Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[xXKingJoshXx]

That replica Cobra...() keeps reminding me of a tenth generation (1989-1997) Ford Thunderbird that I see with the front and rear end of a 1949 Mercury.

Would you, by chance, be talking about this car? The owner lives around here and for whatever reason brings it to shows.

 

[Anathema]

Just a local driver, got his giant shopping cart handle on the back of his Eclipse... which, incidentally, has the front bodykit slapped on there as well. Was in the car, didn't get a good shot with my phone. It works in demonstrating a questionable modification - meaning, DAYUMMMM THAT'S HUGE!

Also Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO "Ferrari"

I cant stand when people make those knock off cars.

Pretty soon there wont be anymore Fieros left

FWD cars REALLY need rear downforce yo.
fixed it.

If they're fast

If they're fast

Edited my post. I don't think any FWD cars on street tires need much if any rear downforce. Even the BTCC cars have very small wings.

Of course that particular car gains no benefit from that gigantic wing, its so large its hurting rather then helping. Dont underestimate DSMs though, even on street tires they can be stupid fast.

Looks just about the same! Although...it was a metallic green (possibly with flames) on it.

Absolutely love the title of the ad.

Speaking of replicas...

^This one is for sale. 99'000 zloty, which would be a bit over 24'000 EUR, 19'500 GBP or 31'300 USD.

Yes, it's from Poland.
I'm sorry.

It worries me that people like this guy are not just driving their cars, but customizing them...

Well this is interesting....

Hahaha the cold air intake that sticks out is ridiculous. Because one knows that the air outside the hood is way colder bro, that means more hp dawg.

Canada's worst driver season 10? Good tastes, though. Finally!

Sixty thousand dollars they spent on this show car. Sure doesn't look sixty thousand dollars nice.

I'm not one of those elitists who dogs others for getting automatic transmission equipped cars, but you mean to tell me that you've got this turbocharged car with nitrous and Brembo brakes, a racing seat and a racing wheel but yet you can't even row your own gears? Really?

This poor Cadillac...

Speaking of bagged cars, you can never have a compilation of bagged lulz without at least one Sonoma.

Fantastic color choice here. The rest, though...

I like how this guy has to park in the dirt while the unknown green car of lesser value gets the driveway.

The "Bone Collector". He must be so proud of himself.

Speaking of death-themed cars, there's this. Certainly questionable, though the back looks great.

I would not want to walk behind this car while it's running.

On a side note, I've been seeing this new style of wheels that's just awful, but I've been seeing it everywhere lately, especially on trucks and old luxury cars. They come in many designs, but most look like this:

Anyone else seeing this crap lately?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I wonder if that diffuser would fit on my wagon. That's the only part I like from that.

Tunning S-Klasse is just wrong. Espesially W140 and W221

It's just like James May said. Car looses it's personality for good. No sports car, neither a elegant limo any more.

-> Someone want to revive the Camaro's hidden head lights:

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Is that a Hot Wheels Camaro RL Edition or something?

A w221 with an elegant set of wheels looks very nice, the problem is that sadly, the people that modify them generally have bad taste

I kind of like it in a weird way.

Same here

I like that look tbh. Not a fan of the wheels and who knows what the deal with the speaker hanging under the dash is but its a pretty clean looking low rider. 👍 Needs some side mirrors though, its lazy to just remove them as opposed to finding or fabricating some that would go with the look.

Another Cobra replica based on NA Maita MX-5 and it's a got a 427.

Call me crazy, but I kinda like that.

Your crazy.

 

[Stotty]

I quite like that

You're crazy.

I know!
