My cars new body kit....

[Manicsubsidal]

As i hope to get a nice paying job in the very near future i plan to mod my car, although little things have been done this is its first big mod.

It won't be in yellow but red, as its the current colour of the car, oh and some 6x9's, sub and an amp will be fitted accordingly.

Heres a picture of the kit i'm getting:

[Oswald]

good god that's ugly.

[booger]

Why is there an intake on the roof? Aren't those supposed to go on the hood?

[AutoSear]

2 Slow 2 Hideous

[Manicsubsidal]

not sure really, there is one on the hood aswell so it may just be for show and i don't think it comes with the kit

[Egg]

See, I know this is a joke. It's just gotta be a joke.

God please let this be a joke.

[booger]

Why would you put an intake on the roof for show, or do any of that stuff to a car for show? That money could be used to really help the performance of the engine. Hell, you could probably get your engine bored out a bit for the kind of money it would take to do all that body work.

[Manicsubsidal]

i would do the engine but my insurance would rise way more than i would like, this type of mod is cheaper in the insurance in the long run

[EpShot]

what abuot a custom paint job? somethign interesting.. i'm sorry, but along with everyoen else.. i loath most all body kits.

how about a really nice sound system

[Sledge]

Dear god, no.

[booger]

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Be warned, a loud stereo WILL piss people off. People will key your car, let the air out of your tires and any number of other things if you blast your stereo.

Edit: I agree with EpShot here. Something unique like a custom paint job would be much more impressive, imnsho. Still, it's your car and my opinion might not be the same as the people you actually deal with on a daily basis. Just so you know, a signifigant percentage of the population laughs their asses off when they see a ricer. People respect substance in the long run, not style.

[Manicsubsidal]

just part of owning a car i guess, need to fit an alarm once i get that fitted too

Epshot: i already have a cd player fitted and i plan to fit a nice system before or after i get the kit fitted

[booger]

I own a car. It isn't modded and it has the factory stereo system. My car has never been keyed or violated in any way. I don't even have an alarm system.

[Rodzilla]

2 Ghey 2 Lame

[AutoSear]

Don't waste your money on an alarm (or on the kit for that matter). No one pays any attention to car alarms anymore. In fact, I despise the damn things so much, I would probably smile if I saw someone jacking a car with an alarm going off. An NRA sticker on your window is more effective, and much cheaper :P

[Egg]

Come on people. This has to be a joke. He's joking.

[Tessai]

Rofl, with the shape of the back, the size of the pipes, and that wing... looks like you intend to fly your way out of rush-hour traffic?

Do some performance mods before you touch the body... putting a body kit on a stock car does have a name, 'rice'.

[Lazzarus]

Thats officially the ugliest thing I have EVER seen for a car. Please do not go with that thing if this is for real. Do engine like everyone else says. Nobody likes a "ricer."

EDIT: Now that I look at it, those muffler tips ar rediculous!!! Are those off a semi or something? MY GOD!!!

[McFuggin]

Man, you MUST have known better than to post that here.

[001]

Screw modding that damn Festiva, sell it and go get yourself a nice car and keep it stock (maybe add new wheels), you'll get more respect having something decent and near-stock than a piece of trash with a body kit...hell you know what, just keep the damn Festiva, but don't add that POS to it.

You wanna know how much my dad's stock 87 Porsche 944S cost? $4K. Yep, $4K for a freaking Porsche (not the most powerful thing in the world with V4 and 190hp but still...), if you dont mind driving a stick. And yeah, insurance, but you can still find plenty of nice cars (sedans) for about the worth of your Festiva + that god damn awful bloody pile of plastic shit.

I dont even have a car (yet, muwahah;) not sure what im' buying yet), but even I know I would find my ass on the ground driving around an ugly rice box like that.

Take the money you'd spend modding that god damn thing to make it look like a f**king transformer, and either keep it stock or buy something DECENT (and maybe add new wheels if you want)

[001]

http://cars.potn.com/product_info.php/cPath/2750_3030_3050/products_id/2100012

700 UK pounds? That's like...well over $1000 USD. **** that...

[LactosetheIntolerant]

oh god.
/me vomits


whatever you want to do with your car is ultimately up to you though. if you enjoy it, who cares what we think

[Oswald]

on the scale of ****ing ugly, that car with the bodykit ranks about:
"uglier than linda tripp."

