Depends on the car.
If you want to do it to an XD falcon, go for it. You can't make it any worse.
But I wouldn't do it to a mini. You'd get more stuff securly in a van anyway.

To do it properly you will not get much change back from 4-5 grand without paint.

What do you mean nobody here dumb enough!, a ute conversation looks a hell of allot beter than a deseamed mini and there are plenty of people here that have done that. I like the utes if they are done right.

Nah, I see it as more like making a Deluxe into a Cooper S lookalike.

Everyone wants one, but only a few can afford the real thing due to its rarity.
But each to his own :)
