    Odd, it *had* $3000 worth of JIC coilovers on it (I know, 'cause I paid and put those ****ers on). You can see how much lower it was in the original picture.

    You can see it here as well. I dunno what he did with them. Maybe they are still on, but he has the wrong size wheel/tires? I dunno.

    *notice the purple-ish springs? Those are JIC springs that are mated to the JIC struts*

    By the looks of the height of the ride they are probably still on there and he has them jacked up due to the work done to the ride... but who knows

    LOL @ people saying it looks good

    If you saw either that color or atrocious aerokit on anything else you'd think it was ugly as hell and don't even try to lie about it.

    Also, before the Eurof@gs get here, nobody here is talking about functionality. Which I'm sure is what you are going to go for first. Is it functional? Sure, but is it ugly as f*cking sin? DEFINITELY.

    "Man, that is ugly as f*ck! Oh wait, it's a Porsche? Nevermind, I like it now."

    Sorry, but that car is hideous. Baby sh*t green, a hideous body kit, and an ugly @ss spoiler do not add up to hawtness. His car looked better when he had it.

    I guess it's true that people with money like unique ugly sh*t.

    Check my post again Paul. I never said it wasn't functional. I'll respect it's performance all day long and even praise Porsche for their heritage.

    With that said, that car is f*cking nasty. The Enzo is equally as functional and equally as ugly too. I don't care if the car does 500MPH or if it was made by the Pope, ugly is ugly.

    The only Porsche that shall ever grace that color is the GT3 RS. Man I would love to have the car before it was looking Speed Racer.

    Go ahead. I'll bet dollars to donuts that more fanboys will be over the Porsche due to it's "uniqueness" no matter how hideous. My Mustang is stock aside from an exhaust so it's VERY run-of-the-mill and I actually like being kind of low-key. I never said my Mustang was a looker, but at least I didn't go out of my way to turn my car into an atrocity like that green blob posted above.

    It'd be alright if it lost the aerokit, wheels, painted interior, and Delta spoiler. Color-wise, the orange is better, but not by much.

    I don't care for the Green one at all! The orange one looks alright, but I don't like the whole interior painting thing! But besides that I'd drive it.... Maybe a different wheel choice too.

    RAN...you do this quite a bit. You say a supercar like a Gallardo and other Lambos are ugly but finish your sentence with to each his own.

    Personally, the way that car sits, makes it look terrible. But here is one that has a similar kit that i think looks good. I think factory 911s are perfect but i still think this car works. Am i a lier? No. I just like it. I'm not gonna diss what you drive but you are becoming one of the people on this site that seems to make an opinion and laughs at everyone that doesn't see it that way.



    911: Yes
    Funny Color: Yes
    Do i still like it even though it is a different idea: Yes.

    "People with money like unique ugly sh!t"

    If that's not an ignorant statement i don't know what is.

    RAN: you do realize people that are called upon to design supercars are the best designers in the world. They have an eye for styling that doesn't stop at automobiles. We always say styling is subjective but when you are comparing your views vs someone that has an art degree....its kinda hard to see it your way.

    There's really no point in arguing over whether or not you like the looks of a car. I think it works, you can't put a ridiculous kit on a civic because it doesn't fit right with the natural lines of the car. Cars like this can pull off stuff like this, but again, it all relates to personal taste.

    I like to laugh at what I deem ugly and I do, to an extent, find a quizzical humor with the people who like ugly things. Sorry if that offends you. I do try to keep the flaming content toned down outside of the WL and merely express my like/dislike for a particular vehicle.

    So what? They say Picasso was a genius. I think the majority of his work is sporatic and retarded. I've taken art appreciation classes and I still find these things ugly. I'd bet that if you saw an equally functional/ugly kit on a Civic that did 200mph you'd still laugh at it's atrocious design. You might respect it's numbers, but you'd still think it was ugly. I'm the same way. I'll respect the car's performance, but performance and a price tag don't make it an attractive car. Sorry, but European supercars have some of the ugliest designs I've ever seen. It's supposed to be a car, not the Starship Enterprise. lol

    P.S. - One doesn't need an art degree to recognize ugly designs.

    P.S.S. - I just looked over that red car. The color helps A LOT as do the better front bumper and wheels. Ditch the goofy rear spoiler and you're in business.

    P.S.S.S. - To each his own.

    The pics didn't do that car any justice. It's like the Takana Green, just bad picture. Plus, I think he had the car jacked up for the work.

    I think he's more offended at how open I am about my opinion. I don't sugarcoat it. I think the car is f*cking hideous so I say just that. That car is f*cking hideous. I honestly don't see why people like these cars and I really don't care who made it, who designed it, or where. I think there are just as many fanboys on here that are biased towards Japanese imports (Ricers) as there fanboys for domestics (mullet heads) and European imports (Eurof@gs). I respect EJ for being pretty cool about it, but that's no reason for me to squelch my opinion and I'd gladly debate such topics with him any day of the week. It's all personal opinion and, in the end, I realize that neither of us are going to change the other's opinions. I'll get a small laugh at people who like what I consider to be ugly crap and he has every right to laugh at me for being a narrow minded, unsophisticated what-have-you in return. It's the internet and thus it shall be used.

    No offense. We have a difference in opinion.

    It would be ridiculous on my part to ask "how many rich people have you meet" so i won't. I will say that i have meet one very rich man that owns some cars i think you would call ugly. Well, he doesn't and i don't. And as far as he's concerned, i'm sure he doesn't care if someone feels different. Unlike alot of other wealthy folks he doesn't brag or show of his cars.

    But Ran. "People with money like unique ugly sh!t"

    Your opinion/

    Can't comment too much on Picasso. Never studied his work. I have studied others in the renaissance . But that is off topic.

    Anyways. Picasso did it all for himself. These designers are hired by multi billion dollar corporations and the need for these to succeed is incredible.

    Many artist fail and go no where because no one appreciates their work. On the other hand, a very small few get approval.

    Just look at Luc Donckerwolke. He designed the Murciélago and the Gallardo. When he came to Lambo, they were struggling to sell 1000 cars a year. Now, they are one of the most profitable cars in all of V.W. group. They are "likely" to introduce a 4 door at Paris in 2 weeks.

    Here's what i'm trying to say......You don't sell 5,000 Gallardos in 5 years for no reason. When you are at the price point, surprisingly, you have a good bit of options. And yet, people still buy the Lambo. Ran, there are quite a few people that disagree with you.

    And saying they are dumb because they are rich is just facetious.

    Ran: Let me give you something i was exposed to first hand when i visited the Lamborghini factory. You can take it as you like.

    Lamborghini owners traditionally dislike Ferraris.
    And when we walked by a red Lamborghini (as rare as one is) you look at it funny.

    It still doesn't look bad but i never really liked green on any car but to each his own....I liked the way ruiner had it before...black on black can never go wrong....
