pics to observe that tho handsome our FOUR doors outlined in chrome make your ride look like a subway for dwarfs. I agree that the chrome in the lower cladding groove looks kind of ok but that may be enough. If you were involved here you would like your Marauder enough to keep it, I promise. Hope you get your price. Blues are very nice and very rare. Dennis:D

[magindat]

No way I'd buy it. They forgot to put trim around the trunk and hood!









:lol:

[the_pack_rat]

Yea that's pretty bad.

Now, had they used a "pimpin" gold theme for the trim .....

Threw on a luggage rack & a set of 24's both dipped in said gold, along with a white roadster top ......

That would be hands down the best MM to ever cruise the earth.
























:stupid:

[ckadiddle]

Looks like the Door Trim Fairy visited late one night. Yeeeks. Reminds me, previous owner of the wofe's stang put some of that crap on it. I still need to remove it.

[seans]

Was the "LLumar Clear Coat" a special order item? I wonder if mine has it.:)

[Bluerauder]

Blues are very nice and very rare. Dennis:D
The Blue MM with Light Flint is the rarest of the rare. :) The styling with the monochrome exterior was one of the major reasons I liked the Marauder in the first place. No chrome trimming for me. ;)

Could be that Becky needs to downsize to a smaller vehicle from the looks of the scrapes and scratches on the bumpers. :rolleyes:

[Krytin]

I haven't seen any light flint interior cars in person - the carpet and the door panels don't match the seats??

[sspmustang]

Nope. You either like it or you don't, which perhaps explains why so few were ordered year 2...
