Blue Ferrari Enzo



The Auto Opinion

The Ferrari Enzo is by far one of my favorite Ferraris ever along with the GTO, F40, F430, and 458. This was a tribute car to Ferraris founder Enzo Ferrari. 

This car was built for the track. Not many were made. I belive it was 500. Ferrari also had to choose you to get the car. You had to apply to receive one of these. That's how big this car was. 

Usually they're Ferrari red but this one is actually blue. This car is astonishingly beautiful. Who wouldn't want it? Seriously? If I had a Ferrari Enzo (probably won't get one soon) I would get it exactly like this one. This gloss almost blue chrome peice of art.

Camaro with a Silverado Front End




The Auto Opinion

I'm sure many people were offended such as the camaro nationalists.  But really what's wrong with this? On the GM SUVs and Trucks people swap facias all the time. But they're the same body. Have you ever seen a silverado with an escalade front end?

This doesn't look bad at all. It doesn't offend me. I love it! I think this way of thinking is what makes the Auto industry so fun to be in. 

Does it look bad to you? It looks pretty clean in my opinion. I probably wouldn't have done a chrome bumper but either way. It's a comical yet serious and good-looking conversion.

Bagged Audi RS5



The Auto Opinion

This car is just badass. But there's some key things that just would've made it better. 


Bagged

This car looks awesome bagged. Most Audis do in fact. The stance is just right. It looks clean. I bet raised a bit would even look clean it. It's a goodhard-parked  car.  

The Color

The colors on this aren't my favorite. With this color on it just looks dirty and boring. You wouldn't spot this car. I don't know if he wants to stay like a sleeper but if he's bagged probably not. I would've done it yellow or blue. 

The Rims

I don't think these kind of rims should be put on this car at all. The chrome lip on the rims isn't goodlooking in my opinion at all. I just don't appreciate it. I believe it would look better on a set of Vossens or ADV1s. Something with a whole rim not a 2 peice. 

Debadging 

Why would you debadge this car? I'm not 100% positive that this is an RS5 or even an S5. It might just be an A5 with custom exhaust. If it's an A5 I see the point. But S5 or RS5 isn't something you take off your car. 

This car still looks clean. I wish there would be some minor changes like a wrap, new rims, and better detailing on this car.

Exotic Audi R8

IMG_7100

Audi R8s are already exotic cars. Putting an after market body kit and accessories will take it over the top.


The Auto Opinion

Pros
This cars body looks great. All the body work was done really well. The spoiler lip is a great touch. The rear diffuser makes it have that sport track look and all the vents are good too!

Cons
I am really not a fan of these rims. In Fact I actually hate rims that look like this. The ones that are "deep dish" but curve in ward. I think it looks stupid and cheap. Very wrong move on this car. If you're going to remodel the whole car at least pick an exotic color. If white then matte white. Or just one random color. Not just gloss white.

Slammed 370Z

IMG_7090

The Auto Opinion
This thing looks dope. It's slammed. It's rwd. It's a V6. Lowered 370z.

The Spoiler
The first thing you probably noticed was this cars duck tail. It looks super clean on this 370 and it's probably what I would do to nine.

The Color
Baby blue or sky blue however you want to call it is in right now. From Lamborghinis to well 370Zs. It's good on every car. I believe liberty walk started this foreign trend.

The Low/Wheels
It's this car too low? I know most people don't belive in such a drastic thing but I mean it's too much. Yes form over function but this much is just not even good-looking anymore. The front looks fine. It's fine! But there's too much of a difference in the camber for me. The rim style looks fantastic. The rim color is just something else

I like this car overall though. It looks clean and mostly done right. With a few minor tweeks it could look way better.

Corvette C7

IMG_7079

The Auto Opinion
This car looks good but why? What could make it better? What did they do to keep it from looking worse?

The Color
This dark gloss grey isnt a typical corvette color. Maybe a silver or light grey but typically not this color. The non-organic way of color is great. Most of what I've seen are white. As we know I am not a big fan of white sports cars. The Grey on black actually doesn't look bad. If the car was on alloy colored wheels I think it would look horrible. It looks good with its black rims,lips, and spoiler.

