Greetings /o/,

I come from >>>/cgl/
We cosplay over there. What's /o/'s thoughts on car "cosplay" or just cars modified to look like cars from TV shows or movies.

Pic very related
>>
Usually disgusting and does nothing but give the person an excuse to put "LOOKS LIKE CAR XX FROM XYZYC!!!" in the Craigslist ad when the inevitably sell the thing. Modifications are half-assed and ugly and often compromise the car to the point it can't feasibly be brought back to stock.
>>
>>15452468
its pointless
and its rare that cars are even modified that much in the media they appear in unless you're going to cosplay the same fucking shit everyone else does

cars are already beautiful looking, why ruin them
>>
>>15452530
>>15452506
I often see look-alike cars at conventions being shown off. Does anyone know if they do that for fun or they get paid gigs to do stuff like that?

Youtube for reference I guess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Ax2uey9yk

Fucking disgusting. All of them. And go back to >>>/cgl/

really stupid, I don't know why idiots think that it adds value to the car when they try to sell it when in fact it worsens it in most cases.

Depends on what the car is a replica of, and how well the work was done. Some are pretty neat, but a lot are overdone at this point.

Loved that Mobile Command Center when i first saw it as a kid, still love the design. Its basically a badass offroad mil spec trailer that would be perfect for desert. Hell, id take the trailer it pulls and pull it with my own truck.

Also someone actually bought one of the command centers that was made and is restoring it to drive it around the country and show it off. (or at least trying, they had started a gofundme). Its on youtube.
>>

Fiero or an mr2 would be a cheap base

>>15453345
I know. I stopped watching that when The dumbass French dude turned on the trailer brake and cooked the transmission

>>15453354

I honestly forgot about the videos and had no idea that happened.

link?

I'm not sure. It was the second or third video, when they first move it.

Neat design. Kind of uninspired, though.
Reminds me of the APCs from Aliens.

Taking a rare car and ruining it is bad.

>>15453182

Taking a common car and having fun with it is acceptable.
>>
>>15452468
If you're doing it for you then by all means do what you want and enjoy yourself.

If you're doing it for others or attention (you mentioned cosplay and conventions so this is most likely to be true) then you are a stupid fuck and will most likely piss all your expendable money away and regret every decision you made.

You either have prop cars that companies pay the owners for driving it in a movie or whatever, then you have "show cars" that promote a shop/service. So, no.

Pretty gay for useless mods.
But a '69 Charger painted like the General Lee wouldn't be too bad I guess.

There were plenty of '68s modified to look like '69's for General Lee.

Looks better than what you posted too.

Now that makes me sad.

I respectfully disagree, but I can see the appeal of the split grille.

Nah, don't get me wrong I prefer '68s myself.

Not a fan of those wheels and the hood though.

Damn, that's exactly how a Charger should be.
I hate how people put low-profile tires and massive chrome wheels on classic muscle cars nowadays. They need some sidewall, you know?
>>
>>15456023
Yeah, call me old fashioned but I don't like anything bigger than 15's on old muscle cars.

Give me 60-75 on the aspect ratio.

I like movie car replicas. However the only car that I aspire having in my garage someday and which has had significant movie roles is the Austin Mini, and I'd rather do up that one in a Rally Monte Carlo style than in a The Italian Job style.

What I also like are cars made to look like movie cars but they're not even the same model as in the movie which makes it not only impossible but also useless to make everything 100% accurate and therefore gives you more room for interpretation.

In fact this one would've probably been a better Ghostbusters car than the actual Ghostbusters car in the new Ghostbusters movie (not that it would've saved this turd of a flick).
>>
>>15456047
that's how the hood is held down.
>>
as long as it's done well, i don't see why not.
at least it's not another stance shit or ricemobile.

also this
>>15456074

this is fucking great

>>15453337
>In the pic you showed its gay most deloreans left on the road are time machines.

nothing wrong with that
these pieces of shit are significant only because of the movie, otherwise they would be completely forgotten

what? do you think stock deloreans are cool?
guess what, it's because of the movie
and that's even if you didn't watch it, because back to the future rooted deep in pop-culture and you got influenced without even knowing
