Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Carlos]

Questionable Modifications (AKA Ricers) Means all show no go...
The RE RX-7 will smoke most thinks that comes in its way. The things on the car serve to do somting to help it move faster, and turn better.

No I don't think so.. It may be faster, but it's still ugly and questionable becaus there are so many other and nice options to let it go faster..

 

[stumpydino]

surprisingly it wasnt posted commenting at the performance its ugly, so its questionable, unless ugly is the new beautiful with you kids these days, sure it may go fast woopdeedoo but it looks like ass

It's not ugly. It's just the headlights and the rearlights which are !@#$%ed up

If Cosmic says it's not ugly, It's not ugly. End of discussion.

Also, that Miata in the back has Altezzas. Do you guys know ANY cars that haven't been killed by some form of those godawful clear tails?

THose Miatas have those lights stock, look up the newest model on google.

 

[Duke]

I actually like that kit, bar the paintjob.

Different look, yet subtle.

Subtly hideous, that is. Just awful, IMHO. RE-Amemiya or not; they're not immune. It's F-U-G-L-Y. The headlights and taillights do nothing to make it faster or handle better, no matter what you say. All they do is take a gorgeous RX-7 FD and ruin it.

I concur.

The Veilside FD looks better than that.

Am I the only one who would seriously consider dying as opposed to "ryding" in ^? If just for that banner. Also, that Miata in the back has Altezzas. Do you guys know ANY cars that haven't been killed by some form of those godawful clear tails?

Actually, those are stock on the 2006 Mazda MX-5

It's not ugly... I don't think it's ugly.. Maybe you on crack!

Fair call, but my point still remains.
THE only car, I feel, that can pull Altezza lights off is, surprisingly enough, the Altezza. Just like Supra spoilers on the Supra.

I wasn't saying they were modified, the mx5 just reminded me about it. The whole clear light fad is just awful as far as I'm concerned, the Evo 7 to 8 change being a case in point.

Oh, and Bondy, admittedly it's not totally hideous, but

I believe what many call "Altezza" lights are known as Euro-Lights, or Clear-Tail Lights.

And ugly as sin 99% of the time, whatever they are called.

 

[dylansan]

Mmm, I call em euro style lights too, but since they do nothing to performance I don't see why they exist.


Anyway, I don't know if this has been posted before but...

On the site I found it on it said it may have been a joke, but this could very well be someone's idea of "cool".

This also! I mean come on! It's not even symetrical, plus, even if it was, it would still be ugly in my opinion!

Those are Supra lights...


@ Minicooper.. Those are the oldest ricer pics on the web.

 

[HKS T51R]

LOL Awesome wing

No, Altezza lights look awesome. Not hideouis 99% of the time.

 

[slidesquad#1]

old-school XA/XB australian ford falcon.

And everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I respect that, hence the phrases like "I feel that" and "personally". Taste is subjective, and there's no way you can say for a fact that altezzas are/are not awesome, GT4_Rule.

 

[Jim Prower]

say, anyone got pics of the Ricer charas form "Cars?" I can't find any.

 

[mwoodski]

It's modified.

Yes, the Vauxhall VXR Monaro.

Not a Vauxhall but same deal.

 

[mwoodski]

Yes, but it comes stock with clear lights, and they lok wicked!

 

[Jay]

I know, but with black backing, not true ricer style like these.

Meh, they look ok, much much better than the aftermarket reflective backing tail lights.

 

[mwoodski]

I have a feeling, those all clear ones would look good on a silver coloured car.

Cheers,
Matt.

 

[GT4_Rule]

Clear taillights are a trend...heh, more "factory" cars are starting to have them, which I like.

 

[Wolfe]

I generally dislike euro/altezza taillights...the shinier, the uglier, although carbon fiber is just as stupid.

What I do like is euro/clear turn signals, though there are exceptions.

"Okay" <-----------------------------------> "Awesome"

I also like the occasional smoked taillight/turn signal, as long as it isn't overdone.

"Okay" <--------------------------------> "Awesome"

 

[GT4_Rule]

White/Smoked always looks good. Or at least, most of the time, when applied subtly.

I've got no problem with the one's posted up there, and I do agree they are pretty awesome, but my problem is with these:

Good:

Non BMW tail lite shyteness:

 

[DQuaN]

Why, WHY would anyone do this to an E-Type??????

 

[F1GTR]