The Body
The additional parts make it look even meaner than the original C7 look. The spoiler looks great. You can't really put a duck tail or a major spoiler on these things. It just doesn't look right. I can't tell if it's a stock height but I highly doubt it. Its stance is on point. Over all great job.

This car looks good. It's mean. It's fast. The C7 mods.

Widebody FR-S Scion

IMG_7074

The Auto Opinion
This thing looks amazing. But why does it look so good? How does it look so good? Let's find out

Wide/Wheels
These rims are great looking. I can't imagine them looking bad on any car. They're almost built for the wide. The wide is a little bit more than usual but looks good. Wider cars just look better. That's why car manufactures put fender flares and what not.

The Body
The skirt looks like it just had additional panels attached for the widebody kit. The bumper looks insanely good. With a stock hood. And no spoiler.

The Lights
This is probably my least favorite thing on this car. The halo ring looks awesome but the line of LEDs just don't work for me. They don't look good.

This car is awesome. What I would do differently is do a new color! Change the lights the a single strip of light not many LEDs and of course add a spoiler. Not a duck tail or anything a real legit down force spoiler!

Lifted GMC Sierra

IMG_7065

The Auto Opinion
One of the better looking trucks of its generation which is the past few years. Not the latest models.

The Lift/Stance/Wheels
It's not super high off the ground which makes it not horrible to drive on the road. The offset is wide and driving one and parking a truck with wider wheels isn't as easy as you might think. Especially turning and lane centering buts it's not so bad. The wheels are monstrous but they aren't small either! They're decent.

The Hood/Grille
I actually like this hood and grill set up. It looks clean and mean. Just the way a truck should be props to ya.

The LED Bar
It looks good. Don't need the double stack ultra bright LED set up. Just some nice over head and bumper LEDs will do the job and it looks great.

The Bumper
Some may disagree on this but the only thing I do not like on this truck is the bumper. It just doesn't look right at all. The boxy front look, the weird LED square cut outs, and the mid LED bar is just all wrong and off. Maybe just maybe it would look good if it was black but I don't recommend this at all.

Over all this truck looks awesome. The lights are aggressive and mean as the rest of the facial is. Again the only thing is the bumper.

Lifted Trucks

Wide Custom GT-R

IMG_7052

The Auto Opinion
I don't know what company makes these body kits for the GTRs but they look great. Everything they could change exteriorly they did.

The Wide/Wheels
The wide isn't an extreme but it still looks really nice. The deep dish rims are spotless and look super clean with the fenders.

The Spoiler
Even though you can access the trunk without taking it off it still looks awesome. Makes the whole track ready theme come to life.

Bumpers/Skirt
The rear diffuser looks absolutely amazing and to go along with it so does its skirt. I can kind of see the front bumper which also has a diffuser.

The side mirrors
Even the side mirrors are changed to make this car more aerodynamic and track ready.

This car is a track built GT-R body kit which I adore. It looks great. All of it put together makes for one mean looking monster ready to take down anything. Definitely one of my favorite GT-R body kits.

6-Series Convertible (Looks)

IMG_7045

The Auto Opinion
The 6Series Coupe and Gran Coupe look great. At least the new ones do anyways. The ones previous look horrible and fish like. These look less like a fish and more of a luxury.

But the convertible just doesn't look the greatest. Well it's not even close! It's so bad looking. I don't understand what some designers think of. What the car manufactures launch.

If a car looks bad don't put it into production. Change it up or don't launch it. I've seen way more Gran Coupes than anything but it's probably because they're the fastest but mostly because the convertibles are ugly. Convertibles are fun free-flowing cars and this one just isn't right. Many sport cars don't have a convertible version and this one didn't need one.

Matte Black Huracán

IMG_7023

The Auto Opinion
This car looks great. The Huracan isn't exactly a car you could mess up either.

The Matte Black Vinyl wrap is just goodlooking. Usually I don't like matte black because it reminds me of the ricers and how they try to paint their cars with spray paint cans. But this is done right.

