Default 911 Sculpture

Saw this sculpture in a shopping mall in Dallas. Not a wrapped car but a free-standing sculpture:

Yes: TackyChineseBuffet

I puzzled over it when we were there in July. Hideous, but cool.

Any idea of what it is made out of? Hopefully not sushi.

It is a fiberglass cast mold then painted white and then colored.
I go to China about 6-7 times a year for business. Have been to Porsche and Ferrari dealers where I've seen locals walk in with bags of cash to purchase new cars and are paying 3-4 times what we pay in the US. Taste level not there yet it's more about acquiring western treasures. They are a hard working aggressive culture. Been going for over 20 years and have seen it change completely.
