Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

I could like this if it had normal sized wheels and tires

Agreed, assuming the bed modification is done well and it isn't a total hack job. Not that they're not still wildly inappropriate, the wheels do appear to be OE Merc--so there's that. I'd be curious what the reserve was and if it was met.

Here's a well-done conversion, though still questionable as far as I'm concerned (it's possible for something you like to still be in poor taste):

It was done pretty dang well. I have a picture on my computer I may upload later on. Had somewhat large wheel wells, though.

May well have been tubbed simply to make the job of enclosing the space simpler. I've seen cobble jobs where they didn't bother to make the bed the least bit functional. Ideally, it looks as though it was intended to look the way it does. (And therein lies the root of my dislike of "stanced" cars--the danged things look broken.)

That poor 914...

That poor 914...

It's a 6-er, too. Something like that warrants a cheapy with the Bus engine. I like it and at the same time I don't.

What the ****.

And here I would've expected you toost this in that other thread.

If you're going to make a clone of a car, at least make sure it's of the same body style.

 

[TexRex]

I'll likely regret asking, but what's it supposed to be a clone of?

Looks like it's supposed to be an Evo.

 

[TexRex]

In very broad terms, I suppose--I mean it's got box flares and a wing. But that's like saying I resemble Charlton Heston because we've both got round necks. I figured it might be an attempt to clone a car from one of those Dumb and Dumber Fast and Furious movies.

 

[Tornado]

That interior is so 2 Fast 2 Furious it hurts.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Absolutely disgusting

Despise it- Tony Gwynn, what were you thinking? (notice the two door conversion and choptop)

That Merc!

What's wrong with the Ute Merc?

He is Australian.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

He is Australian.

What? No I actually like it. I was stating it as, I see nothing wrong with it, what do you guys see off?

 

[Cowboy]

Seen this at a car show yesterday........

Not bad. *only say that 'cause it's hauling something better*

The wheels look gross and are too big with huge tires

I'd still rock it.

 

[TexRex]

Blecch!!!

(Note: I was actually going to post a clever-or-not reply saying something along the lines of "I'd rock it too--with these wheels:" followed by a picture of OE 450SEL wheels that I was in the process of looking for when I found the above. They're GLK bits if I'm not mistaken.)

 

[Fastcarguy]

I like it. Rim size just need to shrink 1-2 inches

 

[Sage Ages]

Needs AMG wheels.

 

[Northstar]

Needs C4, lots and lots of C4...

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Yes.

Needs AMG wheels.

That too.

Lower it two inches, and perfect.

 

[ildd]

Needs AMG wheels.

I don't know if AMG II would suit these very well... and those look good on almost anything

These do.

 

[Sage Ages]

No.

These.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Nah. I would color code the other rims.

Like this

I've gotta side with @Custom878 on this one. Those Pentas offer a much needed reduction in diameter, fit the look of the original car to a T, and aren't nearly as cliché. And I know it's been done plenty, but I think color-coding wheels to the body ends up looking tacky--I can't help but lump it in with a white Escalade on white 26s.
