How much for a chrome Lamborghini?

The last time we even thought about a chrome-covered car was last year, upon being blinded by a very shiny BMW. Silly us--we thought the trend might have begun and ended there.

A fully chromed 2005 Lamborghini Murcielago is being offered on eBay with just 1,414 miles on it. The listing says the car "has been the subject of numerous magazine articles" and "has had one celebrity owner," which BornRich identifies as 50 Cent. (Clearly Crave needs to update our reading materials.)

But unlike the Beamer, this one has only chrome paint, not the real stuff. That must be why it's going for the bargain bid of only $225,300 as of this writing.

I believe this car was in one of the episodes of Unique Autosports on the Speed Channel for those of you that don't know Unique Autosports is ran by Will Castro who tricks/pimps/customizes cars for people especially the celebrities. 50 cent go the car customized there and if I recall correctly got pulled over or some non sense on the episode.
