One thing I've noticed is that it seems like a lot of people who make "custom" cars have an affinity for our tail lights. Not sure why...
|
Look as a guy who does a lot of custom things personally, I have respect for doing this kind of thing. Well, not specifically making a MR2 look like a Ferrari or whatever donor car you use, but for building custom cars. Doing custom things takes a lot of well (skill). Just because you can do something does not mean you should. And just because your "machine" can do something does not mean it should. If you really want to do something completely different go ahead and build it. You will be into it thousands easily in parts and not to mention labor. I know you said you do it yourself, but these things take hundreds to thousands of hours to complete.
90% of people who start a project like this do 1 of 3 things. 1. Drop WAY TO MUCH MONEY INTO IT. 2. Spend years building it, and either quit or sell 3. End up finishing it Well over their time frame and budget. All of them do one things though and that is lose a wife/girlfriend haha. |
What are the other options though, owning a regular car like everyone else or working for decades to buy a great car.

What's exotic about it? It looks out of place, and just widens the car. http://stephaniefunke.com/resources/...n+-+400x+s.jpg http://www.tuningnews.net/news/08070...ck-edition.jpg

You can actually get two of these cars under 200k if you pick the right combo. lol ON that note, Aratari, if 200k is your benchmark, you can have MOST exotics for that amount. Sans a couple high end under 100 production vehicles, most of them fall in the mid 100's. lol. So see, Why build a crappy car when you don't have to.

Ah, I was trying to be positive and constructive... but seeing is how you're all about it for the money... lost respect. You can make money at anything -- if you're good at it. Look at your feedback, man... it's not good. I know anyone who sees your work after this point will discourage those all over the world not to buy your crap if you do actually produce it. How much do you think you can make now?
Do it to make something beautiful and unique- not a mixture of different supercars wrapped up on a 20 year old car... I tried to help you out... but you don't want to hear it, so fck off.

Your logic still doesn't fly. That's like saying, "It's okay for Ferrari to build the 458 Italia to LOOK fast, but to drop a K24 Honda motor in it." That old Ferrari might not have had a lot of horsepower. But you've got to remember two things: 1) The suspension set up was designed for on the track. Not straight-line racing. 2) A lot of those cars are designed to race in specific classes with horsepower and weight caps. Just because a Ferrari had 185HP in the 1960's doesn't justify an exotic like that in modern times. I guess you're against cars like the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Celica then, cars look fast, but are slow and lack good suspension so they are poser cars. Only if you guys could rule over the car industry and stop posing poor people from owning wanna be fast looking car. Aftermarket? Fail. The OEM design is just fine. And compared to a lot of other "sports" cars out there, the G isn't really all that cheap. How about using a donor car like a Toyota MR-2 Spyder instead? Cheap, AND they've got rear-mounted engines. |
The Bentley comes with the fenders stock. The G35 has the widebody kit for the fenders. See the difference? Or are you just really that blind?
|
That particular design has the fender lips stick out awkwardly in my opinion but it does make it look more muscular. Just because it didnt come out of the factory like that doesnt make it automatically rice.
http://i56.tinypic.com/fdedjd.jpg |
you were comparing the stock bentley to the aftermarket kit to the G35.
So yes it looks out of place on the G35. and not on the Bentley. The lines of the veilside widebody clearly do not follow the lines of the g35. |
I would round off the corners next to the door handle but its not a bad fender, its does match the cars boxy and straight lined sides.
Progress is going pretty fast on this build, new pictures. http://www.madmechanics.com/forum/bu...r-build-6.html |

owning wanna be fast looking car.. You're talking about modifying a G35 coupe to look like an exotic car. Not a JDM sport-compact tuner that actually cost less off of the lot than the G coupe did.

MR2's are ideal but not as common as G35's, so if a great kit is made, more sales and conversions can be made. That's one aspect of it, but for me not enough to justify it over an MR2.
I really hope you're trolling. Because if you're not, I just feel sorry for you... |

is this guy really comparing the eclipse and celica with what he's doing??
this guy really is stupid. lettuce remind you that the eclipse and celica come like that (appearance wise) from the factory. Nobody has modified it with paper mache. What you're doing is modifying the G35 to look like something it isn't. While the eclipse/celica are not modified to look like something they are not. Hence the modified G35 being a poser, but not the eclipse/celica. Your argument is invalid. |

The notion of me using fast car design cues and being labeled a wannabe, but its okay for a car manufacture to use those same cues on a slow car... why does a million/billion dollar automobile company have a greater right then me? The people who buy G35 coupes are not going to buy "conversion" kits. It just isn't going to happen. People buy G35's because they're G35's. Not because they want to buy a G35 and spend $10,000 buying a body kit to make it look like a Lambo. You're not thinking about buyers off the street that want an exotic looking car. .

What do you mean what authority to use fast car design cues? lolololol. when that bugatti/r8/gaycar/pos is finished. let me know. i'll rent a geo metro and smoke it. |
if your car was a person, it would be this person.
why? let me tell you bic boi. 1. fake as hell. 2. work sucks absolute hippo dick 3. ugly as fuk 4. everybody else knows its ugly as fuk http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/art...99_Jocelyn.jpg meanwhile, the rest of us. are like this http://savemisc.com/threads/images/5...1e3a41169c.jpg http://gifsoup.com/view4/1449586/rosie-jones-o.gif |

Arashi, you should just stop posting in this thread, you're just pissing people off and doing FugazziCars more harm than good here. I think there are a couple of members thinking that YOU are the one building that car, which you're not.

