Default sublety, or can you spot 500 modifications in this picture?


i wasn't sure wether to post this here or in syling mods. so i put it here... mods, move it if you want.

anyway i've noticed that alot of us saturn guys seem to think that we need all kinds of stupid stuff bolted all over our cars in order to make them "show cars"

so i wanted to show you one of the nicest looking modified cars i've ever seen. the car has approximatly 500 modifications and each was done by the owner with the uttmost attention to detail and quality. i'll post a pic below and i want you to see if you can spot the 500 or so things that have been improved.

[i can't get the fooking thing working...]

yeah, didn't think so. to be fair many of you may not even know what to look for, but my point is this. that car has been modified in such a way that it looks like it was factory built.

thats the subtlety i've been talking about. when you see a car and you're looking it over and you notice a small detail and realized that someone put the attention and effort into it, you really appreciate the car more than a car that someone dropped off at a body shop and had somebody else mold a body kit onto.

that said, if you actually think this is a nice car and want to know more about it, here's the whole story:

damnmmmmm. That car is sweet. Even after reading the first page of that thread I love it. I don't have time to look at the rest right now but I'm sure it just gets better. I see what you mean by the factory look. The extra attention to detail really makes that car.

With reading the story, that looks like my friends one car. He has an awsome fiero. He lives in Akron, PA. Anyhow, the fieros are really nice kit cars. I am working with my friend Salena on her car. Her family has 8 Fieros. She has a fastback and is really nice.
And I agree that is one of the nicest look modified cars out there.
