Welcome to the site! I hear you on the criticism thing, but that seems to go with the territory here, unfortunately.:nonono: Anyway, I think it came out pretty sweet, and I seem to be in the minority here, but the KR hood is something I like. Anyway, I definitely see the theme you were going for on this build with the retro KR look. Even though the CS wheels go perfectly with that theme in mind, I think you may have received much less negativity if you had gone with some deep dish TF wheels, or something like that, but as I said it looks sweet anyway, so enjoy it!:beer:
i for one love that color but i agree it needs another hood and some different rims
i thought it looked like shit. then i looked again and sorta like it. it does sort of look sad though with droopy eyelids lol. my suggestion though would try out some wheel spacers.
LOL...im like that turbo fo sho
I hate the 1/4 louvers on these cars, the ones on the red car look like ass. The S197 body is not the best looking and i think most of the appreance mods that people do to them makes them look worse. I think these cars look best with just some nice wheels and a decent drop.
This...
I personally think Dawn has done a great job with the car & MODS!!! LL looks great & does draw a lot of attenion at a local & national level....Maybe one should Evaluate there own stuff before they're so critical to others!! :nonono:
Nice Turbo LL Dawn!!! :beer:
Nice Turbo LL Dawn!!! :beer:
the wheels are horrible, cant stand those
the wheels and color pretty much kill any potential the car has.
Old Guy Here.
It reminds me of Seaform Green with old style Shelby 10 spokes.
People will notice the car good or bad. And I've seen ALOT worse cars.
No
oke:from me.

Eh, the bodykit and wheels aren't my styling but tis not my car to mod.
...Guess you missed the TURBO part!
Sorry to see someone who is obviously an enthusiast get turned away so quickly. I have to agree that there is a ton of negativity if you color outside the lines at all with regard to styling on this site. It is one of my favorite sites for general entertainment, and tech stuff, but the bashing really sucks, and I'm not really sure why it is even tolerated outside of the "smackdown" section of this site. I have a Terminator, so I generally hang in that section, but have seen this type of thing happen there too if someone dared to alter the factory body kit, change the interior, etc. from the way it rolled off the assembly line.:rollseyes
I think that sort of mentality is true for the Terminator but not so much for anything else. Maybe the GT500 to a degree.
As for the negative comments, it's the Internet and people are much more open about their opinions than they would be in real life. I think it makes it worse if you're talking about a big forum like this one. I notice people are a little more polite on smaller forums like ones that are centered on your own local area.
To the owner of the lime green GT, I wouldn't take the negative comments personally or seriously. We all have different tastes and not everyone is going to agree on what looks good. Just "ask" Pootang (I think that's his name, or it's something like that) and look at his threads about his cars. To be polite about it, that guy has some very "unique" tastes where he gets picked on the worst I have ever seen, but he handles it very well. So don't let the negative comments here make you avoid this site becuase it is really a good one. I have gotten plenty of laughs and help from it.

I get what you are saying, but there is definitely not as many girls into this scene as there are guys, and to just trash the new girl in town on her first showing/thread is pretty crappy. It's HER f***ing car, and she is obviously proud of it, so why can't people just move along if they have nothing positive to say about it!? My car is definitely within the top 10% of cars on this site, but I don't bother posting pics of it in here for this very reason. There is always a bunch of jealous, internet commandos ready to critique everyone else's ride, and I don't have the time to deal with that juvenile bs.
I think it doesn't look bad at all, I would just get different set of wheels to bring out more of the exterior.
I agree people were too harsh on her car. I'm thinking if she did start this thread, and not one of her friends, posters would have been a little more diplomatic seeing how she is new. Although, I would still expect some harsh feedback, but maybe not quite as much.
