Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[xXKingJoshXx]

There is someone I used to see around here with a convertible '09 V6 Challenger. You can tell it wasnt professionally done. It looked like someone just cut the roof off and stapled a fitted sheet to it. Or like what Top Gear did to that Espace.

I 1up you..

Who would do this to an M3?

The Stance

Where there's a will there's a way.

The 4-WD Mini.

The Stance

The stance is horrible, the wheels are far too big for that car - that or either the suspension has been raised.. I hate it.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

Saw this today.

 

[Wiegert]

Because how else are you going to use all that unused turquoise duct tape you have lying around?

 

[Madertus]

Saw this today.

What's questionable about that?

 

[Downhill Dino]

A. Purple. Cadillac.

That's in Barbie territory. But to each their own.

 

[Zenith]

The matte makes the car look dusty and he seems to have painted the stock wheels and grille.

 

[Brando-K]

What's questionable about that?

The owner let it get covered in dust. Obviously.


I like that M3 with the carbon fibre (looking?) boot lid.
A little less stance and it'd look good.

The 4-WD Mini.

I have 8 lug versions of those with red around the triangles

No. A pink Cadillac is in Barbie territory. Purple is in Pimp territory.

But it looks alright though.

*matte purple CTS*

I don't like the purple color on it but if it was a other color I would love it.

From a distance you wouldn't even notice it but if you get close it just looks bad.
If you remove the tape on it can't the paint be removed or damaged?

 

[Doog]

No. A pink Cadillac is in Cosmetics Saleswoman territory. Purple is in Saints Row territory.

But it looks alright though.

Fixed.

Also...

While finding those I stumbled upon this.

How neat is that?

 

[overheating]

My wife is on the lookout for questionable modifications as well. Here is her latest find. (on FB)

 

[Doog]

Is that a Kia Rio?

At first glance I thought it was a Jaguar X-Type.

 

[RocZX]

*Watermelon car*

 

[Slash]

 

[Madertus]

The watermelon car is a (destroyed) Daewoo Lanos.

Abomination.

 

[Joey D]

It has the 1.8L out of a Integra Type-R in it good for about 200hp. The whole frame is even custom built to support the engine.

 

[Roo]

Abomination.

I agree, it is an abomination, but it's a twin VTEC engined, 1000bhp abomination.

The fact that it has 1000bhp doesn't make up for the fact that it looks like an abomination.

 

[Madertus]

^ Still, forgiven.

But it's ruined by the tacky paintjob.

Still crap, though.

1000hp trumps look. I mean people buy the Bugatti Veyron and it looks like a giant cockroach, doesn't make it any less impressive of a car though.

But it's ruined by the tacky paintjob.

Who cares? If I saw a VTEC Mini the last thing I'd be wondering about is the colour of the paint. Cars with crazy specs are allowed to look goofy.

 

[McLaren]

A prime and well-known of Porsche tuning done the wrong way.
Hell, Porsche tuning itself is wrong...

Not questionable as it is functional & possibly, RUF's only real race car. It is a Hill Climb car, & outputs 702whp. And it is extremely fast to see in person.

Who cares? I do.
Yeah, a VTEC Mini, fantastic. But if I were to roll up to a party or a club or wherever in that Mini, I'd be the laughingstock. Hell, I'd probably be called a ricer. Performance is only part of the equation; the car should look as good as it performs. Nobody wants a car that does 0 to 60 in two seconds and goes 200 mph but looks awful. And even if there are people who like it, they probably live on the internet and can't afford it.
But yeah, performance is great, but if the car looks awful, then I don't care if it has amazing performance.
