visual contest? i thought this was featured CAR of the month, not featured exterior of the month.

i guess you missed the rest of my mod list. sorry i have a chip foose style of modification and do things to the car to keep a stock looking appearance until you park it next to a stock car and realize how different it truly is. i guess maybe some people are just in to body kits and euro lights and flashy wheels. roof racks and carbon fiber and spoilers. etc etc..

Please don't assume. I didn't miss anything on any mod list. Chip foose? Really?

While I do love my carbon fiber SS hood, I don't like the rest of the things you mentioned. I agree with your oem approach at modding. I try to do the same. I wasn't saying it to be negative. Do you think ppl voted because your car stands out or because it's fast? Let's be honest. I'm not trying to be a jerk just trying to understand ppl point of view

Well yea it is a visual contest and I see now it is treated like one. Everyone see power and votes for it. Even you horsepower guys shld be allowed to be FCOTM. Less rice more oem!

I think you modded better than chip foose. i like his work it's just sometimes it's small details he shld leave out but like we all know. Can't please everyone. I wouldn't say ur all power. Just more performance than visual.

I won't vote for Mark cause he already won once(maybe twice?), let someone else get the title for a month. Nothing personal just the way it is..

Hey when did you pick up the new wheels? looking great dude.

I wish everyone would quit fighting, My car makes mid 400s hp and I lost FCOTM, Team_ss did the same thing for a few months, he has similar HP to me and he lost. Its just FCOTM, stop fighting and move on.

Other than my CF, my car looks mostly stock as well until its next to another balt and then its obvious.

Exactly look how stock looking my car is, even got the highrise still. The interior is stock except for gauges, no need to do any interior crap in my feeling cuz there isn't much to be done, and my car makes 400+ and i turn the boost down for daily use when i drive it when i aint working if someone is hating i turn the bitch up. raced a 2012 5.0 supercharged mustang and only lost by 2 cars not to bad i'd say but it was pretty close until i shifted into 4th

Threw my vote to MP Cobalt. Exsoccer yours is legit, nobody can touch it. I cream just thinking about it at night, but I'm really impressed by MP's.

With submissions like this, I can never hope to win this contest.

Great cars guys.
