Matte-Orange Cadillac CTS Gets Body Kit of Questionable Taste in China

The Cadillac CTS, especially in its coupe form, is one very mean and very angular looking machine, and if that’s what you’re in the market for, you won’t find a more imposing car, no matter how hard you look. However, a Chinese owner decided that it wasn’t enough, so he has added a very brash body kit and then painted it matte-orange.

The car is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 which has been tuned to produce a reported 450 hp. Now, the most striking part of the car - the body kit and paint job. We are not totally convinced by the over-the-top nature of the body kit (despite the fact that it does suit the car), but the finish on the body is just stunning - matte orange is one of the better matte finishes out there, for any car, let alone something as noticeable as this.

Apparently, the owner got the ‘inspiration’ for the mods from a similarly-modified car presented at a tuning show in the United Arab Emirates. What do you think? Kitsch or cool?
