"themed dubs" whats your view?

[wag,en,volks]

im thinking of possibly doing something themed with me caddy,
what does everyone think of the "themed" cars (like taxis, surf rides,combat ,rats,etc),
I always like to see them and they prob get noticed more than a 20k show ride ,but im not convinced what they would be like to run day in day out
anyone got any experience of them or just your opinions,

what kinda theme u thinking about? i personally like em and when executed properly they look cool

not a fan of rat look, think it should be renamed shat look tbh but that just me. I think the caddy youv got there would look best if its just done nicely. A lot of caddy's iv seen at shows etc are not done very well so a really smart one would stand out a mile! drop it, re-trim it, give it some new shoes and send it on its way!S

In the end you are going to be the one that is going to be seen driving around in it, so its really up to you how much you want the attention or not. Personally i think that a surf-esq look would suit that better, and not require much modification bodywork wise. Possibly go two tone on it?? Nose down stance, and some nice bit of bling trim round the edges, on something like a set of 13s.

not a bad shout that slick! nice surf board rack in the back etc. could see that workin well!

 i think themed cars are a bit gash to be honest. not so bad if they are done in keeping with the age/style of the car but there's no point trying to make a mk5 "retro" for example.

what ideas did you have? that might help make a decision?

also themned cars tend to have a limited lifespan and if you go too far its hard to reverse when you want to change the design

I was thinking along the lines of doing it in the porsche gulf racing colours of the 70s/80s it would be a pretty easy transformation and when slammed and detailed could be a real looker ?,
but im not totally sold on the idea so i have got me thinking head on at the moment ,but its gonna be me work runaround so no big money projects (ie the seats wont be getting retrimmed but i might stick the gti seats in and it aint getting repainted ,+ the wheels may get sold on but there replacements will prob cost the same)
ps i cant surf !!,
