Ruined a great car. I wouldn't modify a T Series if I owned one. Maybe just change the brake pads but that is it. I respect people who modify their car but this has gone over the line in my view.

I don't think it looks good, but I certainly do not have any problems with modifying a T-series, and nor do other T-series owners. They are only a car.....
Perfect base to start from in my opinion, but this fella went left field.......
