Roush Stage 3 for 2010-2012 Mustangs

Designed to push every component. Hardcore.
 
Alright then.

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...

Do I need to explain...?

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

This?


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...
What this?
 
I've been busy. And this time I found a beauty, worthy of redeeming myself and my retarded moments I had. A Marcos, but not just any Marcos.

This one.

What a beauty, eh? Here's the source of this car. http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/02/long-low-dangerous-to-know-the-mantula-mantra/
What a beaut.

Something I want to point out though. The fact that you think you need to "redeem" yourself in any way, shape, or form is what I find questionable. Stop seeking approval and just be yourself. More often then not your posts in this thread start out with "well I'm not sure if this is good or not, I might like it, or I might not. Something might be questionable, I hope I'm doing this right." Just post it if its good, dont put a story about how you're already anticipating someone not liking it, or even making it seem like your not even sure if you like it.

If I would of heard these words before, I could of avoided being like that but oh well. Your words are quite true so, I admit I've been a bit of an odd guy myself so, this will have to change.

Everyone has a different definition of the "right" look for their cars, but it's the motivation, passion, and determination behind the journey of a build that StanceWorks celebrates in these articles. Greg Strube's goal was to preserve the lines and character and lines of the car he had fallen in love with while adding his own subtle touches throughout the car to take it to the next level. Hours were put in searching for just the right part while sweat was poured into combing over the details of the engine swap all to ensure that the car rolled out of the garage looking as if it were rolling off the BMW Showroom. Here at StanceWorks, we respect the amount of planning and time that goes into achieving such a result. To us, Greg Strube's BMW E30 M3 is a tastefully modified project executed with the care and finesse of an artist. We applaud his work.

It looks like something you'd see out of some sort of generic parts catalog.

I think the car was from an episode of pimp my ride.

@Slash I liked your post for the Hotchkis Challenger that's been around for a while.

Alright I'm done :lol:

I like it but I wouldn't call VeilSide anything tasteful, I mean I have my favorites from them but outrageous =/= tasteful. Still cool

That E30 is gorgeous, pretty much like all others. Becoming hard to even consider them as an affordable dream car anymore.
 
I would probably do this to my RX-7 if I get one... or come up with a better rear end.

Rear end on those have always been the issue it's like those guys in the questionable thread that use that grey bondo clay crap to modify their cars (cause they cant afford an aero kit...a good aero kit) and it comes out looking strange. That's the impression I get with VS, but just a finished detail in the end and obviously money and effort put into it. But still a cheap look all the same.

EDIT

Fiberglass before it's painted is what I meant...though I don't think the people in the questionable mod are using it all the time....
