I personally prefer modded cars over standard which is why I'm looking for potential feature cars that are tastefully modified...

Got these ram tubes so my back lid can fit nice and snug with the body.

Car is being put back together after all the cancer was removed and there was lots of it. It started as a paint repair and ended as a bare metal respray. You just don't know what's under there till you start picking at it.
Now the rest of the work can begin.
