Needs to be lowered.

Rims are whack.

I hate CF that's unpainted especially a whole front in.

I love S3 magazine. Great pics!
However, the fact that your sponsor owns part of the mag certainly didnt hurt your chances for getting in the mag.

I can't believe how many REALLY ugly 240s have been featured in magazines lately. It is insane.

primer paint jobs are *Censored**Censored**Censored* as well.

im not digging the cheapo wheels and unpainted carbon fenders..i can deal with the hood, but not the fenders.

but hey, everyone's taste is different.

TopHat has nothing to do with S3 and hasn't for months. Cooper tires also had a say in the winner. Does TopHat have ownership with them too?

Heh actually, new ownership has that magazine. My brother sold out of that magazine months ago. Matter of fact, Codys car was in conention with this one for the cover, clearly he had a much bigger inside connection being part owner. Cooper tires chose who they wanted, don't crap on his day. You are bigger than that Chris.

To A.I.
As for being lowered, the fenders had to be rolled to get the tires in there. Maybe you mean the car needs a body kit to LOOK lower. If you think a body kit makes a Drift car, you need to step back and rethink things through. I like the front END on that car.

Different tastes for different people. I've driven and slid that car and it rocks. Cheapo wheels be damned, that thing gets it done.

no kidding? So does Cody still have ownership in it or is his still just the art director? (I don't get to talk to those guys much anymore). Any why did Cooper Tires make the final call?
Personally... I like the car. Its one of the best projects to come out of THP.

+1, not a fan of the CF fender

probably +1 to Brian's remark about lame 240's in magazines but I stopped my subscriptions except R&T and MT

Hey its better than my car though...

um, okay.

I'm glad you have some kind of personal problem with me.
I never did anything to you but I have an idea of what is going on here... and if my idea is right, oh god...

You're right though, I can't buy style.
My car just looks like a big piece of crap.
That is why I am taking it all apart and selling it.

I'm glad you like S3 it is a cool mag. The pics are great. However Tophat doesn't have anything to do with S3 and the only car that Tophat sponsors belongs to Marcos Ruiz. Check Marcos out at the next Drift Fury tearing it up. I don't know if Cody has stake in the mag or not. Let me say he was not entered in this Cooper tires thing. He couldn't do that. The car is in the mag because it won a contest put on by S3 and Cooper. I'm glad you like the car. That was what this thread was for. I don't know why you felt you had to add the rest. Anyway thanks.

Thanks for your opinion. That last post sounds like it came from a soap opera or something though.

Thanks for your opinion. Just curious why it is okay to have a nonpainted carbon hood but not the fenders. The gray paint matches the carbon fiber pretty well bare. Thanks again.

Yea Cody is still a part of it. Jonathon and some private guy have the rest.

But Robert, forum hacks will always be trash talkers. It's better than any of the crap they attempt to drive so I wouldn't worry about what a few retards on the forum say.

You retarded fock.

He ask what we thought about it and I gave my opinion.

The *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ing car is shitty and it looks like *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*. Unpainted CF are not cool especially a goddamn fender. Oh let me guess, its lighter right? Get the fock outta here.

Those wheels are hideous, reminds me of 1999 when you find wheels at the junkyard, rock them cause that's the only thing you can find.

You can 4x4 with that car.

and I've never seen such a tacky s15 conversion.

now go kill yourself.