[darkstar]

Oh no! Youre a ricer! I strongly adivse you against doing that. Just save your money towards a better car down the road. Wow. Thats one of the most ridicolous ive ever seen though.

[Kris Typher]

Excuse me while I puke :puke:

[nchw68]

That is freakin' oogly! That front fairing will scrape the pavement whenever you enter or leave your own or a business driveway. Did you mod the exhaust to sound real annoying like a chainsaw yet?

Usually when you see this kind of car on the road the driver is zippin' around and changing lanes abruptly without signal, likes they're in a race.

[001]

Usually when you see this kind of car on the road the driver is zippin' around and changing lanes abruptly without signal, likes they're in a race.Yep, because that's the only place they'll ever win-- when the other cars aren't racing them :P

[Shuriken]

Do the interior, the outside will just get keyed.







Especially if it looks like that.

[Joben]

Man, you MUST have known better than to post that here.

lol yeh

hating cars like that goes beyond being the general opinion, its like a main doctrine in the forum 'religion' I bet LD has it in the rules someplace. ;)

[nchw68]

Is that supposed to get you laid or sump'n? I don't see how.

[Joben]

Do the interior, the outside will just get keyed.

Especially if it looks like that.

brother of one of my buds has a car sorta in this style.
someone shot it up with a pellet gun a few weeks back o_O

(heh my bud has a beautiful camero which he basicaly built himself from the frame up, now THAT is elite.)

[001]

HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

A pellet gun, OMG, I don't even think I would do that, it would be a disgrace to the pellet gun! :D :D :D

[strossos]

It looks like some kind of Hot Wheels reject car.

[Parasite]

OMG Thats my lil bro's car....Sheesh and I thought it's little "tropical splash" pinstriping was ugly....

[Justnicole]

No comment!!! o_O

[Manicsubsidal]

I fully expected the reaction i'm getting, hence why i posted it:P

although i am considering a diffrent kit now but i think i'l leave posting it up here as everyone has had there fun now....


Also its no joke, i may do the engine up at a later date but for now i don't really care what people call me for just doing the body up, its my first car and i plan to do what i like with it.

And i don't race nor change lanes franticly with it as i don't bother with highways(motorways over here)

[nchw68]

Well, you're only 19. In a few years you'll probably look at this car and say "WTF?"

[Manicsubsidal]

19 in may actually and yea probaly will, so then i'l see it or strip it for parts then get a nicer and better car as suggested on here. But for now i'm having my fun.

[Dave the Insane]

This whole thread is too funny.

[Oswald]

Also its no joke, i may do the engine up at a later date but for now i don't really care what people call me for just doing the body up, its my first car and i plan to do what i like with it.
as many members have said, do what you want with your car, even if it means make it look like total ****ing shit and kill your chances of ever, ever getting laid.

we can't stop such a train-wreck, but we can warn the conductor.

[Archaeopteryx]

http://e.1asphost.com/magyver/127post-2-1055557652-med.jpg

I laughed my face off at some of the replies :-D

In other words.. (I think it doesnt apply to you Manicsubsidal) but why does any one with a trendy sticker or a blue led on their car instantly think it adds like 324793748239 HP to the car and they drive around in their stock Chevy Cavalier and try to race every one....

And here is another spoiler...

ALL MUSTANG OWNERS : Your car is NOT fast. If fact your car is quite crappy.

[LeChuck]

Your car must really suck if Blade thinks it's ugly.

[Oswald]

Your car must really suck if Blade thinks it's ugly.http://www.fluidmist.com/images/oswald/misc/50_cent.jpg

[OldFighter]

Guys you are being to hard on him.

That car just might get him layed. Look at it this way, the girls see the car, figure he either has no taste or very bad eyesight. The ugly girls will be fighting to get close to him thinking that they just might get layed.

