Makes one wonder whats under hood if it requires that much contact patch to deliver it..

Dual pipes make me think probably a 350.

And then there's good old Z what classy mods..

All I would add would be a ducktail spoiler and I'd be happy with it.

I dig the Mustang wheels on that.

Pretty sure they're older Enkeis.

I had never seen those side window louvers. Cool.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Overfenders on an Opel GT? Rad.

Look like Mustang II wheels to me

So what?



Also, these ones are painted though.

It'd be awkward when you try to refuel a parent...

I am so confused.

Because you'd think your parent was a Mustang

Not in the slightest.

Whats going on here? Even if they aren't, they still look like Mustang II wheels..

Hell if I know

 

[Cano]

They absolutely look like Mustang II wheels indeed. That type of design was pretty popular back then. Mocking @Slash over something he clearly know about is, you know, not good @legacyMACHINE

 

[Slash]

There is a couple variations of those wheels but yeah they were pretty big. That 240 pulls them off very well. My only gripe is that they are utterly tiny.

T'was a simple joke. A terrible one at that.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Correct thread this time. I can has..?

 

[7up747]

It's ok i guess... but i don't like the grills in rear fender and bumper even if it's functional, it reminds me old tuning times and looks cheap.

Rollpan bumpers almost never work.

Neither in terms of aesthetics nor practicality. I'm 99.997% sure there's no core behind the pan to absorb energy from an impact. Oh and it would look ten times better with wider front fenders to match the rears--but not a tenth as good as if it had neither.

I saw a rather clean turbo Buick swapped GT. One can hope.

Done right, it can look good like on a truck or something but it takes a lot of massaging to pull it off.

XJ Sport with some subtle aero pieces and wheels from Arden.

 

[TexRex]

Admittedly, the kit isn't horrible--I probably wouldn't have even noticed it without mention--but there's only one wheel I can appreciate on an older (that particular bodystyle) XJ...

Put those 'Arden' 5-spokes on an XJ8.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I like those, but I'm not 70 years old.

 

[Doog]

I feel like I could be alone on this, but I quite like how early LS430 wheels look on LS400s:

 

[McLaren]

I don't know if I'd call that a tasteful modification, though as I think the wheels could pass for either generation off the showroom as standard. Just my 2 cents since the styling differences weren't crazy different.
