I can see both sides of it
We all modify (the majority of us here dont have a totaly stadered car) to suit what we as people are like , what we interperet how we would have had VW build one for us if we were in charge
this goes for the RAT/Hoodride owners too , manybo they are a bit off the wall of just like kitch temselves
many time ive been asked why i change al the cars i own , and i try and put it in the kinda perspective of , we dont all live in identical houses with identical furnature or eat identical food , some people like minimalist some people like the place filled with crap . Come on even mobile phone had different ringtones so you can pick one that you like
As for weather they are stylish or not ? well if people are happy to run round in rusty (or sometimes faux rust) cars with orniments and stickers all over them so be it , ill apreciate that work wil lhave gone into it and there owner enjoys it and the attention it gets , peronally i love the OEM look really well built quite understated with mods that you dont see until you start looking . But then again i also like a balls out stripped racer
I dunno , Each to there own , who am i to judge someone
