It's the way the mods have been done. The time taken matching graphics/colour/bodykit/wheels/interior always shows.
And, as already pointed out, it's a very subjective topic - we all drive the very best Skyline we can afford to have/maintain/make. Apart from mine, coz it's superb... - oops, see what I mean? |

Like most above, I don't think it's which "aspect" of the car is changed, it's how well it's done - and goes with the rest of the car! That's why I didn't really want to vote - but have done so I can see the results. I went for wings: my car
)Paint & Graphics jobs that look like they've been picked by a colourblind bloke with cataracts are sh1te - there've been some classic examples on fleabay recently Did you all see that 33 on fleabay with a Scooby scoop on the bonnet? That's what gives car modding a bad name I don't particular like Veilside "snowplough" front kits, doorstacks are generally a "go faster" chav mod, some wheels are really crap, I don't like carbon boots, etc, etc. But, on the whole, well put together (and not OTT) mods are an improvement and make our cars "individual". At the end of the day though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and, like Mook says, it ain't about ugly, it's about sh1te Matt - my wife says your car is ugly (you can take this up with her if she comes on our Dec NW meet ). I say it looks the business because I know it "does what it says on the tin" I'd liken it to an Apache attack helicopter! - Beautiful? No. Gobsmackingly, devastatingly, brutally, impressively AWESOME - yes! ![]() |

If I think back to 1977 the year I started work my top cars would have been 55/57 Chevy, Mk 2 Cortina Lotus,Shelby Mustangs . Most people now days just want something to get them from A to B with as little cost as possible. Pretty cars still a market for Gay men.

anything in an R33 body shape lol
im joking huge alloy wings are a no no, they just look v.v. wrong in the UK however they do for some reason look totally different in japan and just suit the "backdrop" gold OR chrome wheels, graphics saying "HKS" , bad "cover ups" like GTS-Ts looking like GT-Rs with the badges

My personal opinion is that too many modders seem to forget the effectiveness of subtle enhancements. For example the purple R33 with the boot key opener removed and sprayed over; Not many people noticed it in the photo (me included) but when pointed out provided a real 'wow factor'.
What makes a Skyline ugly - When somebody sticks a mod on for the sake of 'thats what you do when you've got a Skyline'. Last edited by Sean; 26th November 2006 at 01:52 PM. Reason: Can we add 'Anything from Halfrauds' to the pole |
