Tasteful Modifications Thread

How is it modified? Wheels and stickers ahead of those wheels?

 

[Sage Ages]

It has an aftermarket exhaust on it, but that's the only other thing I can spot.

I'm sorry if this isn't deemed as modified enough to be in this thread.

He didn't say anything about it not being worthy though?

I didn't even say it wasn't tasteful, though I don't consider any factory-built tuned variants I've seen to be tasteful and don't feel one could be tastefully modified unless it's modified to look more like the base model.

Okay, I implied that wheels and stickers aren't tasteful modifications because I don't think they are necessary (particularly in this car's case where most any non-factory wheel may actually cripple performance), and I consider tasteful modifications to be those that are functional and yet don't detract from aesthetics...to my eye. Let's be honest, this thread is all opinion.

The previous page would of been mighty fun for you as it was literally stacked with family saloons on air suspension and having obscenely big wheels which are close to scraping the fender.

The wheels are HRE Classic 300 which the material is made of aerospace aluminium so it wouldn't exactly cripple the performance as I presume these wheels are actually lighter than factory ones. I posted this car in this thread because you don't see many 991 GT3 RS being touched at all so it is a nice transition to see an owner changing something on the exterior which makes it looks as good or even better than the factory one.

I'm aware, and indeed I didn't say...

I wouldn't really call that tasteful. It looks good, but not tasteful. More... raceful.

RS5 in Sepang Blue on some HRE S101s, lowered on some GMG lowering springs and a custom exhaust with cutouts by HMS.

Absolutely gorgeous.

So here's a car coming to SEMA:

Zero to 60 Designs Ford Mustang GTT (Or "Gran Turismo Tribute"). I think looks amazing, it almost looks like a car from the Factory (If Ford were that ballsy). I think it takes what is already a GT-ish Muscle car and just turns it into a full on Sports car. amazing for something that was done in only six weeks.

The tails kill it for me. Stock S550 tails would make this a pretty nice little fusion.

Yeah, I was sat here thinking what a masterful redesign the bodywork was and then, POW! Have some tail lights from a Panoz Esperante and it ruined it.

Gorgeous!

I wanted to be a Ford GT and this is the best I could do

Actually, that was intentional as they basically combined the styling cues of both cars.

I know...I read what you said and looked into it. It's a joke, other than the back end already bringing in the laughs alone that is.

Exactly as tasteful as you'd expect a car going to SEMA would be. More tasteful than that GT-R, I suppose...not that that's saying much.

Kinda don't understand the negative stigma about cars that are at SEMA. I mean sure there's some god awful stuff (That Baby blue Corvette comes to mind), but I fail to see how ALL of them are terrible. I see this all the time every time SEMA comes around.

Because SEMA isn't known for being tasteful quite the opposite. SEMA shows are first and foremost to push products and usually products that change your car in such a way people notice you, over time it's become and industry and more expensive (like what you posted). Cars built for SEMA display the utmost a company has to offer, and it's usually over the top to draw in a crowd and push said parts, this isn't tasteful at all. The car above skates along that example, and goes into the next part of what SEMA is, an art show of cars. Where even if you don't find them appealing you have to admit it is a bit of an art form to creatively change cars so radically from what they started as.

The last car I actually found decently tasteful from SEMA was Sung Kang's 240.
