Because his hat/cap or forehead is blending with the reflection of the side window
P.s:The crown Vic is bagged if that's going to make it any better

Never thought that it was a hat. Looks like hair.

Well no, because according to alot of people on this site, you cant have modifications on a car unless they are for racing and racing only. No cruisers allowed.

I have a bike rack on the back of my Acura.
And I don't say those modifications can't be made, just that I rarely find them tasteful (particularly when they negatively affect performance rather than simply not positively affect it).

This is what I saw

What if I said it was a performance airbag suspension for competitive cruising competitions ?
And there was a couple of mx6s for sale on eBay a couple weeks back

Oh I know, I was just poking fun

Color matched wheels are always tacky.

Renault 5 Turbo says hey

I beg to differ


(crappy shop but it actually is painted this way IRL)

 

[ImaRobot]

So much red

@Slash beg all you want

 

[R5]

So much red

When the colour is called "Grenade" this isn't a bad thing.

Colour matching wheels are a hard thing to pull off. I'd say the above three examples do it well.

You don't like it, huh.

Hey it came painted that way other than the wheels

Not a fan, seems way too Fast n Furious.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Body colored wheels were cool in the 80s. I wouldn't change them, AMG Pentas are rare.

I disagree. No Mitsubishis from FAF closely resembles this Lancer.

What. It's barely different from factory. It's quite subtle in comparison to FnF stuff.

.

Bad body kit, unfitting wheels, and why the hell is the hood black?

In comparison, yes. But still not tasteful.

 

[Sage Ages]

It's a lot better done than most people. I'll say that.

 

[Downhill Dino]

In comparison, yes. But still not tasteful.

And then the opinion card is pulled. Huge problem with these kinds of threads. My take on the Evo: Would I do it? No. Do I think the owner tastefully modified it. Yeah, could've been executed a little better though.

Might I add, if you take that car as being to Fast & Furious like, that makes just about every modified Evo 8/9 along those lines.

An even bigger problem is "HURR DURR THE BODY KIT IS BAD BUT IT'S ALL OPINION" because, let's face it, it's a pretty weak point when talking about general taste.

My take on the Evo: Would I do it? No.

Shouldn't this be a measure of taste. If you could modify a car like this, would you? If no, you have to think "Do I really find it tasteful?"

Yup. Point being?

What? I was only saying that because it's an issue that comes up often in this and the Questionable Mods thread. Wish things could be like those good ol' pinned topics.

The answer was no as I had said.

If no, you have to think "Do I really find it tasteful?"

That was the point... you're basically saying that every modified Evo is not tasteful. I call bias, your opinion is irrelevant to me.

Just chiming in here.

I find this highly tasteful (except the sticker with the website on the side, but whatever), but if I owned a '69 Z/28 Camaro, I would have it done way differently. There's just so many different types of modifications, that you can find many of them tasteful, but your favorite would be the one you'd put on your car.

So much negativity about this Lancer. Didn't see this coming.