Sorry Manicsubsidal, I could not resist. :)

[Dave the Insane]

Os is never gonna let this go now, just to let you know :D

[EpShot]

at least get a different kit.. serisouly.. thats pretty ugly. even uglier than new mustangs... and the extra weight, on top of bad distribution of weight could brign you perfoarmce around one as well

[Manicsubsidal]

at least get a different kit.. serisouly.. thats pretty ugly. even uglier than new mustangs... and the extra weight, on top of bad distribution of weight could brign you perfoarmce around one as well

here was my other idea, this being £100 cheaper than the other one

http://cars.potn.com/images/imcarltonfiestamk3delta1.jpg

[EpShot]

i hate spoilers... but.. it is a LOT better

[LactosetheIntolerant]

i suggest making your own panelling with plywood. a nice cardboard spoiler.. ohhhhh yeah.

[Archaeopteryx]

Much better.... but I would lose the shopping cart spoiler..

[Sledge]

Dear god, no.

Again.

[Shuriken]

That new one looks like a gimped minivan.







Really, that skirt will be chipped and scratched all to hell just pulling out of the body shop.

[EpShot]

certainly coudlnt' drvie around in la.. i've scratched the bumpers on me stock '90 corolla (o yea.. i be pimpin! :P)

[Oswald]

here was my other idea, this being £100 cheaper than the other one

100 pounds less and still just as ****ing ugly!

what a deal, baby!

[strossos]

Damn that spoiler really keeps your traction up to the max during all those high speed races! :rolleyes:

[Manicsubsidal]

who says i race it, the engine i have fitted couldn't race a guy on a bike

[Shuriken]

so why is there a spoiler?

[Oswald]

so why is there a spoiler?to make the car (apparently) look like it hauls ass when in reality, it sucks ass.

at the end of the day, the car is still a pile of shit. no amount of extra crap can make up for the fact that it's a pile of shit. take 001's advice and get rid of it and upgrade to real car (even a geo metro would qualify as an upgrade.)

[Shuriken]

Also, if you're going for a 'get laid' car, why not make the outside just look normal, but the inside uber-comfortable.

Think...

[Knife After Dark]

that 1 is quite better, but u need the exhausts from the yellow 1!!! u NEEED THEM


also u should design ur own spoiler or somefin, i heard u can do that now adays

[Oswald]

Also, if you're going for a 'get laid' car, why not make the outside just look normal, but the inside uber-comfortable.

Think...no self respecting male or female would willing step inside his 'fiesta', much less **** in it. the only way he'd get either in his car would be if they were severely intoxicated or had absolutely no standards at all, in which case he'd be risking god-knows-how-many-diseases by banging 'mr. or mrs. town bicycle.'

[strossos]

Well, standards are as low as they come at the moment with the ghettorific ricer mobel plain. :P

[McFuggin]

Much better, manic. Well, sort of.

[001]

Festivas are grocery getters, that's ****ing it. They're not bad if you just need something to get you around semi-reliably, but it seems you want something "cool".

My advice is sell/give away the damn Festiva (while you can, since the body kit will make its max market value about $10), and you can probably find something if you look hard enough that will GET YOU COMPLIMENTS or at least something that does not look like a flaming pile of ass-fat.

Sorry bud but a car like that, while for some ****ed up reason you think it's cool now, I guarantee soon you'll be bored with it. It will get you keyed, laughed at, and will certainly not get you laid. I have a job at a food store, I was getting in carts and saw this guy in an Eclipse...who thinks he's all badass because he has a red Eclipse, with gray duct tape on his trunk, and a yellow vacuum cleaner body kit, a spoiler taller than my cock, and some engine mod that makes it sound like he's racing when he goes 20 through a freaking parking lot. Would have keyed the damn thing like I have before to stupid riced Civics/Accords/Stangs (yeah, major rice material here)/Eclipses/etc but he walked back just as I was about to. Lucky guy. :P

Sorry, I just think it's a POS, and you WILL be laughed at, even if you dont know it.

[Lazzarus]

Its still ugly no matter what, that car sucks in the first place.

Anyone ever heard of AMERICAN MUSCLE, Jesus, theres a real car. No need for a body kit because they already look cool stock. The engines stock are faster than a ricer will ever be able to obtain. And they are WAAAY cheaper.

