Re: Do you like extremely/insanely cutomized models?
I look at a car as a blank canvas. I get a box stock sports coupe and pretend Im a miniature tuning house and go to work at making a one of a kind purpose-built machine. I'll be happy when my skills are good enough to replicate my ideas, and I have this forum to thank for helping to make that a reality!!

I love to build bodykit that with big fenders or wide looking. Especially those Amemiya FC, FD or SE and of course my favourite Veilside bodykit. But afterall, it's different point of view everyone. No one will have the same point of view.

Re: Do you like extremely/insanely cutomized models?
If the body kit suits the car IMO i like it. These days some kits are way-over-the-top and look stupid.
I nice paint job, lowered on nice rims and a nice body kit makes me more then happy.

When I think of insane customs, I think of cars like this.
![]() This is the Sty-ray, a custom Corvette built in 1963 by Charles Gibilterra. It's one of the 150 historically important models that the International Model Car Builder's Museum wants to either locate and restore (if possible) or create a replica of for their collection. To me, this is more indicative of customizing than simple bodykits like many of us do. I kind of would like to see some of the guys around here get involved with the IMCBM's Hot 150 program.

I really like any customized models, whether it be a simple lip added on to the front bumper, or a heavily customized one with opening doors, trunk, or the whole front clip. The reason I like them is because even if the car is ugliest thing you've ever seen, the builder might still be progressing their skills to a higher level. It is pretty interesting to watch some of the members just starting out building models and learning, to see them a year from now, when their models may be ten times better than they were then. And like Tonio said, "Build for yourself, nobody else matters."

Re: Do you like extremely/insanely cutomized models?
well as u kno Mike ive been doing kits on modifiers, so yes i like body work on cars, only if its done clean and right, meaning well balanced and proportioned and it also has to match the car

If they like it than that is fine, but if the mods are over done than I think it is an eye sore. This is just my opinion. I don't mind body kits as long as they follow the style hues of the car that they are put on. If you have a sharp angled car (i.e. Toyota Celica) than sharp angled kits look like very nice. Thats my opinion

The bigger the wide body the better it looks, with in reason. Wheels have to go with the body and not be to far from the edge of the fender.

My favorite kits are the showrods, so I enjoy modifying just about anything.
