Here is the pic of my car if the link does not work :

 

I personally dont care, and I dont think its against the forum rules, but be prepared to catch alot of ____ from others on this site, especially with this being one of your first posts, it looks like youre just coming on here to get a bunch of people to vote for you. And since youre new, let me give you a rundown of what people around here like...

1) Hellaflush
2) Hellaflush
3) Hellaflush
4) 9.5" wheels with 205 tires on them
5) Hellaflush

And what they dislike...

1) Body kits

So yeah, I personally like your car, seems like something you put some work into rather than following the norm. But Im just trying to prepare you for whats to come...

 

Body kit, "custom" ugly green random paint, and stock wheels? No, you deserve to win nothing.

 

^^^^ nice lol

i like the car anyway

 

Thendawg thank you for your post and thinking back on doing this post was wrong but thank you again and about people think

 

*thinking that my car is ugly not to their liking that is fine and I know it is part of doing your car your way..... As for the "random" green it was done in memory of a very close friend who passed away in an accident in his xa in long island

 

You'll have to mind Spicy, he pulls no punches with his opinions but usually is on target with his information.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, he must have been close to memorialize him in such a way. Still in a show contest the back story only goes so far. Spicy did point out a lot of the things I saw. The plain Jane stock rims were the biggest. I mean a black powder coat or polished would have stepped them up a notch. Tic Tac Green is an acquired taste and while I wouldn't fault anyone for choosing such a color (regardless of the story behind it) it's just not my cup of tea. I can't decide if I like how the green was done up front. Part of me doesn't like how it splits the opening but another part likes how it disappears into the side holes. I think in the end I'd give that a thumbs up just because no one else is doing it and it doesn't look jacked in the photo. The one thing I noticed is that it doesn't look like it has a clear coat in that photo. The shine off the hood looks all scattered and I can't tell if it's the actual paint or just the posting resolution. In the end it is a very pretty car, better than over 80% of the entrants, however in a show competition you have to be better than all the entrants.

As for the "competition" it's a sham. All this is is a race to see who can get as many of their friends and club members to vote for their ride. Seriously, there is only like five good photos in the entire batch right now (your's is stage very well and I'm betting that if I saw the RAW image it would look as much better) and the cars with some of the highest counts are crap photos, some I don't even know why the car is special. I think I've deleted photos that looked better than some of those, seriously.

 

Darkstar I get straight to the point, lol. No need to kiss up to people, if it looks like junk they might as well know. Plus a look is all opinion anyhow. But that's besides the point.

The photo posted looks to be of poor quality and fairly pixelated, which in a completion won't help. And in being a low quality photo, it does appear the front bumper has either no clear coat, or is badly matched to the vehicle.

 

And thats another problem with FB and this forum, the photos get so compressed you can't tell if its a bad photo, a compressed photo or just a bad subject.
