Beautiful Custom Stinger !

[YOWStinger]

Thanks. It's actually RWD. AWD has a more even rake with Eibach's springs.

Oh yes, that's what I mean A little more drop in the front. ... still ... waiting ... on ... my ... backordered ... springs ...

I think people are missing the point, it's basically a marketing car that he drives daily....cars for marketing are supposed to be flashy in your face and sometimes off the wall...it's what grabs attention, and that's what marketing is after all....

That may well be the original intent, but I'm not sure what company would want to promote themselves by covering a car with giant bird poop..

Well, Keendesign, evidently! You know, the orange SEMA car guys?

Hey, we're just not all gonna agree on this, which is fine, since I don't think any of us are going to go this far out on a limb with our own cars. I think it's kinda fun, kinda outrageous, and exactly the kinda thing a customized car should be.

Hey, we're all friends here.. I'm not arguing with anyone, just saying I think it looks like crap. I feel the same about carbon fiber hoods and spoilers, but that's just *my* opinion. I think the Stinger has a degree of elegance about it, on par with much more expensive vehicles which is how it was marketed - so I personally don't like things that make it look cheap. Hence my comment on the Civic - I don't want my car to look like it was modified with cheap parts from overtime money earned at Taco Bell.

......I've been surprised how conservative this forum is to visual modding.................the basic Stinger is nice but it really does respond to a bit of "nip and tuck" ..............spend some time on the Merc , BMW and Audi Forums and I think you would see that this type of Modding is not "down market " ..................or weird . Almost like contemporary art .................its needs perspective , and an open mind ........................IMHO

I would love to modify my stinger, but it's so hard to do in Germany... for example, I have about 15 legal wheels to choose from. that's it
and on top of that I'm really really picky when it comes to looks.

I have much respect for the guys who do modify their cars, cause it takes a lot of time, money and effort.


but the modifying culture tied with the modern cars (at least in Germany) today it's only about wheels, suspension and foil


Btw I'm thinking about adding maxton roof fins ... hmm

I'm not feeling them personally , but hey they are no different than those devil claws for the front and rear vents ................it a personal thing .

 

[eflyguy]

It just keeps getting better..

Hey, don't diss the "claws". There is deliberate air channeling design behind those things. Didn't you know that the air is directed forcefully onto the brake pads?

.......................maybe , then I cant wait for you to explain the rears ??? ................c'mon its a "look " vs functional .............

Well, the rear "claws" (which I have not seen, btw), must be the aesthetic to balance the front (air directing) claws, "just because". Sort of like "balancing" the hood "vents" with the rear brake "vents" on the GT. (I'm still waiting for an aftermarket functional rear wheel well brake vent. )