Don't tell me about gas mileage and high insurance, who cares.

[001]

Gas mileage and high insurance are two pretty major issues with muscle cars...not to mention the interior usually sucks ass. But they are pretty awesome to have...:D

[nchw68]

I'm thinking about picking up a PII 330 Mhz for about a buck and putting in water cooling and some neon lighting inside and out. At least it'll LOOK fast, and that's what matters.

[Entroper]

I would really suggest doing yourself a favor before you spend money on something like that. Ask yourself this question: What are you getting out of it?

[MasterEvilAce]

Gas mileage and high insurance are two pretty major issues with muscle cars...not to mention the interior usually sucks ass. But they are pretty awesome to have...:D
that depends..
my dad's 1967 camaro got 16 MPG highway.. it's pretty much stock.. I'm sure it could get better, too. Insurance is less than 100$ a YEAR. Of course, it's under some 'Classic Car' insurance policy, or something. which has some limits as in how much it can be driven, and it has to be garage-kept or something. but that's fine

[Knife After Dark]

lol so u lot dont like modded cars much then do u?? or fiesta's???


wot uz think of Citreon Ax's

[McFuggin]

I'd hit it.

Oh wait, we're talking about cars here.... :rolleyes:

:D

[nchw68]

Cool little go-cart. First thing to do to that is upgrade the engine to a Briggs & Stratton.

[Knife After Dark]

lol i suppose the ax is like a go-kart, according to ma bro, who ones one it does handle like one!!

there you go well done *nchw68*

[Shuriken]

lol i suppose the ax is like a go-kart, according to ma bro, who ones one it does handle like one!!

there you go well done *nchw68*

What the hell did he just say?

[booger]

I'm not sure what he said either. As for the car, it looks like a golf cart with doors. Just because you put a pretty girl beside a car, doesn't make the car hot. Similarly, just because you put a scoop on the hood and a spoiler on the back, doesn't improve your car's performance. It just makes you look like a dork.

[Tox1c]

This car is the shit....literaly, it's smells it's so shity. Those civic hatchback type shit mobiles, owners who do that should be shot.

[ZEN]

:) car kits have been around for a long time heck I started out as a motor head in the the early 60's,if it had wheels and rumbled it was a canidate for a kit.
visers for windshields crome visers foe head lights,bullet bumpers,crome air and oil filters,dashboard kits hell it was all ther then so I can see the appeal.
Now concerning some of those kits.
I would rather carve a mold and spay gel coat to do my own custom work than buy a kit like the one in that pic,...that sucks warthog tit.

Besides I drive a truck,does the work I need it to do and that old 6 gets good tork and gas mileage:)except pulling uphill with a 2ton load,but it pulls smooth.
It aint fancey but it has turned a few heads,..even a thumbs up time to time.

[Manicsubsidal]

Over here i havent heard of anyone getting there cars key'd because of what they have done to it, usually they like it or just like to have a look.

[Justnicole]

i know this guy whos car got keyed prob cos it was dun up.....but he was a ****** and it was prob my best mate nic hehe go nic!

[xxzen]

manic don't listen to these punks, enjoy soupn' up your ride.......you'll have the best lookn fiesta on the block.....if you gotta group of friends who enjoy trickn out cheap rides, hell you could start a club, I say have fun, and disregard the naysayers......

[Manicsubsidal]

Down a public park near me loads of ricers and racers meet up to just show off there cars so i'l probably get involved with them later on. And my cus is doing pretty much the same thing with his car aswel.

[ZEN]

Heh...had to leave for a few and didnt get a chance to post the pic I was looking for.
:) Anyway If I wanted to kit my truck out I could get kit parts to do it she certainly has nice lines but wow does it cost money,guess its always been like that,come to think of back then I saw bettles with raceing stripes even long before that lovebug movie, as I recall it was dumb then too.:D

[darkstar]

ALL MUSTANG OWNERS : Your car is NOT fast. If fact your car is quite crappy.

