Come on guys! - that hatch/integ and that rolls/z look like GARBAGE. Sure some people have different taste but honestly - wtf were they thinking investing that much money to look that cheesey.

I can understand if you like the integ front - i like the type r's personally, but with that aftermarket bumper? that's just pure garbage. The style is dated and the lines don't flow for ****

The z...i mean....come on....a rollz? Sure it might be a clean conversion but if he wanted a fast luxury sports car, the z is your first wrong decision. Pulling a rollz front conversion with retarded wheels should be his last

/rant

ok i feel better now

I'm with Atilla, it looks like the kit is pretty clean, but it still looks like crap. I think there should be some sort of law regarding exactly how much more expensive of a vehicle you're allowed to try to knock off. I mean, what's next, someone trying to make an Aston MaRX8?!

The biggest problem with that bimmer is just the wheels. Outside of them it would only be mildly silly I think. I mean, kind of a waste of a sweet car, but not absoludicrous.

Some of these are obviously a joke but some obviously are not and that is just sad. The owner of that Maxima needs to come to my office for a psyc eval pronto.

I passed it way too fast to pull out my camera (it was on a side street), but I saw a combination that made me bust out laughing.

It was a Chrysler 300c originally, it was up on at least 24" solid chrome rims with a lift kit on it (maybe 3 inch lift? hard to tell with the rim choice), a 2 tone paint job with white on the top half, black on the bottom, with a 2 inch wide checkered-flag 'pin stripe' down the sides separating the two colors.

We have seen those before, nothing special.

However, this one had 4 fat dudes....( the lightest was probably ~300lbs) in it, making it list like the drunken cargo ship, and sticking at least 3 feet out of the open moonroof, at an angle suggesting that the base was resting where a typical shifter is (don't know if the 300c is column shifted or not), was a GIGANTIC red, brass, and chrome trophy. The thing was easily 7 feet tall, possibly more depending on how low the floor/console gets there.



I pulled over to catch my breath, and hoping it came out to the road and turned my way so I could get a picture, but it didn't. Even did web searching to see if I could find a picture of it and the trophy, but no-go.

drag is fixed by the vents he taped to the sides and rear bumper.
