Custom Cars

Awhile back, I stumbled upon a crazy website that has a bunch of 3D models of real-life cars and parts for changing their appearance.

So I figured I’d share it, just in case there are other import car junkies out there. Feel free to post screenshots of your wild creations here too.

Ohgod, camber tilting. That is just so godamned idiotic…

Ohgod, camber tilting. That is just so godamned idiotic…

 

You know that camber is just one of many options, yeah? You can create a low-rider, a street dragster, a 22" donk, a classic JDM, or a hot rod. The possibilities are endless.

 

Also, the only car customization scene that I consider idiotic is bosozoku because those cars have pretty much lost most of their functionality. I try very hard not to hate on other’s preferences.

 

These are some very tame examples of bosozoku:

Put a donk on it!

Here’s a replica of my poor drift car

Nice! I’ve a special place in my heart for S13s.

Well… for you see, Bosozoku is an art. When those young pseudo-yakuza boys modified their cars, they weren’t even thinking about racing. Then, some guys started racing with a need tuning style, called Kyusha, using more race spec inspired parts. Also, there’s a mid-level style called Grachan. Something like: Bosozku->Grachan->Kyusha. In my opinion, I would never modified a car in a Bosozoku style, yet I would love to own an S30Z Kyusha inspired. 

Something like: Bosozku->Grachan->Kyusha. 

 

I’m intrigued. Can you post an example of each one?

Bosozoku: big spoilers everywhere, uber-wide bodykit, lowered and usually stock engine

Grachan: usually big cars, 4-doors, moderately wide, something for hang out, events, etc

Kyusha: more race-inspired cars, highly modified engines, functional wide body kit and suspension, with little front and rear spoilers

If you are interested in this kind of world, in deep 80’s, there’s a well-know manga called Shakotan Boogie, featuring all this kind of styles. There’s also a movie yet impossible to find.

Here is my ‘‘slightly’’ modified BMW, its a long project tho and its not even near done yet. Last summer I bought the mag + tire (19’) and this summer I changed the whole brake system to add new caliper, drilled rotor and ceramic brake pad. Next summer Ill change the exhaust system and add the body kit ! I just took the picture so the car is a bit dirty lol

I stand by my-… is your car an M3?.. sure… why not.

[hate]

C’mon man. Do you really need to bash everything?

I stand by my-… is your car an M3?.. sure… why not.

 

No it’s not but when ill be done with it, it will look alot like an M3.

In this kind of BMW’s I prefer a Mafia style. Black on black wheels with black windows and a black interior. Oh, and a black little lowered setup.

You mean the VIP look?

 

Or something more like this?

Because when you say ‘mafia’ this is what I think of:

Yeah, the VIP Style. Here some people call it the “mafia” style. Also, if you are looking a cool wide body for a BMW I think the best one is the Liberty Walk kit. Just gorgeous.

You really can’t go wrong with Liberty Walk or Rocket Bunny for over-fenders.
