As one who despised the headlights on the Z33 when it came out (I'm more apathetic now), I can appreciate the desire to change them. The forms rendered in the green version are much more pleasing visually than both stock and the purple car but the execution leaves much to be desired.

Note: I'm only referring to the shape of the headlights as they relate to the hood and other adjacent bodywork; the other modifications (color combination, wheel color alone, spatula at the bottom of the front bumper) would have been better off not made.

I think I found something that's questionable that deserves to be tasteful. Get your eyes ready gentlemen.

Trying to make a car look like something it isn't is a total waste.

There's merit when sheer exclusivity (be it cost of ownership or the lack of an available example) prohibits possession of a car, and a valiant effort is made to duplicate the car in question--there are some fine homebuilts out there, as well as quality component kits. That said, the thing that incited such a response is none of the above. (It still has the P O R S C H E in the rear bumper when it clearly isn't one, for crying out loud.)
 
I think it's beautiful, however, the PORSCHE lettering needs to disappear. You can't have two marks on a car. It doesn't look right.

Okay, I'm looking at this thing again, and now I see the Nissan Z part of it.

SO, There's:

A Maserati Granturismo front,
A Porsche 991 rear,
And a Nissan Z body...?
 
I saw a couple of these catastrophes a couple weeks back.

I'd be surprised if the last one hadn't been photoshopped. Actually, It might have turned out better had Photoshop been used--MS Paint?

Then those are some crazy-a MSP skills.
 
Well, there is something suspect with that nose :lol:
 
The "bed" appears to get deeper as it moves back or, the more likely scenario, it was copy/pasted.
 
I thought you meant the one in the link, I think the other is real, and here is one more of them :D

Tacky? Yep.
tasteless? Of course.
terrible fashion sense? That's all 3.

Yup, it's double F1 world drivers champion Lewis Hamilton looking like an extra from a Michael Jackson video. I guess it works though

Can I just say that that Mustang is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen?

As long as you accept that others don't agree with you. :p

Totally doable 👍 And I am prepared to respectfully disagree with said others to my heart's content.

Much more believable than the white example, and there are obvious differences in the modification--be it real or digital.

Note: I didn't realize the lower link was any different than the one above.
 
It looks like a common modification they use for hearses, that one is from Argentina. And now, all the funny is sucked out of it anyway.
 
I always liked the eyelids that 350Z owners put on their cars, because the nicer sets (like on the green car) hide what I always thought was a real compromise in the design of the stock front end.
