Well you posted up that terrible mod for comment, and my opinion is it's the single worst i8 mod I've ever seen.

Well done. Quite an achievement

Did dinmancf do this for you as a custom wheel or was this something they had in stock? I considered picking up a salvage wheel and doing some carbon skinning. Not necessarily a top-delete, but something similar with the rest of the wheel.

It was custom but he has plenty of orders now that this is making the rounds on Instagram.

You can say this is about me and my "terrible" mod, but we both know from looking at your post history you don't like aggressive mods period.

I like aggressive mods that improve a car, and hate those that make it worse. Really as simple as that.

So I really liked the paddle shift mod posted a few days ago. I had the opposite view of your steering wheel mod, which makes the car much worse to drive.

An example of far more aggressive modding to my own car:



Pretty much everything is modded: replacement engine, supercharger, charge cooler, suspension, wheels, brakes, tyres, body components, aero, seats, steering wheel, instruments etc etc.

Bottom line is the car is 10% lighter than stock but more than 2x the power, with significantly enhanced parts. Faster, corners much better, stops much better, much higher downforce.

That's proper "aggressive" modding

Poor modding is chopping 1/3 of the steering wheel off.

You both have terrible taste in my humble opinion- but do what you will with your money and be done with it

Perhaps, but I sold it for precisely 50% more than I bought it for (including mod costs)

(Mods on that car were all performance related, not aesthetic.)

That's great.

Either way, enthusiast do what they feel like doing with their cars. Some will like it, other will shake their heads. Making money off it is icing on the cake, typically not the case......
