Hey now, you know the rules...you're only allowed to post pics of gaudy Euro customs if there are hot promotional girls in the images WITH the cars...

Looks like the Spanish tuning scene is producing even bigger junk than here.

C'mon, that's insulting. I don't do anything that tacky. I like it simple and very functional.

maybe change the hood to a smooth hood

I don't know what's worse, the fact that someone would do that to a car, or the fact that someone would be proud enough to take it to a show.

I do respect their efforts as well...and they put a loooot of money on these things (which i can't image where they get it ....because the rich guys just buy Mercedes CLK or Porsche boxter...), specially on stereos and big exhausts

But there is no engines, and if you want to educate them they'd kick you out around the whole place right to the exit door

A few years ago, SPIKE had a "tuner" show on Sunday Mornings. They would interview the car owners and the one guy said he had $30,000 tied up with his interior mods.

They're starting to grow on me over the years. I guess they're wearing me down. I do like some one the cars I see on the street, especially if they have suspension and engine mods.

I even bought my own "ricer."



But I also have a slightly modded rice killer too
