This is a really a great conversation and a great place to have it. I see a few cool points being made here. First off let's just get it out of the way right now, I LOVE the ever rising tide of the custom bodywork trend. And when someone gets it right, these cars seem to truly represent an evolution of pro touring and resto modding. Will they go out of style eventually? Maybe. The real answer to that is who knows. Hell in 30 years we may be riding in little automated flying drones. But imo the best ones being pumped out right now will never fall out of ascetic favor. They will most likely always have their place in time as the best of an era and will be viewed largely as successful visual concepts for decades to come. And even though most all have a ton of expensive tech thrown at them that obviously makes them worth more by default, if the styling is on point, it adds to the value, now, and over time. Yes old muscle cars look great in stock form sitting lower on a modern sized set of rollers. No one here would dispute that I think. But man when someone truly nails some great looking custom body mods, and especially incorporates functionality as has been the trend much as of late, I go nuts. Also, Someone said modern twist. That resonates with me in the sense that the winning designs in the biz mostly all have significant modern cues. They're starting to look more like amg benz's, Bentley, Ferraris, lambos, ford gt's, etc..with little roof depressions, air pass through's, diffusers, canards and splitters. I know that Overkill will always be overkill. But When it looks right, and especially when it's something functional, I just love it. I know some don't, however I truly think that's where it's headed for the foreseeable future. Deal with it
