Why does most tuning tend to always be the same: lower suspension, spoilers, and darkened side windows. Why are actually interesting modifications so rare?
When I started my car project, the vehicle Finnish vehicle inspection agency had never even heard of anyone planning the kinds of things I did. And that's worrying. What's wrong with the mankind's imagination if in a city of 50 000 people, in more than a decade no one has even discussed the topic of customizing their cars?!
Japan has the right spirit, although their sense of style is a bit off. Anyway, let's discuss the problem, and post some properly interesting customs too.

nope you just have shit taste

tuning = making a car go faster (also see modifying)
modifying = ruining resale value

Why do all the "tuners" add stuff to the car? Ridges, intakes, gaps, holes, spoilers, that kind of stuff. Why isn't smoothening as much of a thing? Close off fake vents and unnecessary gaps, smoothen the body lines where they stick out (for example, those two bumps in R34's grille), get wheels with few large, tasteful spokes and tires that arent' paper-thin, integrate exhaust into the rear bumper, leave some ground clearance to leave an even gap in the wheel arch, refine the sound so it sounds good but not obnoxiously loud, that kind of stuff.

Because actual modification are expensive and require knowledge?
Levi Rivera
you are an idiot.
seriously you are a fucking idiot.
if you think all these vents are fake and unnecessary and dont serve a purpose, mcfuckingkillyourself

That's not a "tuner". That's a proper tuner. Those are all functional.
Zachary Young
the fuck is a "tuner"
and why do you even care
Colton Clark
no, actually you are a weeb
Aiden Anderson
shaving and molding looks like complete ass
ricers used to do it
Nathaniel Martinez
Wait, where the hell are these?
Luis Barnes
>tuning That's called ricing. All show, no go. You wanna talk interesting mods, you won't see them when the car is on the road. If you saw this Mustang on the road, you'd think it had flares, different wheels, and a Walden front lip. Underneath, it has totally different front suspension geometry, frame stiffeners, a cage with low door bars, a complete cobra IRS swap, a Ford Performance crate motor, etc.

Matt Farahs million mile mustang is cool but stop slobbing on his knob like corn on a cob

Wait, So is tuning everything that improves the speed/handling of your car like suspension and engine modifications? And modifying means any kind of mod whether it be body-work or tuning?
Elijah Roberts
Modifiying means changing a part. Tuning means adjusting something. Shitty body modificstions are called rice. Just an example off the top of my head. Doesn't look too fast but is fast.
Carson Bell
>Doesn't look too fast but is fast.
look at those fucking tires. Yes it does look fast and intimidating.
Wide tires = putting down big power
Samuel Wilson
yeah but its still ugly as hell
Joshua Robinson
Yes but you are a stancefag, so your taste in what looks good can be disregarded. It's inoffensive, as a fox should be.
Mason Lewis
>ugly ass bumper >ugly ass flares >nigger wheels >blacked out circa 2007 taste
its garbage like a Fox always is
Noah Watson
Looks like shit. Not even meming
Blake Hill
I thought you liked bolt on flares
Hudson Young
maybe when they dont look like shit
the fact that those have straight edges and arent even bolted into proper locations pretty much ruin them
car has bad fitment which doesnt help either
Charles Murphy
Conversions are the best mods
Xavier Walker

Aaron Murphy
Those flares are made specifically for foxes, they're designed with the rivets farther out both to help flush the flare with the body and give you more room to cut sheet metal for clearance. Also the car is set up to have zero rub throughout the suspension' and steering's range of motion, not to have "perfect fitment".
David Harris
ye boy
specifically made for it and still look like garbage
not that you can make a Fox look good anyway
Matthew Robinson
sileighties are for newfags
Landon Reyes
>resale value >not buying the car you like and enjoying it Ok cuck
Aaron Lee
there was this jap magazine scan of an ae86 with an r32 front conversion but i can't seem to find it
Juan Brooks
this is a proper tuner real function
Ryder Martinez
I love finding some common ground to customize cars from manufacturers. Almost in a modular sense. Some user turned me on to GC8 bumpers on 7th gen corollas.
Kayden Taylor
bolt on fenders are SO gay dude
Blake Gutierrez
It's probably because all those mods are achievable for an amateur and don't require extensive fabrication knowledge or complicated certification; just bolt on some parts that are known to work.
Henry Hernandez
The western civilized world gravitate toward oem+ modification. They try to keep outside as stock as possible while extracting most power from the engine. I partly blame the police for that.