Well, thats not exactly fair. Or true. Base v6 mustangs arent particuarly fast, but they are faster than the average car around thier pricerange (about 15000 after rebates and stuff). Mustang GTs or above all come with a fairly powerful v8 and can do 0-60 in under 6. The cobra (top of the line model) has a supercharged v8 and can do 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds. So some mustangs are very fast indeed. However there are plenty of people who drive a v6 mustang who think they have a really fast car, and they dont.

[MasterEvilAce]

****. The Cobra is supposed to compete with the Corvette.. I REALLY don't consider it a Mustang. I consider it a "Hey, let's not spend tons of money on a new car to compete with the corvette.. let's just make another MUSTANG.. and call it a COBRA.. . the name "MUSTANG" will sell ITSELF!!!! "


Heh.

[Tessai]

Around here, pretty much the only mustang drivers are:

Base model, either Teal, Red, or White: Young blonde girls
Mustang GT in blue or yellow: Hispanic guy
Mustang GT in silver: Blonde woman with mid-life crisis.

This applies to the current generation available at dealerships. Older mustangs differ. This also applies to about 75% of the mustangs I see on the road... but I have been wrong.

For example, a base model red mustang was driven by an older guy in a cowboy hat today, his son in the passenger seat.

[Icarus]

erm, the 2nd one is a big improvement.
just dont mention the first one anymore!

[Fluff Daddy]

hrmm, dont think have of you realise that in the UK and most of europe like everyone drives a compact hatchback due to parking problems, and due to cheaper insurance, tax and gas. specially if you are a student.

[Hkan]

err... bump of doom?
:food:

[dmgak]

Theres just 1 thing ive got to say about your yellow/red fiesta....
CHAV!!! :no: :no: :no:

[Archaeopteryx]

Chav is right.. And I dont even know what it means!

[dmgak]

Screw modding that damn Festiva, sell it and go get yourself a nice car and keep it stock (maybe add new wheels), you'll get more respect having something decent and near-stock than a piece of trash with a body kit...hell you know what, just keep the damn Festiva, but don't add that POS to it.

You wanna know how much my dad's stock 87 Porsche 944S cost? $4K. Yep, $4K for a freaking Porsche (not the most powerful thing in the world with V4 and 190hp but still...), if you dont mind driving a stick. And yeah, insurance, but you can still find plenty of nice cars (sedans) for about the worth of your Festiva + that god damn awful bloody pile of plastic shit.

I dont even have a car (yet, muwahah;) not sure what im' buying yet), but even I know I would find my ass on the ground driving around an ugly rice box like that.

Take the money you'd spend modding that god damn thing to make it look like a f**king transformer, and either keep it stock or buy something DECENT (and maybe add new wheels if you want)

When did your dad buy this porsche, 1970?

[Manicsubsidal]

I dont even have that anymore....

[Sledge]

Here's some new rims for your car :D :D :D

http://www.pbase.com/kuni/image/35342771

[Manicsubsidal]

Well thats diffrent....

[Shuriken]

So.

What kind of car should I get? I'll have it for two years, then I'm off to the Marines, a mission, more Marines, probably more Marines, hopefully some digging holes for BYU in the Mideast and South America, and then back to Salt Lake to find a hot gothic Mormon girl, so it isn't a lifetime investment or anything.

It needs to be cool.

And it can't have a spoiler.

And I have to be able to talk about it in woodshop.

And the inside has to be comfortable, since I'll probably be sleeping in it a lot.

Yeah, I had a jeep, but we had to get rid of it before I could even legally drive it. So many girls loved me, but none of them were hot gothic Mormons.

Seriously, help me.

[Shuriken]

I have stumped you, yes?

[MasterEvilAce]

Good job bumping a dead thread :/


most cars probably have spoilers, now.. so.. yeah.
The only cars without them would be like.. luxury cars, probably.. or something very crappy

Its a word I made up that is what you call someone who passes their driving license, wants a flash sports car, cant afford one, so gets a 15 year old vauxhall nova or peugeot 205 that is 1 m.o.t away from the scrapyard, adds alloy wheels, A BODY KIT, and an exhaust tail pipe that beats out a base note so low it causes an unscheduled bowel movement to everyone within 300 metres
