About 160 Gucci stickers strategically located on that white paint would be the ultimate. Make it look like a big ol' handbag on wheels. Woops, that would make it a suitcase. Yeah, a big ol' suitcase. Full of fail. Preeeeeeeeeyaaaaaach.

PantherP71 - What is the S 55 treatment?
Usually means tinting / painting the taillights and back-up lights, and leaving the indentation areas untinted / unpainted.

This was part of the "package" on the introduction Marauder SEMA concept. Also included ( amoung other things )... RED interior accents ( seats, dash trim, steering wheel, floor mats ).
gun-metal gray wheels.

Just remember with smoking the headlights it's going to cut down on the light output from your headlights and with the taillights could make it a lot harder for people to see when you're braking. I've seen someone get plowed right in the rear because their rear lights were tinted way too dark. Most states you need to be clearly be able to see the Red Light from 500ft away for it to be legal.

As for this car, this isnt a photoshop. The white marauder from the rear with the spotless looking paint and the dealer advertising license plate is the photoshop. The badge is one of those aluminum donk special ugly badges along with the "marauder" on the doors...

White reminds me of Florida cars...you know the ones...blue-hair behind the wheel, 15 MPH under the speed limit...left blinker on for 11 miles.

Having said that, I at first thought Silver Birch looked too much like an airport limo, but now I ownz one.

At least it appears your shop is doing a decent job...painting the door jambs, etc... you will certainly have a limited edition.

Fog lights don't put out much light. Just upgrade to some SilverStar bulbs or a 4300K, 5000K, or 6000K HID Bi-Xenon High/Low kit.

This effort seems to be the best white treatment that we've seen. The stark look of the Black, DTR, Silver Birch and Blue's will not work on the Pearl White scheme. IMO.

Some tasteful graphics are in order such as Pin striping on the hood, trunk, sides, plus a single front quarter panel "Marauder" badge.

This color is growing on me. Striping in Black or Teal, even a Magenta.

Let us know the cost, if possible.


This car could be as classy as an Escalade.

+1, I always liked TSPA's white clone. This is even better, except, another original has bitten the dust. Its phillykid's car, he can do what he wants to it. I get upset when major changes are made to a MM as there were so few built as compared to other cars being a dime a dozen.
I appreciate the fact he did not vandalize it. The car appears to be stock. It will fool the great masses of the unboffed. Well done.

I'd be interested in knowing what your paint job cost, in round numbers. Looks like a quality job, from what I can tell looking at your pics. Are you happy with it?

What she said... I have tree damage that I am claiming with my ins company, but after they give their figures, I would like to see how much more it will cost for me to have the whole car redone! EST PRICE PLEASE!?!?!

I told my body man to leave it black but he suggested all white.it looks good in person in the light but if it doesnt grow on me ima paint the verticals black. I left the fog lights alone they white.im trying to do like a white black set like a domino


or a dalmation???

Seriously I like it ....the car looks pretty good in white....I would leave the vert grille black and the surround white like in the pick....I like the way it looks on the SB Marauders.....

IMHO, it would look good as is with the white grill if the headlights were stock tint. Not sure about Philly, but around here, now, that level of tint is going to cost you a pinch. The stockers were already tinted as dark as the DOT allows.

Lookin damn good. I like the white grille, would leave it this way looks cleaner.

And the stock headlamps arent tinted theyre just black where it doesn't need to be reflective.

I'd stick with the stock wheels.

Phillykid, do the headlights look better in person? I like the look, but it might be a tad over the top with the all white grill. Hows the visibilty at night? I live out in God's country and need all the light I can get at night to see the giant horned forest rats before I hit them.
