Like it or not, extensive body mods are probably here to stay. Yes it's hard to get it right and easy to make it look funky, and I also agree that those two cars in particular have some weird looking areas that are not my favorite. But for everything out there that doesn't look quite right to me, I can think of another car thats been extensively body modded yet feels spot on visually. Ring Brothers, Ironworks, Foose, the Roadster Shop; all these guys have displayed heavily body modded cars at sema in the past five years that look amazing imo. In the end I think its important to take it all in context and understand that most of these cars are built to somewhat customer specs and personal preferences. If hot rod mag loves it, more power to these builders, but surely it's mostly about the customer satisfaction, not journalists, and not ours.
