Default Impossible to style cars.

Do you think there are some cars that it is impossible to style?

I would say that exotic cars like the KTM bow, Arial atom, Ferrari and Lamborghini would all look daft if you tried to add "styling" parts to them.

Do you agree that some cars just look too cool to be improved with some styling mods?

Super cars can't really be styled because you take away the style that comes with the car. Other cars can only be styled in certain ways as well.

How about...

Are there any cars that don't need styling because they look so good as standard? I've always liked the lines and curves of a Porsche. How about everyone else?

no every car can be syled like herb says its impossible for eveyone to like the look of a car.

christ you can get bodykits for DB9s which look stuning to me

only things like the atom dont require styling pretty much as theres no bodywork on them

interior in an atom is the seats and a bit of a dash. granted the engine dress up might be an idea as most of its on show. wheels ad prob leave as it be designed as a track car there bount to be set up as lightweight ones an wouldnt want to upset the handleing by loading up the suspension with heavier ones

What about a classic car? Should it be restored or modernised and styled as well?
