Positives, to me: wheels aren't chromed, wheels not so big they raise the car too much into 4wd territory, a paint color that accents the lines and shapes of the body sheet metal, two-tones were somewhat popular (panels and sections thereof) several years later, it NOT a Crown Vic/Grand Marquis on 24s; it's not black, dark gray, or other "stealth" color scheme.
Negatives, to me: might have gone with a darker red/crimson, Turbine Bronze, or B5 Blue base color, window tint is tooo dark, LOTS of black paint to keep shining (toward the middle of the panels, although they tend to mimic the '74-'75 Road Runner decal option), might have used Magnum 500-look wheels (machined finish), no factory-style pin stripes.
I know we're used to seeing these cars with vinyl roofs and body side moldings, so seeing one without those items makes them look nekkid or "base model" rather than upscale. Perhaps the color and lack of those items is "hiding" some bodywork that might have otherwise "totaled" the car? At least that was a model with the large faceplate radio, into which many aftermarket "screen" radios can be adapted (where's the backup camera?).
Whether we might like it or not, it's his money that made it the way it is. It reflects his desires and tastes. As with other customized vehicles, finding somebody with similar tastes and orientations WITH money can lead to another Chrysler finding a future home. We're just not quite used to seeing people use Chrysles as "canvasses" for mild-customized vehicles as many older Buicks have tended to be used. At least it wasn't one of Chrysler's less-well-received styles that he spent money on! And, what's been done is somewhat reversible, it appears.

, and as for the comments on the Facebook page, mostly mental midgets that don't know jack about the car hobby IMO
