Questionable modifications: pictures inside (dial up warning!!)

Great, another 7th gen Civic coupe that looks like garbage. Add another one to the list of making owners of my car look bad.

Congrats to toyomatt, for posting the 3,800th post in this thread!

Agreed! and that IS an ugly car...especially those overweight steamrollers surrounded by 1/2" rubberbands.

its a common trait with civic owners, mad thoughts about making it look crap

I bet he didn't even do anything to the pathetic D17 it came with. Go 127hp! Oh, and standard bolt-ons don't bring much for the hp range. An intake, header, and exhaust setup (regardless of company) will yield, at best, 5-10whp. The D17 is the red-headed stepchild of the D-series.

Looks like a 5th gen to me, judging from the dash and roofline...

Doesn't stop it from being horrendous, though.

You're right PR, it is a 5th gen. I took a closer look, and those tails are a little bit different than the "Ricer Specials" that they offer for my car. It still makes Honda look bad, though.

those taillights almost look like they were ripped off a legitimate Altezza.

tell me they weren't.

Those are Altezza tail lights. Sorry.
And the yellow/chameleon/purple Opel, paint it black, unpaint the wheels and I'd be all over it like a rash. Unless the kit is retarded-er than it looks.


And...umm...here we have the reason behind Autometers (that's them who make the gauges) amazing profit margins this quarter. And Hella and a generic muffler manufacturing company, come to think of it.

that's a HILARIOUS Volvo.

Haha, I just noticed that it's fuel injected AND has 3 weber's. Awesome!

I've seen that Manta somehwere,it's actually not ugly.

a fitting end for any ricer car...

I don't see how someone modifying a WRX deserves to have his engine blow up on him.

Perhaps you could explain a little about just what makes this a "questionable" modification.

You might be on to something with that.

I can't remember what that model is called, but it's very, very rare. So basicaly they've ruined a rare car.

Edit: It's a Volvo 164 obviously.

Some of the pics posted by toyomatt belong in the funny pic thread... and on some of the cars I didn't see anything questionable about them. Most of them are hideous though.

Toyomatt's pictures are just red x's to me.

I don't even see those!

All i get is a big long page which is blank. There is however, a link to this halfway down...





*edit*

Damn, that doesn't work either now.

I want it BAD!
