Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

looks hella sick! or is the carbon fiber fake?

All of the above from the 2014 Florida Bug Jam. In case you needed a reason to stay out of Florida...

I like the first one.

A Cummins probably doesn't weigh anymore or take up any more space than those boat anchor 1950's holdover V8s the Galaxie was usually stuck with. Certainly wouldn't make it any slower unless it was a 7 Litre

The Cummins or the Ferd?

 

[Tornado]

The Ford. "7 Litre" was the top sport trim level on the Galaxie. It theoretically could be had with essentially a "street" version of the same engine Ford used in the early 427 Cobra and GT40 Mk. IV, which would make it quite quick indeed; but all but like 30 people just got the 428 which a Cummins would also easily keep up with.

Gotcha. 👍

just the rims alone are a crime

Never been a fan of this headlight kit... just looks odd.

But the first beetlerod is awesome.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

This guy could have probably done a longer burnout if he didn't per-say...um...buy skinny tires! That's what I find questionable, why bother doing any performance modifications to a car if you're just going to put useless tires on them anyway?


I also bet that widebody kit is not functional.


...
*facepalm*

 

[Fastcarguy]

So this "Platinum Player" guy... lets just say as a whole, very questionable.

That Mustang is a very pretty blue though

 

[hemisport15]

I'm not.

Yay SEMA.

Just a heads up, that's real carbon fiber... not a wrap.



"The team at FAST takes our full carbon fiber Z4M from the garage at Slek Designs in Long Beach, California and heads out to Las Vegas, Nevada for the 2014 SEMA Show"

 

[TexRex]

Still easily the ugliest Z4 I've seen.

i love it! looks agressive and no cheap autozone "upgrades"

Its entirely carbon fiber. the most you can get away with is the hood being carbon fiber. I would not drive it or own it if it was offered to me for free.

Edit: it also has gold rims, and stickers along the bottom of the door. Gold rims only work on a blue rally themed Subaru, and stickers automatically make it awful

 

[Tornado]

Being actually made of carbon fiber doesn't help much when it was sculpted by a blind person and then put on a car that was already... let's say "aesthetically challenged".

Gold rims DO NOT ONLY work on Subaru Blue.

They work on pretty much any solid colour. Take a look at the Tasteful Mods Thread.

*throws up*

 

[TexRex]

The wheels don't belong regardless, but I could almost forgive the openings in the nose (not the additional lights, though) if there's a need for a radiator. There appears to be mesh screening, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Then there's the matter of the roof...

 

[Zychotic1]

I'm pretty sure i've seen that bug before, if memory serves theres an LS1 hiding in the nose

I love how people find it hard to respect others opinion....

Ever consider it may have been in response to the actual wording you used, rather than the point you were making? What does one occasionally do when sick? It's also worth noting that you agreed to a set of guidelines upon registering to this site that included the use of capital letters when appropriate.

I don't understand what you mean

It can be argued that the Z4 wasn't especially attractive to begin with, and those modifications may well have made matters even worse--despite materials used.
