Possible new contest:

After this custom contest dies down, I am considering organizing another contest.

Don't fret folks, not a real big deal.

It's a poseur car contest.

You know, that fool down the street with his 4 cyl mustang and a fartcan tht calls his car "the black death."

Or the guy at the McDonalds with a 4 door Civic clad in Type R badges and carbon fiber decals on the doors.

Can we do it? Can we bring ourselves to throw everything we have, wholeheartedly into an ugly bastard of a car that we honestly think looks good? Can we sleep at night with the DOHC VTEC sticker on our Jeep Cherokee? (Not making that part up, honest!) Can we fool people with our NOS decal next to a flame graphic near the Enkei sticker on an Eclipse riding on stock 13 steelies?

Ok, so I'm not really doing the contest. I've got too many serious models on my upcoming list... but I have to say I've been really tempted to build a Civic with the bumpers still in primer, the panels all ill fitting, and blinking in a ludacrous display of lighting that would make a Sci-Fi modeller wince.

Everyone here has the talent, who has the balls?

If you enter the contest with a ricer or whatever I will down grade one of my models in the poseur contest. It's no fun if the thought person doesn't participate.

We've all seen these nasty cars. I think it would be cool because it takes the mind off being a perfectionist. In modelling it would be too easy to go overboard into non-sense wild. I wouldn't mind doing a contest on ricer/ugly cars that are actually out there on the roads.

i whould enter it, i whould go out and buy a revell civic and build it like one thats here in town, it used to be a nice blue civic si, but he put the uglyist bodykit on it and the front bumper is primer red the side skirts are primer white and the rear bumper is flat black with grey slotches all over it and there is no hood on it. it has stock exhaust stock engine with yellow hoses, and a cone filter on the stock intake tube only one altezza tail light the other is stock, and he has some very nice 17's in the rear but stock stilies up front. the bad thing is the guy is actually my friend,lol. he says its a show stopper in-progress, but it has been that way for 7 months, he also seems to think its the fastist car in the world,lol. if this contest happens i will be building it for sure, and then after the contest is over i will sell it to him as a replica model,lol.

Damn I wish you would do this contest.. I'd build a replica of the Type R civic EX i saw the other day

sounds kick ass, i've got a dodge daytona in the planning stages that i think would fit perfectly for this contest. It's ugly and got a V8 but it's front wheel drive.

I'd enter it in a heartbeat!!:lol: I have PLENTY of resource material for the build!!:lol:

hehe:) i like your idea... but... i do not realy understand it.. but i have seen a verry ugly car on the net... i send the link;) http://www.b0g.org/wsnm/uploads/DSCN0007.jpg
hope the link works... is it something like that you mean?:P or those jerks that thin their volvo with big as mufler adn alu wing is the moste beautiful and the best car in the world.. is it that kind of cars you mean?

count me in if you do.... Ive got a finished civic coupe that i did a while back and ive been considering re-building anyway....

I was planning on doing one of these "poser streetracer" cars as a joke for our car show in November, since 'tuners' is a permanent class now.

The worse it looks the better I think. Kind of like a modern day rat rod.. :)

lol, there is a car in my town that would be perfect for me to do, hmmmmm..........

I already have 90 Ideas popping through my head. Definately going to enter as long as the deadline isnt to stressful.

Count me in! :thumbsup:

I would incredibly love to join such contest if started.

Seriously someone please do. Ahh im soo hyper right now :lol2:

Then you need to enter...you will do just fine then.

Geez I didn't expect any sort of response for this. It was just a bit of late night musing inspired in part by jgmodelcars Integra (which is a great model, to be clear). I'll bring it back up during the summer months, and get it started if the interest is still there, which I doubt. And if I do it, it'll be all laid back, long time to build, no need for progress thread, the prize would be an APC decal...

Oh damn a APC decal.. Im in for sure!!!

I got all ya'll beat

I guess I'm busted :banghead:

Almost finished with it, just need to get a few rolls of duct tape for the accents and some lights for the sprayers on my hood and some led tireflys. That will be the end of my Performance upgrades.
Man that APC sticker will be better than a Turbo!!!!!!!!!! :iceslolan :iceslolan :biggrin:
