Needs wider tires. I bet some boggers or taller iroks would look okay.

The graphics are hideous though.

All those hours of hard work done, and tens of thousands of dollars spent, and then he put stick-on scoops on the hood? That ruins the car IMO

That's the best looking one I've seen yet. Still don't know why people do it. I wouldn't own it.

engine bay would look better without the overflow and washer tanks, and he needs to learn how to take photos!

All that work and i will bet money that it has never seen a decent mud hole. I hate it when people build 4x4s for show and never take them into the mud.

I don't see this having any value toward Detailing or Appearance other than another stupid flame war.