In many other European and Middle Eastern Countries this style is common. A matte black car with cold accents and or gold wheels. These rims are nice. They're brushed aluminum gold and even if they weren't they'd be nice.

Fan Submission 2

IMG_7015

IMG_7014

The Auto Opinion
So I personally have see these model Maximas done really good or really bad(rice). But this one isn't the worst. It's not the best but it's not bad.

Mods
D2 Coilovers
LED headlights and interior accent
Pearl PlastyDip
XXR521 Wheels
Exhaust
Tint

What I don't like about this car
I don't like how in the light the wheel color stands out in the side shot. I like how the car looks way better in the rear shot. It almost looks like two different rim colors but I don't know if they're the same rims in both pictures. I feel like the car should be lower. The gap between the wheels is too big. But since it's on coilovers he can just adjust them and make it lower.

What I like
The first thing I noticed which gave me hope is that he didn't black out his tail lights. This was a big plus. Most who plastydip their car a dark color just think they should paint the taillights too. No. Don't. It's gross. The rims in the rear shot look really good. Again they could be the same in both pictures I don't know. The color isn't even that bad. I would've thought the plastydip would look bad but it's fine.


Overall nicely done!

Street Drift 5

IMG_6940

Here is our 5th Street Drift post!

The Auto Opinion
Really I have nothing bad to say about this car and that's saying something. Yes there are negatives but nothing really wrong with it.

The Color
This color is not stock. It's fresh bright red paint on this 240sx. It just looks right. Red is always a sporty color and will always draw attention to its self.

The Stance and Wheels
The car is completely ruined by all the way camber being 2 cm of the ground. It's a good low with slight camber. The wheels are amazing. I see them everywhere and I still don't know the name of them yet. They are stunning though and it's lowered properly.

The Bumper
If I had to choose something wrong with this car it would be the bumper. There's just too many intake holes out of it. The fog lights are placed awkwardly and the black lip just doesn't really work for me but this bumper isn't terrible like a stock 350z bumper.


Overall this car is amazing and a sick Street Drifter

What's wrong with this Ferrari 458?

IMG_6932

The Auto Opinion
What most people fail to realize when they do a color scheme of their car is the actual art of it all.

Like this Ferrari here. It's a mildly dark chrome blue color. But it has black rims on it. That's the issue I have.

You can't have a dark car with dark colored rims on it. Of course there are exceptions such as gold rims and black on black. But usually like this it just doesn't work. For this car since it's mildly dark I would get mildly dark rims such as a metallic gray.

I'm not saying this car is bad I mean it looks great! It could be so much better though. If I have a maroon colored car I'm not going to put black rims on it. It's just ugly. I'm going to put alloy colored or even white or chrome.

Chrome rims and alloy rims, since they're not really color, don't have this rule apply to them.

Please if your car is dark get light rims. It doesn't necessarily work the other way too. You can have a light colored car with light rims. Everyone just remember your color schemes when it comes to your ride.

White and Black Bentley Continental GT

IMG_6926

The Auto Opinion

This Bentley looks like it was professionally done and I apologize to anyone who is offended.

The Bentley isn't the best and isn't the worst. I've seen yellow on chrome rims and some stuff people do to these Bentleys are just hideous.

The first impression I got was unpleasant. I didn't enjoy the awkwardly places pin striping on the side. That ruined the whole car for me. The whole car is ruined just because of some lines.

I'm not the only one who feels this way either. It's just an ugly looking design.

What I do like is everything else. The hood looks amazing. The bumper and diffusers are on point. And I just love the spoiler. The wheels aren't bad either.
They ruined this perfectly good Continental GT for some stripes.

What I would've done is done everything they did but instead of any decals I would just wrap or paint the whole car matte white with all the darker panels already on. It would've been done and looked awesome. Or if I could a metallic gray. They just ruined this car and it is a dissapointment.

What's wrong with V-TEC?

