Would you put this on your car?

Postby Evo_Girl » Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:08 pm

Hey guys. Well since i can't seem to find a place that sells metal Evo bonnets (well without asking for an arm and a leg) I found this that you just add onto your bonnet.

Image

My partner seems to think that it will look stupid but I don't think it looks that bad. I kind of like it. But he says that he has seen them on cars and that they don't look good. So since I haven't seen a car with something like this on and some of you prob have, In all honesty will it look stupid? and is it worth getting. I don't really want my car to look stupid LOL

I know in the end it's up to me but I don't want to waste money like I almost did on my body kit I had to get a refund on.

Thanks in advance for the help :)

Big no from me, especially if those fake grills are plain vinyl.
Looks like it doesn't match the contour of the bonnet perfectly either

Like you said, it's ultimately up to whether or not you like it.
But I'm going to have to vote no on this one too.

I kind of like it. = Your Wrong
He has seen them on cars and that they dont look good. = Correct
In all honesty will it look stupid? = Definitely Yes
And is it worth getting?. = Absolutely Not
I dont really want my car to look stupid LOL = It Will Look Stupid
I dont want to waste money like I almost did on my body kit. = Then Dont Buy It ... *doh*


Besides .... CCJ simply cant allow a young chick from the Coast to just willingly open up her front end with a Double B-[s]Cup[/s] Size Intake just because she feels HOT & wants to COOL OFF.

Or Can We .... :roll:

LOL ah Sam you crack me up. My partner better not read this as it might go to he's head (: see this is why I ask because I would have prob went and bought it and it would have looked stupid but looking at the picture Glenn posted it does look very stupid in deed so looks like a BIG no. Thanks but while we are in the subject does anyone know of you can actually customize your OEM bonnet at all?

Like that for instance?
