visual contest? i thought this was featured CAR of the month, not featured exterior of the month.i guess you missed the rest of my mod list. sorry i have a chip foose style of modification and do things to the car to keep a stock looking appearance until you park it next to a stock car and realize how different it truly is. i guess maybe some people are just in to body kits and euro lights and flashy wheels. roof racks and carbon fiber and spoilers. etc etc..

While I do love my carbon fiber SS hood, I don't like the rest of the things you mentioned. I agree with your oem approach at modding. I try to do the same. I wasn't saying it to be negative. Do you think ppl voted because your car stands out or because it's fast? Let's be honest. I'm not trying to be a jerk just trying to understand ppl point of view

Please don't assume. I didn't miss anything on any mod list. Chip foose? Really?

i already explained it but let me simplify it a bit more.
you said
as if the FCOTM is only about visual modifications. except i have done things besides horse power, quite a bit. and my process of going about it (as a quote by chip foose) "i think the best way to modify a car is to go about it in a way that still turns heads, but to where people don't realize what exactly is done until it is parked next to a car that is unmodified"
doesn't look all that different from stock now does it???
except when you factor in all this ****.

Well yea it is a visual contest and I see now it is treated like one. Everyone see power and votes for it. Even you horsepower guys shld be allowed to be FCOTM. Less rice more oem!
I think you modded better than chip foose. i like his work it's just sometimes it's small details he shld leave out but like we all know. Can't please everyone. I wouldn't say ur all power. Just more performance than visual.

I wish everyone would quit fighting, My car makes mid 400s hp and I lost FCOTM, Team_ss did the same thing for a few months, he has similar HP to me and he lost. Its just FCOTM, stop fighting and move on.
Other than my CF, my car looks mostly stock as well until its next to another balt and then its obvious.