IMG_6893

What do we think of VTEC?
A lot of people think all Honda owners are idiots, ricers, or douche bags but that's not necessarily true.

Many Honda owners know how to properly treat their car and how to drive them. Yes many of them are loud and annoying but every now and then you get a super clean one like this hatch here.

Hondas aren't always slow either. Many of them are fast with all their mods and turbos and things of that nature.

How can you hate a whole brand of car just from the drivers?
Honda isn't a bad car brand at all. Reliable and efficient. I belive the whole modding Hondas was just from everyday workers wanting an efficient car and not wanting a boring one so they made it not boring.

What's the worst thing to do on a Honda?

The "Fart" can exhaust. The thick exhaust tip which makes the ugliest noise on most Hondas. It just sounds bad and looks bad. Get a good real exhaust because that is just horrible.

Lowered Hondas in my opinion look great. They aren't ugly or stupid looking. A lot of people can do it right and they do it cheap.

Hondas are great cars and they can be great mod cars too. VTEC is part of Hondas sport engines which boosted the engine. Most engine swaps will have a VTEC engine.

VTECs are awesome! These cars aren't bad at all. Just sometimes the owners get out of hand. The owners are the ricers not the car

Fan Submission:1

Processed with VSCOcam with g3 preset

Processed with VSCOcam with g3 preset

IMG_6886

IMG_6885

This is our first ever fan submission. I was asked to rant on this car to help the owner make it better.

For starters the first thing I see is the height and the wheels. It's way too high for these wheels the gap between the wheels and the car is way too big. When you have aftermarket rims you must lower your car atleast a little bit.

The Subwoofers are a good fit. Way better than most installs I've seen where the box is out and wires are everywhere.

I like the licsene plate. I don't know what 694 but the "BYE" is comical.

At first glance the whole car looks stock besides the rims. He has painted the brake calipers but the exterior pretty much remains the same.

Auto Suggestions
1. Lowering springs/ Coilovers
2. Repaint to a non-stock color
3. If you can new rims
4. Exhaust tips
5. Bolt ons

2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO

IMG_6877

2015 NISMO 370Z

Nissans "Z" line has always been RWD sport coupes. Ever since the late 80s nissan has been making their sport coupes better and better.

Now their best is the Nismo edition 370Z. It comes with a 3.7L V6 Aluminum Alloy. Applying 350hp and 276torque.

Nismo puts on Key esthetic features such as aluminum panels, new bumper and spoiler design, and LED day time running and illuminated Z logo.

0-60: 4.9 seconds
1/4 Mile: 13.9 seconds.
Starting: $45,490

The Auto Opinion
I have always loved and probably always will love the Z line from Nissan. They're iconic drift stars from the very beginning. These things are awesome. They didn't always have Nismo versions though. Nismo is a division like M for BMW or AMG for Mercedes. When you buy a sports coupe you expect everything from speed to handling. This car does not have enough speed to cost $45,000 at all. A 2015 Mustang GT with 430hp only cost $32,000 and could destroy this car. Honestly I do not predict many of these on the road because they are definitely not the best option for sport.

VW GOLF Slammed

IMG_6864

The Auto Opinion


This cars set up is clean. It's low cambered just right. I don't know if it's static or bagged but either way it's low and a good low.

I love that it's a 2-door hatchbacks. It's just sporty and nice. The fenders have been flared and have been done properly.

What I do not like are the rims. I don't like the convex pop out deep dish style or rims. If the wheels were concave or just normal deep it would look fine.

I get if you want to do make the rims the same color as your car but not on this color. Light gray? Why? It's so boring looking and with the chrome it just doesn't look right.

Slammed GW Golf

2004 Ford Mustang Cobra

IMG_6852

The Auto Opinion

I really like this car. I usually hate the way these things look because they're everywhere and the more popular a car is the more ricers it will attract. But this isn't bad.

I would've usually hated the color combo with gray on black but it's not bad at all. With the staggered wheels deep in the back it looks clean.

I'm not a big fan of this bumper but it's not horrible. These things stock I think had more than 300hp and now people get them up to 1000+. I doubt this engine is stock. I assume around 500hp is what people get them to now a days with more than just bolt ons.

