i'm w/ coomer on this...a lightly modified almost stock celica basically isn't good enough. take my car...i like it, a lotta people do, but i don't think it's worthy of being a featured ride. as was said, it's something to inspire, or something desired. by putting nearly stock, or completely stock cars as featured rides, it's almost like desensitizing the title of featured ride, and eventually, no one would care anymore. but..iono, if you guys wanna stock celica, or a celica w/ clear corner markers and an aftermarket CD player to be the featured ride...post a link.

me being blunt: i think making a lightly modded celica, or a stock celica the featured ride, is the stupidest idea i've ever heard of.

I added some stuff to my interior, do I get to be a featured ride now? >>

SoundSlut_dotcom

nice interior too bad its not a celica >>
btw - i dont believe stock celicas with nothing so great about them should be featured rides, it would defeat the purpose.. it wouldnt be fair to the guys who really put their heart and work into their car.. not just fill it with gas and put an air freshener in it. >> >> >> >>

Featured Rides should have a wow factor. Frotou's is a perfect example. When I saw that I was like whoa, I cant describe anything but whoa.

My thoughts I think some also said it

If it has the possibility to be FEATURED in a car magazine (key word)
And is well rounded exterior/interior/motor/etc

Of course this site only has a few guys like that but yes Frotou car is a good example
Interior done
Paint done
Wheels done
Engine really done
And more

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte

Frotou's car is a someting i have never seen on a celica thats why its great.
the invader kit played out.
my kit was cool now played out.
being custom is the only way to get people to notice your car.
also u mod a car for your own liking if other people dont like it big deal >>
like my gf think im dumb for getting that c-one hood. "black hoods are gay" w/e i like it >>

but i agree with coomer. why would u flaunt a stock car..... woowooo..
ill go buy one now for 4k.. not being a jerk but come on.

I wouldnt go as far as saying someone with an Invader kit shouldnt be a featured ride - yes its commonplace but if its part of a magnificent car then it should be just as worth taking a second to look at it.

isnt original example a hood that no one else has instead of coping a gt4 like creating a scoop design that is totally original. Like madmods body kit custom is nice not original but fresh its hard to go total custom kinda like doggy did IMAO

give it a little time more will go to c-one front bumpers i want to do something like what NeverStop did the supra front and rear but it all comes down to what you like.

You have to have $5000 worth of mods, which is about the only thing I don't like about this site.  >>

Some of us are happy with the way our cars came from the factory stock, so why change what we like. And if you check out all the featured rides so far, the list of mods added is longer than the list of parts I have had to replace on my stock Celica.

Maybe I should list everything I have replaced in my profile so my list is bigger and I can compete. >>

Dude.. I have over $5,000 in mods and I have never been featured...Mostly because I am a punk too! >>

i think a featured ride shoudl be something that stands out. it would be stupid to have a stock celica as a featured ride .. big whoop who hasent seen a stock celica. but cars like itchys, froutous, coomers, DMC, doggys, tufys and more are the caliber of a car worthy for featured ride. think of it this way . would u put a stock celicas picture on the front cover of import tuner....exactly

I haven't been a member for very long, so I can't really speak for everyone, but I feel a featured ride would have to be something that stands out and unique. It shouldn't be just something different to look at, but inspire people and get people to think of creative ideas. Compare it to the International Auto show. While a motor company is proud of their mass produced vehicles, the "runway" is for their concept cars that bring a different approach to vehicles. While there are many people with stock Celica's, there's nothing unique to be featured about them. It should get a person thinking about what they like about it, dislike, what they would do differently, how they would do something. While most of you won't become a featured ride, you must understand that it's to showcase those great thinkers who has dedicated lots of time, money, energy and thought into making something truely remarkable.
