Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]

Some in here will hate this even despite the level of work that goes into a Chip Foose car, personally, it's nice to see him putting his style into something a bit different.

Love this .... apart from the rear lights as they make it look like a Corvette.

Wheels are too big, also don't like the air scoop, so very nearly there

Exactly my thoughts. Overwheeled, scoop looks idiotic and I don't like the rear lights. The rest is pretty much bob on.

I like the interior, apart from the old jacket!

Wheels ruin the whole look. I'm not a fan of wires in any size though.

I love that, even the scoop. Agree on the wheels being too big diameter. And horizontal Jag rear lights would be better. Where do I sign?

I don't have a pic but damn this thing is the complete package

Not sure it's the same one, but someone has one in Readers' Cars.

Agreed.

The intake I can live with, the rear lights didn't really need messing with, but hey.

...but ribbon-profiles on 20"s (bigger?) with a fake-retro look to them??? Just screams 'trying too hard!'.

There's a tuner E-Type in the UK running similarly comical wheels with a similar drop, and again it just looks wrong. The curvaceous, tucked-under flanks need some air under them to look right, and to preserve the lithe, athletic shape of the car...and modern ultra-big wheels and ribbon tyres just don't work on any classic. Even the re-inventions of the Stratos and Integrale haven't gone the full show-car...

Pretty sure that is another one, non US based.

This car was unveiled a while ago....it’s Chip Foose and it’s American. It was always going to have ridiculous oversize, chrome wheels....I don’t get it, you don’t get it, but it’s what they do!
I think they overstepped the mark on this one, the E-type Roadster is THE most beautiful car ever made. Modifying it will always make it worse!

[RB Will]

I think the last few fall into the probably done with great craftsmanship and quality but not really to everyones taste category.

Yep, so badly modified. IMO

There won't be a car to everyone's taste, somebody will always not like something, and vice versa, somebody will like something most people find terrible.
