I was merely asking for opinions.

The difference there, however, is that they are trying to imitate a production car - not someone else's ideas/ride. I mean, if the SRT8 came out with all those options then I'd see the reason behind it. I'm more curious as to what people think about others stealing someone else's creativity & originality.

You couldn't tell the difference between the two if they were parked next to each other. I guess my main point is, I'd be ****ed if I had an original theme (show-car style - yes both of them have been in "shows" as far as I'm aware) and someone else copied all my exterior mods.

PS: Some funny calls gozza hahah :

Ive got a great idea, , and Im sure its not going to copy anyone !

I am going to get a WRX, , and repaint it a pearl colour, , , then add some "chiptorque" or " dynodynamics" stickers to it..... Then add a 10" tacho on the dash.... oh and BIG chrome wheels...

Has anyone seen a WRX like that, , , I dont want to copy anyone else ?


OR

I was thinking a VT commodore, , with it lowered, , mags, , a cheap HSV kit. Then I was going to get HSV stickers for the back window, , , and then drive around in Queensland summer with my hat backwards and the windows down....

has anyone seen that, , I dont want to copy ?

thanks
