I like that red one. Looks nice (well, I don't know what's going on in the rear). But, yeah. They're all kind of ugly.

I fear those Cabrios so much. I bet that lady in the seat doesn't shave... ANYTHING.

 

That car is nice. someone took alot of skill to do that.

Dont hate man.

and I beg to differ. Not all VW's are crap. I rank them right up three with Honda's. they are 2nd onmy list. I have a friend that is deeep into VW's and they can turn some HP.


Don't knock it just because its not your taste.


It's all good man. :thumbup:

 

So I shouldn't hate people that plan out murders because they spent a lot of time on it? But I can't express how I don't like somebody's car because they spent a lot of time on making it TACKY?

 

worst analogy ever.


Fixing up a car is an art. Not everyone likes all kinds of art. but its still a skill.



DONT HATE.

 

Skill in craftsmanship does not indicate a pleasing aesthetic or functional improvement. I've actually said the same basic thing you're saying to people hating on riced-out Honda showcars. The difference is that I say,

"Even though the thing is really fucking ugly, someone at least worked hard on it. But it's still ugly."
Every VW I've ever driven (and that's a whole lot of em) has been nowhere near as good as other cars in its segment, Honda or not. They have universally crappy shifters, front-heavy weight balance, horrible pedal layouts, etc. There's something admittedly cool about VWs but every time I drive one I come away monumentally disappointed.

Hell my dad has a TT Roadster and even though I have fun driving the thing when I visit my folks I still think he should have saved 6 grand and bought an S2000. Not because it's a Honda over a VW, but because it drives way better.

ANY car can make plenty of power. That still doesn't mean it drives nice. A 600 hp Golf is still a Golf.
If this is a pure trailer queen show car then I can understand it. But to me it sure looks like a car that someone drives around on a regular basis. I have no problem with making a car look better (which is of course subjective), but not at the expense of how it drives.

Example: to me the purpose of a rim is to hold a tire, not weigh so much, and possibly look good in the process. I'm willing to spend some more money on a good looking rim. But my primary focus is that it's the right size for the tire I'm trying to run and that it is light weight. Buying a 17x10" rim because it's got a fat lip and then stretching a 235/45-17 tire over it messes up the tire's ability to stick to the road, and weighs more than a properly sized 17x8" rim.

Style is fine but not at the expense of making the car drive worse than when it was stock.

 

IT'S JDM YO!!!

 

So if a car is done for show only then its ok. but if they drive it its rice??????

 

:wavey::thumbup:

 

:werd:

 

yeah its for show. but i think i read somewhere that sometimes it "helps" with the oversteering..
i mean i saw MP5 with the rear sliding out while turning. so anything's possible i guess
