Call me crazy, but I think aesthetically that's not a very pretty car. He's going for a two-tone red/blue scheme, but it doesn't mix well at all. The rollcage strikes a disonant contrast with the red interior, and the red rims come off as being too gaudy.

a tip for your friend, from some one who actually is an professional artest...

Basic Color Theory

Lil more Color theory...

if he's building a show car, he'd do well to read up and understand the basics of color and color harmonies.
