I decided to use this theme on my current lucid desktop, but then I was really surprised. Instead of the tar.gz I was only able to download the Screenshot file. Fortunately I had an older version on deviantart.com. I decided to download the old one and continue developing it. As a result I am now using a different and new style and some of the new murrine options.
I hope you like it now. Tell me what you dont like instead of rating it down.

I-N-S-T-A-L-L-A-T-I-O-N I-N-S-T-R-U-C-T-I-O-N-S
Requires gtk2-engines-murrine version 0.90.3-git20100323 at least
I suggest that you extract the archive to "/usr/share/themes/"
The Font inside the Archive has to be extracted in your distros font folder.
The Panel-background has to be selected by the gnome-panel settings dialogue

I love muscle cars, and the Plymouth Cuda also has a beautiful name. This Theme looks a little bit like a Shiki-Modification, but it's based on the Human-Theme in ubuntu and it uses a Mod of the Dust-Metacity. If you prefer the Sugar-Metacity, then you schould have a look on this site:

If you don't like it, tell me why before you rate it bad.

* I took care of some suggested improvements, but I was unable to turn every one into reality.
* I have fixed some Checkbox issues, once again.
* Menu-Checkbox corrected, another scrollbarstyle, another toolbar
* restarted from an old version and added some new things.
* another scrollbarstyle
* murrine git version options added - new dark toolbar and light toolbar
* created the best looking toolbar, I have ever made - and without any pixmaps ;-). Added a dark Gradient to the menubar.
* further little changes and a black nautilus toolbar. No problems with firefox and thunderbird, because of a white menubar
* the glossy effects are more heavier now, inclusive the scrollbar. Changes to the panel buttons. added simple Line to the code to modify the menubar firefox-friendly (!!! Not enabled !!!)
* more, not too heavy, glossy effects ;-)
* another titlebar for the metacity, another Button-look.
* new metacity - have a look at the second screenshot, which shows the perfect match with the DUST-Theme. ....and some minor changes to the gtk-theme. (ICON-THEME DUST!!!)
* updated index.theme file, readable firefox menubar text, evolution-mail toolbar fixes and a more purple selected color
* removed pixmaps and green default color, it's RUSTY now
* added the striped progressbar with pixmaps
* removed the grunge style, because it does not look good with the glossy panel-style
* something more is new ;-) especially the panel.png and the metacity give a grunge experience.
* new Metacity, new buttons, new progressbar, new scale, new menubar (Firefox/Thunderbird MenuItems are dark and not readable), new colors, new nautilus sidebar, almost everything is new
* using some murrine settings from "Dust"-Theme and a more good looking scrollbar
* removed the special menubarstyle and using workarounds from Shiki-Colors for a better appearence.
* special menubarstyle for Openoffice.org and Firefox
* Menubar Text is can now being read easier
* removed false settings and the panel has the same color as the Window-Frame now.

Other than that might I suggest "Neotech Regular 8" as your sys font it looks better on this theme.
Great effort.

If you have a download link, I will try it.
Besides that, I have used the Font "Fontin" as it looks like the font which is used in the PS3 game Uncharted 2. I always had its concept art in mind when creating this theme.

1. The menu doesn't match with the panel; the words "Place" and "System" are unreadable.
2. The area under the window border should match the window border itself. There should be a seemless transition between them.
3. When in Nautilus the left-hand side of the window is completely purple. It shoud be the same as the rest.

2. Do you mean the bottom line of the metacity-theme? If it's so, I have fixed it!
3. I didn't understand what exactly you have been talking about, so I changed the nautilus-sidebar to the background color.
I hope the current update (19 July 2010) is to your liking!

Btw. disgusting colors depend on the wallpaper, which is used. E.g. the elementary gtk: I am of the opinion that it only looks good, if a blue, minimalistic wallpaper is used, if not it looks disgusting.
Furthermore, the colors fit very well for the Rusty style.
