money? effort? dedication? unique? nyway i think its admirable and take some balls to do somthing like this knowing that your money is going down the toilet. lol or maybe its just stupid but i suppose theres elements of both

I like to go stock with little subtle differences.. Ones that make you look twice and question if that was how the car was stock ..

So still unique.. But not scraming out "look at me" ... I would rather people look at me for driving a hot car, and making them think about what they are looking at .. And tring to find the difference...

it's not a photchop, you can see the inconsitencies in the dash conversion.
Centre bit is still facing the right side.
window wipers have been coverted for the LHD
you can see the fabrics color difference on the right hand side.


Meanwhile, did anyone notice the canon on the right hand side is a dummy one?
There for added weight and nothing more

Yea I dunno I don’t think it’s Photoshop because he has it for sale which wouldn’t make sense to go to the effort and if he did he would make a better front end. Yea it’s good to have a car with some differences but not over the top but the only people who appreciate your car are people with awesome cars themselves that would understand the time and effort.

Too prove this point I have told people my car is a Holden and about two thirds of people believe me (fair enough most that did believe me were chicks but still)

don’t get me wrong I love my fto it looks nice and its really all about how I find driving it thats more important then the looks.

I just miss 4/5 times I stopped my last car some1 would come up and say gday and ask me about my car. u get the odd bogan that yells out ('get a ford' or 'get a holden') I know this sounds all too familiar to everyone hehe but the majority of people would appreciate the fact that your so eccentric that u'd have a car that was blinding (especially when your 21) and u sorta get instant respect .

most of the general public dont really know what there looking at people have asked me if my car is a ferrari (probably coz im always redlining it and its debadged). way I c it 52% r chicks at least 40% of which love shiny things and arnt mechanically minded 48% are male comprising of 12%bogans whose opinion I dont care about, 25% normal dudes with slight interest in cars and wouldent know what a peugot or a fiat was but still liked sh*t that looked 'wiked' and 9% know a fair bit about cars and would at least appreciate the effort thats gone into customizing a car even if it wasnt to their paticular liking.

therefore if u got a turbo nissan exa targa top slapped a bodykit on it, painted it candy apple green with some silver flake, got a BOV, exhaust system, air horns, 17"mags, kick arse subs, lowered, retrimmed interior etc 74% would like and respect the car or at least appreciate that its 'not just some tosser' driving it(on the presumption that the car dosent have stickers all over it, fugly mags, and parts held on with old countersunk wood screws(dont laugh ive seen this lots.... ok well it is pretty funny) and 65% would think its a pretty sweet ride.

gee that was a lot of rambling but ill blame it on my good friend mr jack danials for making me philophise if thats how u spell it.

im pretty sure I dont need to say it but........ Opinions anyone?

Thats pretty astute of you astron boy, i wouldent say nothing more their a style mod and a pretty cheap one considering the impact and when most of the time people c the rear end of performance cars but i c what u mean i know theres 2 main types of modding cosmetic and performance so i guess extra lighting heavy wheels etc are only extra weight.

my first car w2as a magna, as much of a POS it was it was fairly reliable considering my driving style(apart from timing chain), gone to get recycled now:( such a freaking shame given that 1 of the mods was a ultra rare 'challanger' bodykit that i had adapted to fit on a tp magna. it was a promotional thing they made about 500 for on the tm's (think it was the tm)

not a bad car well i went back to mitsubishi didnt i? lol

It's always good when people think your car is something exotic :P

I swear the amount of people that think I drive a Porsche on my P plates is unbelievable, and if I don't correct them all the better ;)