Wait? hes not the one doing the actual building? just the design?

Because you have a closed mind. For someone to express their taste in car design you have set rules for them because your conditioned that cars should be an original company set. Maybe this plays into the status of cars too, if someone was to "cheat" and have a fast expensive looking car without being rich or grueling in the rat race, perhaps you'd feel cheated inside so much that you have to express your disgust so much in this thread. Its not because kit cars are all ugly, because some are nice, its because you're brought up thinking this way. Unless their is a deeper explanation please tell us what you think the root of your problem with kit cars is, not just replicas, but changing an exterior to another design and driving it around town. What do you mean what authority to use fast car design cues? lolololol. Just because some robber barons make these fast looking cars with slow engines in their factories doesnt mean I cant rebody slow cars with the same kind of design cues. No authority or person can say they are more legit just because they have mass money to use fast looking designs. As a poor example its like saying people shouldnt design custom fast looking computer cases because only big companies like HP and Compaq should make them as they have lots of money and mega factories. See how silly you sound. https://i.imgur.com/CG9cW.jpg when that bugatti/r8/gaycar/pos is finished. let me know. i'll rent a geo metro and smoke it. I noticed today that it has elements of the Lotus concepts... but you can keep to your factory design forms like a Geo Metro and feel comfortable that no one like your self is going to laugh at you for having a kit car... kind of like how a little boy keeps to his comfy blanket to go to sleep at night. :D http://images.thecarconnection.com/m...00326442_m.jpg

Well, this is an Infiniti forum. I guess us "fanboys" are saying GTFO. And yeah you're giving the Fugazzi a bad name cause you're a douche.
|
This guy works at Fugazzi?
I think we should all email in that a new designer is needed. As soon as confirmed this is correct I'll send mine. |
I have no association with him, we are only members of the same forum.

http://www.surprisinglysane.com/wp-c...ngs_report.jpg Lastly this is my thread, it was meant to gather design ideas and that finished in the first early pages and turned into debate about kit cars. Start another G35 conversion kit thread for all I care. |
someone send this thread over to Jalopnik.

I checked on that thread again yesterday and the only thing done to that car that I like is the chopped roof. I still have yet to see any serious plans regarding the engine and drivetrain. So as of now its going to be a G35 that looks like an ugly exotic, has an increased curb weight of 100lbs or so, still having only 300hp at the crank, and is now slower then V6 Mustangs. And you don't understand why some of us don't support this build??? |
Not really feeling any of them.
|
The problem is that some of the "concepts" that are posted actually look interesting... Unfortunately the designs posted here are sub-par and look like they were made in MS paint. Not saying that I can do any better on a computer, as some people are more skilled than others at that stuff. But I was not impressed.
Found this one over on another forum and it reminded me to come back and check this thread lol. |

guys you don't know this dude the OP, but he's a local legend everyone here in Vancouver knows him as a whackjob for his constant ideas of dreaming up **** like this.... it's a long story, but to make it short here is his main project... a ****ing paper mache 300zx kit to make it look like an exotic, that alone says enough... dude literally tried convincing us on a local thread paper mache would work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5p1s...feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF68o...feature=relmfu I really need to check this site out more. :bowrofl: |
http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instanc...x/31215505.jpg
I checked up on that forum recently just for the hell of it, and unless I've missed something I still see a stock VQ. Anyone else think the front looks ugly as fvck: http://www.madmechanics.com/forum/at...116_170410.jpg |

^^ He's doing this so he can make "kits" off of it, so it wouldn't make sense to throw a different engine in there when it's just going to collect dust. He doesn't even have a final hood for it yet. From what I've read he's going to use the STS turbos on the demo car he's going to be taking to some shows. But again, he's doing this to build kits out of it, so don't expect engine mods, that would be up to whoever buys the body kits.
|
Well, when you look at it that way. Not exactly a bolt-on kit if it requires the roof to be chopped though.
|
front end looks like a Zenvo ST1 that had sex with a Reventon and the baby was a deformed raw piece of paper mache.

why is this not on Jalopnik yet
|
god damnit OP stfu. no one wants to deface a potentially "timeless" care like the ones we drive aka a G35 not a damn ferrari, lambo ,ZX, veyron shitstorm. Leave the car alone and go into the honda industry. I know for a fact, that crowd is into making their shitbox look like anything other than a honda civic, but here the G35 is a one-of-a-kind decently priced and decently powered coupe that gets a mild amount of attention...but better yet, at the end of the day all owners look back after they lock this car and think damn...that looks nice...and we don't have to drop thousands on some stupid *** "kit" that ruins the stock appeal that a G35 has. Your feedback is all over multiple forums... and it's terrible. Now leave this forum before this angry Marine finds you and spartan kicks the **** out of you. 'MURICA!
|
^^^WHS
I have had more compliments on my sedan than any other car I have ever had. I love the "classic looks of this car and will never change it like that. |
As long as dumbasses are still buying that stupid GTR front bumper.. somebody will buy this piece of ****. Probably paint it purple as well.

Whoa...this azz is still clowning around? I thought this thread died like..four months ago.
