you can tell someone's age by the "mods."

under 30: ricer crap.

30-40: no tacky stuff, maybe a nice aftermarket radio, legitimate mods like power adders.

50 and up: chrome and vinyl/cloth tops.

yes, i'm joking.

kinda.

when i bought my Jeep there was an older couple that was buying a Concorde. i commented that my mom was looking at one and it was a really nice looking car...the wife says "oh, but we're having it sent out to have a fabric top put on it, and the portholes, and..."

hence my sig.

 

Very Very Nice, I like it!

Looks cool, the color is just right and they did a great job.

Actually, I would paint the door handles black to draw a little more attention to the spoiler!

Very Nice!

 

Randy... looks great...to each his own! Now all you need is a "Bee Sting" antennae, hopefully you can see it in the pic below.

If you recall, member ICHON did something similar (and a little more extreme) some time ago:



There are more in his gallery.

 

Seems ricer-ish for such a beautiful car. IMO, it takes away from the car.
But, whatever floats your boat.

 

that's one drawback to these cars being so cheap.

 

Yep, if these things still went for 47k, I'll bet you wouldn't see these kinds of mods. Well, I'll keep mine tasteful to balance out the flock. This is what happened to all of the nice, original 60's muscle cars. Now, there aren't that many unmolested examples around, hence the 200k dollar price tags lately.

 

I THINK THE RED THROWS EVERYTHING OFF! I like the vertical door kit, I'm looking for a quality door kit. If anyone knows of a quality kit let me know. Randy if you're happy with the wing red, then I'm happy...

 

CrossfireLTD's car looks very nice and tasteful. The other two, Not so much...

As far as the two with Red "stuff", I only have one word for you... YUCK!

 

Ichon has had this car for a few years i'm sure he paid top dollar for it, he also has won 1st place at Carlisle 2 years in a row so people do like the look.

 

This is a great point. Ichon's SRT is really a show car (they are usually a bit over the top). He has the trophies (and girls, LOL, just check his gallery).

 

you and me both. here's to good taste...

 

It's unfortunate that there are so many blind people out there...

It would look good if the entire paint scheme were different. That just looks like a cheap way to achieve a different look. It would be a nicer looking car if the whole thing were changed to a different color. I saw pictures of one in Germany painted Chromalusion and it looked GOOD!

 

Your sig. says it all!

The only flashy color change I would ever consider would be a tasteful two tone like graphite with black center. Not a stripe, but the entire center done with both colors joined by a coordinated pin stripe. Even that would be pushing it. Chip Foose has done some very tasteful two tone cars. No matter how over the top his customs are, they are always elegant, especially his winners in the Most Beautiful Roadster contests.

Over all, I like mild customizing. Changes that compliment the car. Maybe some tastefully planned wheels, some lowering, etc. A finished car should look as if it were built like that from the factory.

 

My motto exactly. I have done a number of mods to my car and the best complements I have received is when I point them out and the response is "...oh, I thought it came from the factory like that!"

Not everyone will agree with my CF additions but I think they are done tastefully. The other items I am working on will also carry that theme.

I have tried to be very conscious of this in the designs of my badges as well.

 

Personally, I couldn't agree more with you guys; the most flattering praise is that it looks OEM but somehow just "better." I posted the photo of ichon's car because this thread is about a red spoiler on a black SRT6, which is something he did, I think, well over a year ago. It's definitely not everyone's taste, but it is clearly very well done and certainly earned the awards it won. Hey - "different strokes" works, right?

 

i may send my windshield surrounds for the CF treatment. i think it would hold up better than the paint is...i'm noticing some blemishes. beyond that i probably wouldn't do much.

 

Randy,
I think it looks nice. When you get the interior done, it should help blend it all together. I'd try a red pin stripe down the side, it might go well, and then it might not, but I'd try it!!!
