Martin12345678910 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 what parts dont need it then and what parts will look good with chrome? what things does it need and what would look good on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuff_luv_capo Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 de-chrome the mirrors and trim, and tone down the brightness of chrome on the grill/bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adz Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Estate cars = No Pimp Its like a soccer mom crashed into the West Coast Customs garage. De-Chrome it like everyone else said, it'll look alot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyzar Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 i love the idea not the best mod-job i ever saw but it's a nice start and has potential (heh, i still have an old Regina Ricer model somewhere in the depths of my archives, never got around to finishing it. lemme know if you want it, might be useable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommiegunz Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Estate cars = No Pimp Its like a soccer mom crashed into the West Coast Customs garage. De-Chrome it like everyone else said, it'll look alot better. Sorry, no offence, but: You are going with the crowd. At least, that's my opinion, if you don't like estate's. Fine. I don't realy bother, but people are almost always negative about estates. Why? What is so special about a pimped sedan? Nothing, to be quite honest. And refered to the West Coast Custom thingy. I will watch a show when it isn't a "regular" car. It is, in that way, almost unseen anywhere else, what makes it special. Anyhow back on topic: Like the version of the Reggie. Good job on the rear light, but what TLC said, chrome overload. A little less chrome (in my opinion) is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirCooled Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I qiute like the concept, i don't mind estate cars really they can look pretty good and have not been done to death like many other cars been. Things i would do: Sort out that chrome, because to be honest it looks bum (though may look a little better with Asdexx's GFX Hack) chrome is difficuly in SA but can also look nice when done properly, for the BEST examples see Harlequin's buick custom and Woofi's Ford Pickup custom. I'm going to say the oppsite to everyone else and suggest loading evenmore chrome onto it (if you can get it looking better) the whole point in these things are that they look over the top isn't it? Get rid of darkened windows, they look a bit dodgey in my opinion. next some styling suggestions ( although i may have the wrong idea of where the mod is going so bear with me) Probably remove the spoiler Tuck the wheels right inside the arches and slam the suspension. Then take advantage of the rear by loading it with I.C.E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineGTR33 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hey, to the dude hatin on wagons, THEY ARE PIMP.

Nipa Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Even though the balance is changing now.. still.. the CHROME IS HORRIBLE! Bring it down.. a lot.. Only add such chrome when you know where to put it and how.. atm, it's shabby... Yes, I am a anti-chromist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mothership Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 what is the point of the big wheels and the spoiler? being that this is a front wheel drive car, it would only slow the car down. next off, why are you calling it a dragster? i've seen (made) faster mananas.

Faze Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Personally I think spoilers on the back of wagons is quite overrated. It's a nice mod, this... really shiney. Too shiney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 what is the point of the big wheels and the spoiler? being that this is a front wheel drive car, it would only slow the car down. next off, why are you calling it a dragster? i've seen (made) faster mananas. Big wheels, two reasons: 1. Like altering a gear ratio and can give higher top end without any mechanical changes. 2. The biggest reason, bigger wheels suffer less high speed tyre deterioration than small wheels. Less chance of a blow out or worse, rim detonation when racing. Spoiler: Front wheel drive cars also suffer rear wheel traction loss at high speed and through cornering. So they still have thier uses. As far as the model is concerned: Sort out the chrome and probably pretty much go with what AirCooled stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler: Front wheel drive cars also suffer rear wheel traction loss at high speed and through cornering. So they still have thier uses. As far as the model is concerned: Sort out the chrome and probably pretty much go with what AirCooled stated. nope. from wikipedia on "rice burner": With FF/front wheel drive cars, a rear spoiler serves no other purpose than cosmetic, as the resulting downward force on the rear of the car will reduce downforce on the front of the car, lowering power and traction. Additionally, the largest spoilers have negligible effect until the car is driven at a very high speed. Furthermore, many wings used are not tuned in windtunnels, and are not useful even at high speeds; they may cause excessive drag and wind noise as well. Excessively large wheels ("rims") (for example chromed, or "dubs") that often decrease acceleration due to higher rotational inertia. Handling is also often made worse by the extra unsprung weight. Spinner wheel covers, which result in the wheels appearing to rotate either slower or faster than reality. These can be dangerous if improperly maintained, and also increase unsprung weight.

If he removes the horrid chrome it will look alot better. Mmmk? Theres nothing special about a pimped sedan your right. So why are you posting the answer thus making this a totally worthless question? And why in gods name do you type like this? The WCC was a joke, i dont know if you know the term joke. I suggest you look it up, if you dont. Jeez, anyway de-chrome it, it will look alot better and should blend in more with the game and try to move the back wheel in a bit more and see if you can lower the car.

Dup Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think you should let people have their own opinion and leave them be. It's not doing you any harm. So, please drink a mug of shut the f*ck up or harass them by PM and send them email virus', just as long as it's not being spammed up in here.

Grant Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Looks great, bit too much chrome (but i'm sure you're tired hearing that). I think the rear wheels are sticking out a little too much unless that's the style you're aiming for. Keep up the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin12345678910 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thats it im gonna take the chrome off the petrol cap try to remove the panels on the side put the back wheels where they were increase the back wheel size and try to get them wider im leaving the chrome on the front end and exausts im gonna take out the air ride thing put the nos tank down a bit since it doesent attach to the floor change the interior fix my handeling drop it and make it a lowered beast with a v8 engine maybe even a turbo and intercooler and then we will see if it is good then and this was my first go i dont do much modeleling but i am now the nrg500 was a failed project and yeh im gonna do all that soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh pwner Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 i don't personally like it. the mods and the base car arn't really that good, or pleasing to the eye. a FWD station wagon with "30 inch rear wheels and rubber band tyres? WTF? if anything, that car would handle worse, have sh*ttyer acselleration, and a higher devorce rate than a standard estate car. your modeling skills are good, i'll give you that, but the car sucks (RICE!).
