Why?, Just Why? So, so Ugly!!

Now if this isn't the ugliest 3.2 out there, than it must be pretty darn close. What a complete abomination. The interior is just gross! Enjoy.

I don't see what is so bad about that. Yeah, the guy could have changed the carpet too, but that's not a big deal to change if you don't like it. I've seen much worse than that, here on Pelican.

Strange, different and even awkward, but I'm not sure I'd call it ugly.

Disturbing is the word which best describes it.

Perhaps it's something odd with the camera angles?

It just looks so distorted in some critical areas.

By way of explanation, my mantra is "Stock is Trick". That car is anything but.

Chris,

The conversion might not be your cup of tea but is your car much prettier than this one? Topic like this is very subjective and prejudice!!!! Why do you say its the ugliest? Do you have extensive experience in conversion and customizing cars to make this judgement? Just my two cents.

maybe because it's much ado about nothing.

maybe because it links to a page (rather than just posting the pict and link) ...a link that will time-out and orphan this thread as nothing but useless NOISE on the tech section. ...we have OT for that. ...actually, it would be useless noise there too.

I didnt think it was bad. Not my cup of tea, but just as nice as many on Pelican. Your opinion is worthless. Just my .02.

You get it!!!

And am I glad I have a thick skin. Apparently, my opinion is worthless. LOL!

And Tony, my car is much nicer. In terms of plain. And why body a 3.2 as a 993? What is up with those guages?

I see I ruffled a few feathers.

Sorry guys. It is all in fun.

Now while I have your attention, what would be the best motor oil to run in my 3.2??

Given where you live, I'd suggest Brad Penn 15W40.

I wouldn't exactly call that car in good taste, but I've seen much worse done.

My car is the farthest thing from stock. You very well may consider it ugly ha. To each his own. I find the stock impact bumpers to be the ugliest thing I've ever seen and think it's a huge improvement when people change/modify them.

I plan on going to a 993 GT2 Evo body for the aero advantages.

Yup. Especially the roof lines. It looks more like a boat cover.
