Tasteful Modifications Thread

He has his winter wheels on. I think he has a set of BBS wheels for the summer.

 

[ImaRobot]

Such mods
Many taste

Less salt, more pictures.

ALL THE SALT

There was salt? Point it out, I think I may have missed it.

Wrong thread?

 

[05XR8]

How so? it's not hideous or a hack job. It's tastefully done.

Plus, OP reads like this:

Post pictures of cars you think are tastefully modified.

Plus, OP reads like this:

No no I was genuinely curious. I used to keep both the Tasteful Mods and Questionable Mods open and would often mistake the two tabs for one another.

Was wondering if this was a similar situation.

Just cause it says that doesn't make it an end all stop for debate on these images. People I guess just want to avoid debate...

To me it look like it's two steps shy from a donk. And the owner is just waiting for his left kit to come any day now.

The fact it's a ute makes me think it would have been a better choice for the unique mods thread since it has a Camaro front clip.

I see. 👍

Jeez, how many of these threads are there?

I have no idea...and really I think it's best I don't know. The main three in my world are this, unique mods and questionable mods.

 

[05XR8]

Okay, just saw two more type threads towards the middle and bottom. One says it's a thread between Tasteful and Questionable. The other mentions "eyesore". Good stuff.

Yeah, that's just about as far as I'm searching.

don't quote me on that.

I like this car more than I should

The body lines are a complete mess. Nothing looks like it belongs there.

It's just a front clip. Holden utes look like that from the windscreen back.

I am aware of that. That's why the body lines don't work with the Camaro front.

Looks better without the Twinings logo, but I still love everything about it.

A modern custom tasteful interior and a V8 swap would complete it for me. Maybe de-badge it too.

What lines might you be referring to? At least on my phone I can't really see anything you're talking about, in fact the lines are actually a solid improvement of the original.

 

[Neddo]

far more tasteful without big spoiler

 

[05XR8]

Looks matched up to me. Paint lines and even the lower bumper to the side skirts work.
Here's another angle

These however:

 

[ImaRobot]

I think the front opening that the Camaro has from light to light is just too large and throws off the vehicle styling completely. It doesn't match up well for me.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Camaro UTE's -> No go. None are tasteful.

I'd post on the Odd modified threads or questionable but I decided to find one I'd think is tasteful and boy, wasn't easy. A beemer at it too.

A damned '71 1600 ute converstion with a nice M20 engine, here.

I might put it later on the odd modified thread, but at least admit it, not many cars that be many into proper ute's. This is one of the few, and the color choice is just the icing on the cake. I'd love to have it, if I had the money. If you compare to many UTE modified cars, this is one of the very few reasonable ones out there.

EDIT: Got a few delicious bonus cars here, such as this Singer here...Malibu. HNG.

And Norway.

And more.

 

[05XR8]

3-series wagon is always classy. The 2002 ute is just a perfect way to ruin a classic. Not even BBS splits can help it(nice color though).

 

[Doog]

EXCELLENT COLOR

also how about those lowered trucks...

 

[LivingWithGames]

Wheels could have been a lot better, but I'd allow it.

I got a slammed Tacoma here, nothing too serious, just new shoes is all.

It surprisingly works, even with those wheels. I'd get ofcourse the two stickers off from the windshield but other than that, I'd take it.
