Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Gordonfan24]

...at least this car can be called a real Lamborghini and not a kit car.

I don't know if I would go that far...

It looks rather high for something of its breed. Looks more like a kit car than anything else, to me. And the rear end is hideous.
This car definitely fits this thread fairly well. I don't know if I would want my Lamborghini to look like that, with the exception of the headlights.

 

[bondy_1625]

No i still think that WHOLE car is questionable, even the headlights, they just dont look right on that car. Mind you that car just doesnt look right!

I think thats the first time I felt like laughing and puking the same time.

I also like the tail lights (excluding the firebird on them).

 

[eliseracer]

My buddy has a matte black 240. I'm gonna have to show him, I'm sure he'll like 'em. Winter's here and the car is in the garage, he'd most likely do it as well.

Friends don't let friends do crappy, pointless modifications to their cars.

The Mustang/Corvette thing and the truly bizzare Firebird/240SX confused the living hell out of me. And that's coming from someone who has spent most of the day studying for an exam which is basically covering everything I've learnt in chemistry for the past two years... and I thought I was confused before!

And it has to be said... where the hell did he get the front end of an '05 Mustang? The person who did that needs a good solid beating if he bought an '05 Mustang just to chop off the front end (unless it was a wrecked Mustang with the front end intact; at least he wouldn't have wasted a perfectly good car then).

 

[Jay]

where the hell did he get the front end of an '05 Mustang? .

Walked into a Ford dealership and ordered that parts new...... or maybe he runs a wrecking yard and fixed damaged Mustang with an 05 front and C5 rear?

 

[Emohawk]

Maybe the '5 Mustang owner wanted to put on a 240SX front end.

Hah, I love the fact that it's all pimped up too.

Is that Method Man's ice cream truck?

 

[VIPFREAK]

Could be a present from west coast customs to xhibit?

 

[Ev0]

That truck is kind of funny... in a good way.

 

[Cosmic]

First in Flight is right for that S2000.

Doesn't even have the right background on the badges.

On the Lamborghini, that is the Diablo Coatl Special.
Why does it look so hideous? Because Lamborghini actually backed the Mexican based company that designed it.
I don't mind it, but it'd be the last Lamborghini I'd buy. I'd change the hood personally, but the headlights are a little mean looking. But the back has to go.

More info.

This lambo belongs to the junkyard! It's just trash!

And now for some American confusion... That's a 96-99 Mustang, with an 05+ front end, and a C5 rear end.

What the ****!

Über-cool?! With enough negative camber to be riding on the inside sidewalls? With the belly so low that it would high-center on a beer can? With tires that small (gotta get low), the insane camber angles, and the undoubtedly-chopped coil springs, that thing probably handles and rides like somebody wearing soccer cleats on an ice rink.

Yes.

I always thought this style looks awesome, no matter how it might mess up function.

 

[High-Test]

That 240 that wishes it is half the car of the 1979 Pontiac Trans Am is a digrace.



I like 240s, but come on, a poor '79 TA was killed for no reason...

That lamborghini is just.... wrong.

Although a smaller wing would have worked just fine, it still probably produces downforce, so it therefore would not be a questionnable modification. The fart can exhaust on the other hand suggests both modifications were made for cosmetic reasons and not to enhance performance.

 

[xcsti]

Is that wing taped on?

The wing needs to die. On the other hand, if he has a full exhaust system, it would be pretty pointless to leave the standard muffler on. It's bigger than what I would have, but isn't neccessarily *completely* cosmetic...

I really doubt that fact that that Miata needs any downforce whatsoever. the fart muffler may actaully be a performance enhancer though ('roids for your car!).
Edit: Ehilst we are on the subject, here are some more Miata's:

(A Miarari)

(A Miancia. That's just embarassing. Damn.)

(A Mustiata. Wait, that sounds cool. Looks pretty good too...I guess.)

(A Miaguar. Wow.)

(A Missan...or Miatsun! Why?)

(A Miobra. Looks alright, sorta.)

(A...Off...road...um...Miata. Yeah... )

 

[dropzone]

If you've seen Tuner Transformation then you've seen them do some dumb stuff to cars and act dumb as hell too. But this mod has me going especially since I've seen them put it on FFs, I know they put it on a Honda Element and I think on Jin's Cobalt(not SS Supercharged). Why name that thing the DriftBlade when the cars i've seen them on(only on Tuner Transformation of course) will never drift?

...

(A Miancia. That's just embarassing. Damn.)...

Are those Mugen rims on that Miata? What a waste of some true classics.

 

[Ev0]

I can't really see the image too well thanks to my crummy old monitor, but from the description it just sounds like a very long winded way of saying 'front splitter'.

As for those modified Miatas... those are all undoubtedly questionable mods. Perfect waste of a brilliant car.

NR-10s, yep. They aren't the prettiest wheels whatsoever when on a Honda, it's even worse on a Mazda.

 

[Emohawk]

I really like the Alitalia one, actually. Maybe the wheels should be yellow though.

 

[VIPFREAK]

WTF is up with all the ****ed up Miatas... ?

 

[toyomatt84]

NR-10s, yep. They aren't the prettiest wheels whatsoever when on a Honda, it's even worse on a Mazda.

I'm nostalgic when it comes to Mugen Rims. I think the fact that those rims are both rare and unique, adds to my interest in them. I think they're cool, for what they are. But they're DEFINITELY not a Miata look.

Someone needs to check the Czechs...

Everyone has seen CARisma's butchered TVR Cerbera by now...



He's had a go at a 993 as well...



And there's this TVR, which I suspect comes out of the same place...
