Some more Tokyo Auto Salon cars

:crazy:
 
1. Way too many lights than needed
2. Front facing blue lights


It's a response vehicle.... Visibility is a main priority especially for an unmarked unit like that. Blue lights in the front? Why does it matter? Again, it's a response vehicle... The colours of the lights are most likely regulated by the municipality. Hell, our police car's weren't allowed blue lights until a few years ago. Saying a police vehicle has too many emergency lights and therefore questionable is laughable.

0032 was very nice

Hemisfear was OK.

Here I have to make a point on his favor: before the Tv shows ruined him, he was a pretty decent designer and actually did some pretty good desings on his time as a ture hot rod designer. The 0032 was actually a redo of a Coddington car but it came out gorgeous. To me his personal high-point was the Sniper:

but once he started doing the tv trash his creativity went down the drain. Mine would too if I had to puke out a car each week for a TV show aimed at masses of ignorant "car people". And his reputation really took a hard hit to the point that many people that liked his previous work can't stand most of what he does now. Like me.
 
I agree with Cano since I am yet to see a car on overhaulin' that I like but the people on the show think it's the greatest thing ever ...
 
I honestly don't really have too big of a problem with Chip Foose, he has done some cars I have liked before, but there are a few I am not a fan of. I would prefer him over Mansory any day. Just my personal opinion of course.

Chip Foose's cars look like fantasy Hot Wheels models.
 
It could actually be distracting to some people.

That's kind of the point...

Granted it may seem pointless when the vehicle isn't moving, but when you are trying to get through traffic asap, the more lights and sirens, the better(I've seen people fail to move over for fire trucks with lights and sirens on).
 
Even Chip Foose being bad, every single person would prefer him over Mansory.
I'd probably take their Aventador over Chip's work. Not that much of a fan...

Same... Having 2 lights and a siren works sometimes but a sunny day in my city? Forget it.
 
Didn't snap a picture of it, but I just saw a white Infiniti G35 with a large matte black sticker behind the door. I'm thinking it was made to intentionally look like the carbon blades on an Audi R8.

Sir/ma'am, you fail.
 
Same situation as above, I saw a gray Hyundai Genesis with flat orange roof, skirts and bumpers. The car also had some chrome lip, black chrome spokes BBS LM rims. The rims and the gray paint were the only things not questionable on the car.
