Dont like the rims on the first two, but that z31 is so nice. I've seen it around the internet.

Here's the front:

Best "modification" for the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo ever.

What's modified about this? The wing?

FTFY.

I love those, but those look stock.

Well, the GTR is on Watanabes :0

I cant tell if thats true or not my computer monitor cant make it out.

Sometimes all a car needs is a good set of wheels and clean paint.

The wing without endplates which would negate any point of having it there in the first place?

You don't need endplates on a wing, they just increase the efficiency.

You don't need endplates on a wing, they just increase the efficiency.

A wing in that design where the main plane increases in rake angle at either end is really meant to channel as much air towards each endplate. It's be fine if the main plane was flatter in profile, but that would most likely just cause a mess.

You don't want air to go to the endplate, it's just there to stop the air from spilling over.
Endplate is just there to increase downforce and reduce drag (ratio) , you don't design a wing to try and create wingtip vortices.

And what may efficiency mean to you with downforce? Clearly you guys don't know what you're talking about.

Endplates are used for stability, also as an anti-stall if you approach a too-wide angle, and the air will push the back of the car into position again (in other words you can get crazy angles without spinning out like in D1 or Formula Drift), they're very effective if you want to decrease oversteer and have better stability at the higher speeds.

Not having endplates is usually better for cars which want to oversteer more, less stable for higher speeds as it does not stabilize the airflow, yes it does have the downforce (not as much compared to endplates), but air from any direction apart from backwards of course can run along the wing, but with the endplates the air is directed in a liniar flow.

It's a stock wing on a stock R32. Other than the Watanabes on the older Skyline, they're both stock.

So in short, what @Bopop4 already said. Got it.

They aren't arguing about the wing on the R32

No, that's not what it's for at all.
Endplates are to stop air spilling over the side of the wing like I had said in the same post.


It's laughable to say that the endplates are used to create a weathercocking effect on the car.

"Wahh it's too low."
"Wahh it's stanced."
"Wahh it has stickers."
"Wahh it looks stock."
"Wahh it's an American car."
"Wahh it's a racecar."
"Wahh it's not a racecar."
etc, etc.

Christ people, can you just accept the car for what it is? Clearly someone thought the modifications to it would look good or be purposeful, we don't need your continual b***hing about how you think your opinion on how a car should look is high and mightier than someone else's. If you don't like it, well then OK, you don't like it. But perhaps you should try contributing to what you do like, in a purposeful matter, instead of shaming others for having personal taste. This is thread about car pictures, not world ethics. Dunno, just a thought, especially after the recent s**tstorm that went down a few pages earlier. Or I look like an absolute tool.

Anyways,

 

[MedigoFlame]

I'll be honest, I really don't like the stock wheels on the F-Type R.

But...HRE's.

Both look wonderful.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

BTW this is the Datsun I mentioned in the So, how was your day thread. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get it

I like this one better

 

[LivingWithGames]

Get rid of the stickers and I'm driving this thing. Holy moly.

And this.

And this sexy thing

And oh my God I dare link this. I just found this and might put into imports too. Bloody hell, this bodykit looks mean as heck.

Okay, shout at me all you want, but I hella sure this is tasteful. Okay, looks tiny bit questionable but the way this guy did..whoever that is...

I'm in love. The mods are perfect. God bless him.

And post done.

EDIT!

This is thread about car pictures, not world ethics.

It's a forum. People will express their own opinions on any vehicle posted within a 'Tasteful Modifications' if they think it isn't 'tasteful'. There are a multitude of other picture threads where anything goes pretty much.
