You know it would end up with a wild paint job not to mention other custom features. Let's see... Digital back? No problem. Connection to 50" Plasma TV? No problem. But Xzibit with a Tilley hat? No, I don't think so. You can take things only so far. For those unfamiliar with the show, check it out at: http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/pimp_my_ride/series.jhtml Robert Dan C wrote: How about taking the camera to a decent auto body shop? If you can remove all the innards before hand, it should be easy to get just about any finish you want baked onto the body. A recent episode of "American Chopper" (shown in North America) shows them building a bike with copper plated parts (based on the Statue of Liberty). Imagine a Leica M copper plated with a protective clear coat. Now that would be a beautiful camera!
