No one said I have good taste but I do dearly love the late 90s early aughts tuning scene. That means this pushes all the right buttons.

The Liberty Walk Performance kit (yeah, the same guys who make the widebody kits for Ferrari 458s and Lamborghini Murcielagos) for the Challenger is pretty sweet

I thought the Liberty Walk one was too organic (yea I think Liberty Walk wasn't brazen enough on the Challenger.) This one is from Edge Customs.

I'm entranced by winglets and various aero bits. Which happens to be why a TCP Magic G-Face RX7 is also on my much want list.

I also want to do this. I want to add underbody LED's as well so that 90's boy racer me can be truly happy. These cars prove that there is a part of me that has never grown up.

Not sure if I have ever seen box flares with the bottom half cut off, before...

Actually the only part about that car I don't like is the flares, they're oddly shaped yet too traditional to get away with the "doesn't exactly fit" look you see on TRA Kyoto or Liberty Walk flares.

You know, everything looks better with box flares...

That would have looked awesome running around Daytona for 24 hours.

That car is only appealing sitting still or for someone who lives where there are absolutely no road imperfections....or does it have air shocks?

I see it and I see what looks like unfinished ill fitting flares and an apparently broken suspension.

The company's website has pictures of it running around southern California. It's definitely on air.

I've never really been an "American muscle car guy" per say. I love cars and I really love modified cars but I've always trended towards imports because of the brash styling and blatant expressions of individuality. They have to be well executed though, sticker bombs, flat black hoods, and wood screws in poorly manufactured body kits need not apply.

The "car guy" circles I'd occasionally interface with really tended to look down on modifications which were "because it exists" since GM/Ford/Chrysler didn't spec it that way. Of course, a lot of these same people thought that the height of engineering prowess in muscle cars was the 426 carbureted hemi.

The Japanese pro-touring look I really dig simply because it flies in the face of that attitude with these cars.

Of course, I thought the 2005 Daytona Prototypes were pretty. An opinion that would likely get me killed in the infield now days.
