Official January Ride of the Month

So here's the idea, cars will be rated on four seperate aspects: Exterior, Interior, Audio, and Performance. At the end of the month, the winner will be decided as a result of judge rating (which will be added as a cumulative score).

Example:

Exterior: 9.5/10
Interior: 7/10
Audio: 5/10
Performance: 8/10

Your score would be 29.5

Note: Stock gets rated on the condition it is in with a maximum of 7/10

The winner gets a box of e-cookies and bragging rights.

Judges (1st 4 other people that ask to be judges):

Car is pimpin, but (I'll get flamed for this) I really dislike those wheels. Those wheels look like cheap ones you can pick up anywhere. This is just my personal opinion. I think those are the worst wheels RonJon makes. A car that beautiful deserves some equally as tasty 3 piece wheels with dish. Someone pchop 3 piece devotions in chrome on that car and I would give it the best looking 3rd gen title!!!

Oh, and I think it would look better with blacked out tint and if you lost those wind deflectors.

AWESOME!!!! I think those wheels are the bomb. I like em! I'm thinking that Ron Jon setup would look great on my 06 Alabaster Silver. Probably the baddest looking TL I have seen.

I know I shouldn't post, but you're going to need to have moderator powers if you are gonna organize the thread, def a good idea with the rating and reasons besides each rating. Judges can get paid off right? lol.

Idea...

Ka0Tik,

Great idea for a thread. How about we have owners submit pics and info of their cars that would like to judged. Have a deadline to submit pics. Then once all the pics are submited set up a poll with the persons name. People can vote by clicking on the poll after refering to the info inside the thread to view the "contestant's" cars. Just an idea.......

Jrbn2g04AcuraTL:
exterior: 9.5 (the only things i would like to see is cleared/smoked lights and debadged)
interior: 7 (stock?)
audio: 7 (stock?)
performance: 8 (im giving it to you because the car looks lowered and wider wheels have something to do with performance)
= 31.5

i will rejudge this one if you have any performance, interior, or audio mods

Im a little bit less demanding in my style.. so I will just give each car a % rating.

blktl = 90%

comments: hot car, great style while not being over bearing. Have to get rid of the wind deflectors. Also a debadge and maybe painting your rear brakes black.


ctlgo = 85%

comments: paint match isnt the greatest, mesh is a little bit contrasting. wheels are the saving factor, they make the car. headlights need to be professionally smoked, the film isnt cutting it.


Jrbn2g04AcuraTL = 80%

comments: love the white, great body kit color match with the mesh. chrome insypres dont look great with the supplied acura center caps, i have the same ones and you need chrome caps. also paint the rear center section of your rj rear bumper black, way to much white. the wheels detract from the vehicle. on black they work, not feeling the white.


I am a very picky person sorry
