Its obviously a rendered graphic, but still, what is it? Looks to me like those asian characters homies wear even though they dont know what they are.

Wow! I've got to order one right now!! I can't wait another moment without one!!!!!
Who the hell buys all this crap for their rice mobiles?
I suppose it's like when I play Need For Speed Underground 2 with my son on the PS2...He spends ages doing up the car with graphics, huge pipe ends, body kits, enormous wheels, spinner hubcaps, roof scoops, hood scoops, rear scoops, dog shit scoops, everything.
I meanwhile spend time on the suspension and lightening it and getting it to go harder but I don't worry too much about the bodywork, apart from a nice paint color...the stocker-looking the better to surprise everyone with...hehehe...(have you heard the old speedway bomber-drivers example of how to lighten a car? "If you throw a part up and it comes back down, it's too heavy...get rid of it.")
Lots of these guys also can't seem to understand it when you only make modifications to your car that are actually useful...my wifes little 1973 KE20 Corolla coupe has very few external mods...it has good quality bonnet catches, not to look tough, but because the standard bonnet catch is a bit iffy and the bonnet almost flew up one night after popping loose, and that's about it, despite some younger guys telling my son when he drives it that he should whack scoops and spoilers and flares on it...
Inside is functional as well...a tacho, an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and ampmeter (strangely not mounted out on the bonnet...), and a sports wheel (which is an ancient 1980-model leather semi-deep-dish SAAS 13" wheel which cost me $39.95 on special at the time, which also interestingly enough has been recovered three times and fitted to seven of our cars over the years, as well as being sold a one point to a mate who had it on three cars, now we have bought it back and it lives in the Corolla...it's a bit of a family hierloom now...) . That's it. Oh, it has Gemini bucket seats. Wow. No neons, no thumping stereo, just a simple single-disc CD player and four six inch speakers.
Under the hood it has a modded 1200cc original engine, with extractors and it really should have a bigger carby to feed it. It has an oil catch bottle, not to look fancy, but to stop the oil spitting out everywhere from the breather at high revs and making a mess. It's strictly old-school under there, but because the car is so light, it absolutely flies, but most importantly it doesn't look like it should because it has the original little 12" steel wheels and original chrome hubcaps....
Examples (although not a Holden,the wifes '73 KE20 Coupe) of me following my creed for car mods: Simple. Functional. Result-Producing
....erm....
....shooting myself in the foot a bit with this picture...not exactly "result-producing"...it only has a two-inch system, but a home-made three inch tip is a bit of a giggle on such a smallcar....
Riceboys would have a field day with it if they got hold of it.....
Our VS Belrina will be the same when the warrantee runs out and I can get my filthy hands all over it's mechanicals...hehehe.....standard looking but with a sting in the tail...just the way I like 'em...

....of course, the guy in this picture is probably even now oredering one from Ebay....
At least someone has a sense of humor and knows how to stick it to the ricerboys.......
Sorry wombat but i dissagree a little bout the mods.
If u saw two cars drive past, one looked absolutely stock and the other had say a clubby body kit, a set of nice 18"s and made a little bit of extra noise, which one would u be looking at? I certainly wouldn't think twice bout the stock one
Haha, i love that cardboard-kit. on one of my Car Dvds, theres a guy that has an old skyline with a full carboard-kit.. with spoilers,scoopes, mags and exhaust. it looked pretty good(at night). But all for a laugh i guess.

Nah, theres a limit as to how much you can do. Rice boys are rice boys simply because they have overdone it. e.g. The huge TRD sticker on an echoOriginally Posted by kleen & quick VR

I'd rather have the immaculate sleeper that doesn't turn heads until it dusts the Clubby Kitted V6
I've always said keep kit's for the real deal, there would be nothing worst than owning a collectable and passing another on the street, only to catch up and find out it's a kitted V6. Not to mention the shame the poor guy in the repilca must feel, listening to his timing chain rattle and 2.5" Exhaust, while the 215i vanishes into the distance.
In the spirit of the thread I have to add this..........

Speaking of "original" things,
I found an old Street Machine in my collection from about the mid-eighties, with a full page color two page advert for some motor oil.
There was a tough guy kneeling in front of a gold Bathurst Monaro. The story with the advert went something like "My grandad saw Bathurst won by the Monaro and had to have one, so went right out and bought this car. My grandma didn't like it so every weekend he's take it out, wash and polish it, drive it round the block, and garage it again, and now he's gone it's been passed on to me, a genuine 350 Bathurst Monaro with only (some miniscule number) of miles on the clock".
What does our genius do with an irreplacable piece of ultra-low mileage Australian motoring history?
it goes on..."But the power wasn;t enough", so he guts the car, fully works the engine and suspension, new mags, big exhaust, kitted out interior....
What a moron.....he has totally destroyed any value the car may have had. Oh, it would sure sell for a pretty penny, but if he'd left the damn thing alone, it'd be worth a mint...it's much the same with motorbikes...especially Hardly Driveables...a good original non-molested Harley will sell for more than something that has been added to and modified to within an inch of it's life, mainly because you don't know what quality the modifications were, as opposed to factory-correct parts. Sure, aftermarket can be good, but we all know there are some aftermarket parts you look twice at before buying...
The number of sh1tboxes with Clubsport body kits (I don't mean nicely done cars which have had a fortune spent on them, I mean real buckets of pus) only degrades the poor buggers out there who've spent money on a real Clubsport or SS and have to follow these losers with thier rattly ill-fitting body kits....That's probably why I lean towards the "sleeper" look.