Slammed 350z

IMG_6844

There are things that depress me and things that impress me on this car.

The Auto Opinion

Color
For starters let's talk about this color. 350zs come orange stock so why get a matte version that looks like the stock color? It just looks ugly either way.

Camber/Wheels
Probably the best thing on this car is the stance and wheels. It's sitting pretty low. Negative camber is good. The deep dish wheels are awesome.

The body
350zs front bumpers are so bad stock. They just look really bad. They're so boring and usually people replace them. But no, this guy didn't. At least he put a lip on it but it's not enough.

The wide body fenders are good! Makes the car sit pretty.

That's really all I have to say about this Stanced Nissan 350z

Bagged BMW 535i Gold

IMG_6836

The Auto Opinion
Gold Wrap? On a 5-series? I'm not so sure how I feel about this. It looks good.

Bagged
Bagged as mentioned before is air-ride suspension. This can make the car all the way to the floor. As seen here it looks awesome and is the new low style of cars. You can raise the car to the normal height, drop it to the floor, or anything in between.

Wheels
I believe it's on Vossens which make the car 10x better with modern car standards. Vossens are the way to car with the Luxury Sedans.

I like this car. But I feel like I would love it if it wasn't gold!

Gold Bagged 535i

Slammed M3 Cambergang

IMG_6827

This Cambergang BMW M3 is gorgeous. But what is right and what is wrong on this car?

The Auto Opinion
The Camber: The Low
This car is lowered just right. It's super low. I have never seen an M3 this low. People have gotten close but not close enough. The camber just makes look even better. A slammed M3.

The Lights
As I've mentioned before on BMWs the Halos are key to make the car look good. Here we are with these halogen headlights. Big fan of them.

The Color
The white is fine. It's just a little boring. If you're going to have a slammed car might as well make it interesting. But it's not bad

The Bumper
I would've done the same thing with the license plate by putting it to the side. Just a style that originated in Japan. Now I don't know if this bumper was stock but it seems like on the sides there should be intakes like on the modern M3s. It just looks weird with them covered up.

Big Wang Subaru

IMG_6818

If you're not familiar the term "big wang" just means big wing as in the spoiler on the car. There's things I like and don't like on this black on black Subie aka Subaru.

The Auto Opinion

Color scheme
You have a Subaru Impreza WRX and you're going to make it black on black? The most basic scheme of them all. As I mentioned before it's going out of style and doesn't match the new era of cars. Just look at car marketing. The ads don't have black on black cars anymore because the auto makers are getting it. They know how the trends are set and make their cars according to that.

The Wing
I love this spoiler. If you want to put a huge spoiler on any AWD sedan car go for it! Just make sure it looks clean. With the style now of building race car like cars there's no wing to big and no wing too small.

The Wheels
If you take a closer look these wheels aren't bad at all. They're nice clean looking wheels. Just putting them with a black on black doesn't look as good as they could be.

Over all
The rear bumper matches the WRX quad exhaust nicely. The Sun Blockers don't really work for me. They aren't that big of a deal though. The stickers on the rear window are a nice touch. Not too much. I'm so glad that this guy/gal didn't black out the tail lights too. Do not do that ever! It's not the style and hasn't been for years.

Street Drift 4

IMG_6794

Just can't help it! Our 4 street drift post!

The Auto Opinion
Street drift cars are probably the coolest things ever. They look super clean and you can have fun. Usually it's one or the other but not here.

This green 240sx Silvia(means not a hatch) is done to perfection.

Camber/Wheels
The wheels are done just right. This is one of those rare occasions when you can have bright white rims and make it look clean. The camber isn't so much to where it's a crazy amount but enough to drift with.

Roof Rack
I'm a big fan of roof racks and on this car it just matches everything. It just fits. It doesn't look out of place.

The color
I guess you could say the color is the only fault or the stickers on the window but the color is fine with me. It looks great. I know some people will hate on it and with the stickers saying its a ricer but this car is far from it

E92 M3

IMG_6793

Why is this car so awesome?

