Tasteful Modifications Thread

[R5]

I thought it was tasteful enough, looked fantastic to me, and hsv seemed to approve of it as well. 2-1 at the moment, if more people go against it then I'll remove it.

Most of the stuff posted here is ridiculous, and nobody bats an eyelid so I wouldn't really class that as a great barometer for taste.

Case in point:

I was in doubt with the first Chaser, I'm sorry.

Perhaps this will make up for le mistake, you guys won't believe this.

Of all 2CV'S, THIS IS IMPRESSIVE LOOKING.

Yes, you guys are seeing this right. I want this so badly.

And this one too.

I'd say in the last 10 pages there have been about 3/4 iffy-ish ones posted.

And it's from @LivingWithGames... he's still learning the ways. He's getting there. 👍

There have been some odd ones mind.

As an example of people not batting an eyelid to bad mods, as that is a good example. Regardless of poster.

This should put it to bed...

The Pantera Looks great, very Japanese style and very tasteful, just look at the details of the front bumper. And being from japan, i wouldnt be surprised if it runs 1:01 around tsukuba, with that "stance". It is obviously build with track duty in mind.

The only problem with it : no pictures from the rear

Mainly because it's only once in awhile.

Do you like anything that's posted in this thread? All I ever see you posting is how much you dislike whatever other's share.

It's not good to be that guy.

Not referencing that it's not good to be @TexRex, I mean it as someone who dislikes mostly everything.

Chopped roofs look nice.

Not really once in a while. I'm just not trawling through 74 pages to give every example of nobody batting an eyelid for garbage.

And I do like things, just not the same as you. If I see something I like I will let you know, if you like.

Tasteful is a subjective thing, and unless something is outrageously unattractive so it's the general consensus then it's normally just swell.

No no, it's fine, I would like more than one example that isn't from LivingWithGames, though.

Alright then.

Could use a little bit more fender in the rear though.

a Boxster(!) Made to look like a GT3 RS...

I'm imagining a scenario for this car, pretty much as I do with every car I see in this thread. I can see this car driven by a guy sitting outside my local mcdonalds revving it while playing some looped 3 second sample "house" track and referring to everyone as "mate". Not an appealing thought...

Well i like this one because it is... weird

Do I need to explain...?

A lot of you might not like these, but I like 'em.

The BMWs caused the most reaction. Like "What idiot would do that to them?" Plus there's the S2K.

This?

Functional and tasteful are not the same thing.

It's finally here.

An iconic livery on a car with no link to it... and no the F1 doesn't count.

I've picked a few from a few pages and neglected simple wheelswaps, and... yeah...

 

[SVX]

Interesting rocker cover there.

Yeah!

Maybe the only thing i would have changed.

Should try reading your own posts.

Alright, so...

That is very very much the opposite of tasteful.

I like it, but it's nowhere near tasteful.

Porsche Boxter [FAKE]GT3 RS[/FAKE]. Doesn't sound very tasteful to me.

Mental image of concept not shown in all countries, invalid argument whether it's tasteful or not...

...

Do I need to explain...?

How you missed these responses? Yes.

You're going to get mobbed.

@MonGnoM reminds me of when @LivingWithGames would post all his ricermobiles.

It's not tasteful IMO

...

Even indepth.

That entire post is about as far from tasteful as it's possible to get

The grey BMW 4er is OK, but those wheels don't really suit the car.

The others are gash of the highest order... too low, stretched tyres, stupid amounts of camber... that blue 3er coupe is particularly hateful.

...

This?

@Custom878 summed it up well.

Functional and tasteful are not the same thing.

@The Stig Farmer bet you to it.

...

No.

Please, tell me more about how 'no one bats an eyelid'?

 

[Nuschel01]

That woody-style looks funny But the car is not that cool imo, too overtuned

KE70 in peach?


Show some love for Miatas






Or what about some Nissans?

@Nuschel01 grasped the concept of this thread well. Take note @legacyMACHINE...

I thought some people might not like it, maybe it's too wide. But i have a weak spot for that car.

Nice set, btw! The blue miata is perfect!

 

[Nuschel01]

Thanks, it's indeed quite awesome 👍

Anyway, I'm finding myself considering this as tasteful:

 

[LeoStrop]

The wheels are a bit too shiny, but i like the rest:

 

[R5]

Okay, I think nows the time I clear the air with you @SVX because I've realised that actually I was a huge idiot. And for that I apologise.

I know we both can't be bothered going at each other over something subjective, especially when I was being so damn pig headed about it.

Taste is subjective, an opinion, and opinions aren't facts. So we'll call it a truce and ill go back to lurking here. Maybe posting stuff I like.

Sorry to all involved or who were annoyed by it and on with the questionab- sorry, tasteful modification thread.

 

[LivingWithGames]

I blame myself with some of that though. My tastes in cars are decent, as I managed to post some cars that are indeed questionable, some of them in the past.

Perhaps this will sort of reset. Another Civic hatchback, and a good one at that.

If this isn't tasteful at all, I'll give up in this thread for good.

 

[R5]

I blame myself with some of that though.

Dont. It was my fault.

 

[Nuschel01]

I'd rather choose this Civic

Here are some more shots​

 

[LivingWithGames]

@legacyMACHINE If yous ay so, you got it. Even though times in the past, I wasn't proud of myself, never will be. Sure I shared some great cars but my mistakes won't be ever forgotten. And I'm paying my price.

Let me try another, just found this.

The color looks matte which is not so fitting for an NSX but Jesus H. Christ, how could you say no with the combination of the height of the car, the great wheel and perhaps mods? Okay, okay, maybe rise the car just a tiny bit, and it's perfect.

 

[Legro]

 

[Nuschel01]

Yeah, it's too low and personally I don't like the wing which doesn't flow with the rear panel. But the combination of rims and car colour is nice 👍

 

[LivingWithGames]

Okay, I was trying to find another different car, which would measn bad news but this got my interest. I heard this is probably a Mugenized Fit. And known I linked a MUGEN kit CR-X, this might be good, for some of you.

I just wish there was more nice Honda Fit's like this one. Looks a lot better.

 

[Nuschel01]

The Fit is a fun little car, especially the Spoon

That is a definite guilty pleasure of mine.

So is mine, and I first saw it in GT4, which is no surprise.
