    I honestly hated all of the cars. They can all be beautiful cars, but they are so covered in BS that you can't even see the body lines of the cars and they just look like a 1st grader's sticker book.

    The car that you posted is a perfect example because the Exige is a beautiful car stock, but that is so busy that you can't appreciate its beauty.

    Meh, then have the car look good and put a dyno/performance sheet next to it.

    I don't buy something because I saw a sticker of it plastered all over some car, I buy it because it would make my car perform better.

    Decals for DAYS, but it's all about the advertising. Nice pics though.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    You mush know that those cars are in the aftermarket auto show, those sticker are representing something(advertisment, sponsorship, etc). If you don't want to see those stickers, you might just go to those new car shows.

    X2....I personally thought all the cars seemed boring, seem them thousands of times, and they all look the same.

    Man its TAS not Nopi all the cars there are from Big name tuner shops so there not slow by any means. When you see a car at TAS with big TOP SECRET stickers all over it do you thinck man they need a dyno sheet next to that so I know they make good parts. But I do get what your saying.

    I think we can chalk this up as another great reminder why this forum sucks.

    Let's start with the Lotus, it's the 2007 Gymkhana Championship vehicle. A race car....this isn't a show car. Never mind the fact that it's driven by a JGTC 300 champion Tetsuya Yamano but I doubt any of you know that is either.....or the fact that every car photographed participates in a professional Japanese motorsport.

    No need for a dyno sheet next to the Exige, it's stock. Gymkhana rules allow no engine modifications....just diff, tires, and clutch. I love you Tracy!