The Auto Opinion
There are many key aspects that make this E92 M3 a great car.

M3
First off it's an M3. This is a front mounted V8 with RWD. Of course this car is going to be cool, And it's a Bmw.

Widebody
As we've said many times before. Wide body is amazing. It cost a lot and is a lot of work but once it's done it looks something like this. It's not bad at all!

Front diffuser
The front diffuser just adds to the wide body sport look. It ties the front end together to make the whole body stand out.

The Halos
These halos are amazing. I don't know if they're stock or not but on a Bmw, halos are key to make it look good. During the day or night halos look good. They give the car the signature look.

The rims
I don't know what the rims are and I'm not going to pretend like I do. They are the right color and the right size. They're deep dish which looks nice and kind of a must with a wide body car.

The color
I'm almost 100% sure this isn't the stock color. They have to repaint the whole car anyways when they put the fender flares on it. This yellow may not be the basic M3 or bmw color. But with this car it looks perfect.

Everything just ties together to make an awesome car.

This F-Type

IMG_6776

I know we said that the F-Type wasn't worth it. Everything pointed out to it not being a fit car. But I forgot all about the aesthetics.

Look how great this car looks. I do not know what color this is. Like a goldish orange. I like it! It looks awesome on this car.

The headlights are a great compliment to the rest of the car. With this wrap(I think it's a wrap). You can really visualize the intakes on the front bumper.

I wouldn't have left those wheels. I would probably do some 5-spoke alloy or black wheels.

That's the only flaw I can spot on this beautiful Jaguar F-Type Coupe.

Maserati Quattroporte S/GTS

IMG_6770

To me this is one of the best looking high class sedans on the market. It's just different from the normal Bmw,Mercedes, Audi situations.

Engine: twin-turbo V6 3.0L
Top speed: 177mph
0-60: 5.1 seconds
Transmission: 8-spd auto
Price: $106,900

Then there's the GTS with a 523hp V8 starting at $140,500. Going 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and having a top speed of 182mph. For $30,000 more I don't see why not?!

The Auto Opinion
The V6 model of this car is just out of the question. I don't think anyone should just by the S when you can have the GTS. This sedan is faster than a M BMW 750Li. Probably one of the fastest sedans at the moment. It doesn't look bad either. Since its Maserati it'll sound good aswell.

Street Drift

IMG_6767

The Auto Opinion
Here's another perfect street drift car. It's a mid 90s Nissan 240SX.

From its decals to its license plate I can't find anything wrong with this car.

The body kit to me is just right. It's perfect for drifting. It's a signature style of drifting body kit. Has an awesome spoiler. I don't care if it's "too high" it's great. The roof spoiler is cool too not the greatest cause it angles upwards too much but not bad at all.

I am a very big fan of the license plate. It's just a funny way of showing that the car can drift.

The rims, I can't tell what they are but in the dark they don't look bad. There's not too many decals all riced up so it looks fine.

Not a crazy amount of negative camber.
If you want to build a street drift car do it like this.

BMW i8

IMG_6761

The Auto Opinion
This car looks great, yes. But is it worth it really? Is it worth the second looks and the price tag?

This car has two engine that are electric and gas. Which makes it a hybrid of course. The gas has the be fueled and the electric has to be charged so not the best hybrid system. Of course you can use the gas to run the electric but it doesn't charge as much as it should.

The car should be around $130,000 but people right now are purchasing them for $200,000 for their rarity. Which to me is just not right.

Since its a hybrid it has to be somewhat heavier than its competitors. Which makes it slower. It's fastest 0-60 is 3.8. I know you're thinking that it's fast but for $200,000? It's not fast enough. Again as I say a 1000hp GT-R for $200,000 would destroy this car in a straight line. A Ferrari 458 would destroy this car in a straight line.

The only reason you buy this car is for the looks. The stock rims are just not my thing. All the rims you can buy with this car are just not fit for it. Bmw is trying to make it as modern looking as possible but not everything can be modern
