seen cool parts or have a cool idea? seen a picture of a car where people have used their imagination or has just 'nailed it'? Tell or show us more and lets all discuss/argue about how good or bad these things are! Just thought we could have a thread as we all have ideas that we know we will never do so maybe someone else will ;D Plus hopefully we will all see some cool pictures  Ill start with some cool gear nobs:     And when I say nail it...........:  |

Your car is not 'epic', this thread is not 'epic'....the OCEAN is epic, the UNIVERSE is epic.... please stop misusing this word!! It would appear Hotrods are the new VWs - aint fashion funny! '69 BUICK LESABRE 350 |

Yo Kris, family forum - lose the dong Really? That considered bad? But hand grenades are all cool yeah? Any kid looking will just see a rubber version of whats in his pants or if its a girl a rubber item them don't recognise. If they do recognise it then the damage is already done. |

well... the top two are great, the middle "body parts" are decidedly dodgy, but the scorpion and leadsled are rad! not sure where youre goin with this tho? I was just thinking that i often see or think of things that i like or think would look cool but not on my style or type of car so i thought what better than to have a thread where we can show others and let them decide if maybe it would work on theirs. Hope this makes things a bit clearer. An example of it would be this rear view mirror:  How trick is that on the right car but on my Jetta would be totally pants! (i think) dong removed  i thought it was the best one their too would certainly amuse me at a show if i was walking past and clocked it. I didnt think it was that bad!  ruffgeezer like your knob thats cool. I know this isnt car related but just found this and its way cool:   I did toy with getting a cheque roof and magnetic chess pieces on the Jetta for this years show season but thats an example of stuff that goes by the wayside. cool beetle with suicide rear quaters:  Recessed number plates are cool too:  Another one is i like bike cans on some cars i had one on my mk1 escort when i passed my test as it was 10 pound from the booty and looked ten times cooler than a 9inch rage like all my mates had when we were 17  |

[/img][/quote] ....weren't we on about kustoms? That looks like VW scene mods. nothing against it but it sure ain't what springs to mind when the word 'kustom' is used...  Thanks for the elaboration Dez - didn't think to mention the dehandling and was not aware of the names of either the caps or the bumper  |

NP jimmy.
Kris, custom and kustom are 2 very different things. hence you get people like me and jimmy looking for pics of 'sleds, with mods such as roof chops, fender skirts, appletons, frenched, nosed, decked, side pipes, bellflowers, tooth grilles, wide whites, flipper caps, tunnelled ariels, dehandles, fadeaway paintjobs, reverse rake taildragger stances, etc.etc, and are getting confused by seeing VW scene mods and electronic rear view mirrors?!.....

Don't think the bumpers on that Dodge/Plymouth are Brizz which were patterned after some OEM '30s ones though I forget which make*. Look more like they're off some other late 40's early 50's car and smoothed off. *Just looked at Rik Hovings site. 37 Desoto.  I've always wanted to do the old matching oil/water/gas cans in a properly trimmed boot. Difficult to find a photo but got this on Rik's site.  ] I'm sure it could be given a modern twist on something more modern too. |

mods i like to do are things like just cleaning up the lines of a car to make it less cluttered this 510 cleaning lines to another level but even very simple and subtle smoothing can make all the difference  |
