I know you're not hatin', but I just wanted to say that i don't think every car needs a million things done to it, to be cool. Often times, a little is enough. I think it's a lot easier to take a car too far than it is to show restraint and know when to stop. It's all a matter of taste, but i don't think a car needs to have a full body kit, a wing, two-tone paint and a full blown interior to be cool, nor do I think any of those things make a car "better." It's the word "just" in both posts quoted, that really bothers me... why should someone get even a little bit dissed for deciding, "it's done, I like it just like this".. even if that means stock outta the box.

I know I'm a guy who has yet to post any mods so take this comment with a grain of salt.

I agree with Hue on the "just" thing. Sometimes less is more. I like the stock look of a lot of my micros (Particularly my muscle car SE's and some superbits), but I also see minor things about them that I would like to change. I think Sinned took an already good looking body and made it look even better just by lowering it. Then again, I have seen some other cars that had the shit modded out of them, which are stunning works of art...many of DT's cars are good examples.

I find all of your pimps work inspirational, but there is something about some of the "more simple" mods that gets me going. I suppose its because I feel like those mods are something that I can accomplish, being a "rookie" so to speak, and still create a nice looking ride.

With that said, I agree with CD that a little constructive criticism is a good thing. It helps some of you more experienced pimps push the envelope and provides a learning experience for the rookies.

I think that I'm inspired by all the cool modding DT does, and how well it all works together, that's a skill. On the other hand, I'm inspired by how just straight up clean Hue's work is, that's a skill too. I'm left in the middle thinking, how can I do all that and keep it clean, that's my style. We all have our own style.

Bottom line, DT, and Sinned went about the Mercedes 2 different ways, just because one has more mods into doesn't make it better, it's just 2 different interpretations, and that's what makes it interesting.

I think once we've seen what someone like Sinned has done, we expect him to produce on that level everytime. Sometimes I feel like that expectation is put on me, but it just don't work like that.

Now if DT wants to criticize Sinned for not doing enough, that's his point of view, and he has the car to back up his point of view, so we really can't condemn him for his point of view, and making it known.

That's what I was tryin to say, except I wasn't actually comparing the two...

Absolutely... I think I did a bad job in my post, trying to get my point across. I wasn't trying to condemn anyone. What I probably should have written was... that dodgeracerpud dude is a prick, and I totally disagree with where he was coming from in his post... so reading, "he's right" bugged me a little.

Anyway, didn't mean to start any shit.

Thanx Cavey for steppin in, we do tend to expect at whole lot outta Sinned from his past mods. I like da hell outta it myself ! 8)
Hue, I didn't take it outta contex at all Pimp, I knew what you were sayin :cool: Just is a harsh phrase when it comes to Micros......

Me personally, I like max'n out 'em out, especially if it suits. Now I don't mess with the ZZ Muscle or SBCG, I think the bodies are perfect as is, except paint of course :smile:

Yeah, and you know, condemn was kinda of a harsh word from me, I know that's not what you were trying to do. Words are tricky little boogers.

All I was saying is taste is subjective, and there's no right or wrong. There's just opinions, and opinions are like assholes, everybodies got one.

Well, thanks man.. but I really wasn't talkin' about my stuff at all. After reading that quote again, it does sound like I'm talkin' shit about one style over another... which wasn't where I was comin' from at all. I was just defending Sinned's clean and simple car. But, in defending his clean and simple style, I made it sound like I don't dig stuff that's over the top and fully decked-out, and that's not right... I dig the shit outta that shit...

Some days I shouldn't even try to write my thoughts down.. that whole thing just came out wrong :lol: Ah well, I think the peace is restored, and the dead horse is beaten into fuckin' oblivion.

i dont think that sinned really needs to go all out with his cars, i mean that he has shown us his skills time and time again and they all rock, man i must say that i get so inspired here at bitpimps, @ hue your doner car is the bomb, i cant stop looking at it and all the tlc that you put into it , i mean that u have touched everybit of that lil rc, unlike my cars that drive like doggie doo and look good sitten, sure i have a few nice drivin chassis that i really like but my interest is the bodies, hue touched all parts of the car, sinned's benz is just right , there is this saying about overboard and just and it goes like this ( keep it simple stupid ) no lie this is the saying or phrase used all the time. i would not do anything else to the benz, evrybodie here at bit pimps puts out some imazeing stuff and u will pick something up from what they have contributed thats alll from me . i need to go to the bus and get the joint... :cool:

well, it looks like bruce and I are alone on this one.......

Sinned, I was just taking the piss mate. I like your mods. You gotta learn that this is the hood and a pimps attitude is what makes him or breaks him.

I think the excuse of your english being bad is bullshit. Your english is excellent (considering that learing to speak vs. writing in another language are two totally different things....).

Also Sinned, you need to become more active in the hood than just posting your mods then pissing off..... You discuss nothing here, you just post your mods. This method of posting makes you look (to me) like a stuck up elitist modder who thinks everyones' elses mods are crap and not worth your time....Think about this and I might not rag on you as much! hah!

remember it's all in good fun!

Ph2t, those comments were more Bitch than Pimp IMO. Sinned has been here for ever, and personally I feel he deserves more respect than that. Now true, I do agree that it would be great to see him contribute more than just his Dope rides, but look at it this way. Sinned speaks English, sure, but I have a feeling that it's to th level of my sisters in law. They don't use it on a regular basis, so it's a royal PitA to "Brows" forums, and then post your thoughts concisly with out repeating what others have already said before. Basically, do you speak a second language, and more so, do you research and read stuff in that language? If not, I would suggest you back off then. Good to see tho that it's not just us Americans tha feel everyone in th world should speak English, them Aussies do too :grin:

In closing, I have Jack shit against you Ph2t. As a matter of fact, you lay down some sick shit and me being involved with this sight far less than you may not give me the right, but I'm taking it, just for a sec. I don't want this site to loose you, or Sinned, you both kick some bit ass in your own way.

I agree with both of you. I agree with Finks that there's no need to be overly harsh on Sinned. I would rather he only floss his rides than to not come here at all. However, I also agree with ph2t in that Sinned could be a little more active in threads other than his own.

Here's a good case in point: Miva

Miva's english is no better than Sinned's, but he treated us to a step-by-step of the evolution of that Ferrari. By the way, what the hell happened to Miva and that Ferrari?

I don't think the pimps expect a lot, but if you come by to get props on your latest creation, it's only fair to return the favor.

we'll, since you mentioned it Mr Finks, I speak and read Greek. So YOU back off Malaka! :-) lol...

I respect Sinned's work, he's one of the few, real, bit Gods..... BUT, one can always rattle the cage to see what happens.........

Dude, you have the right to say anything you want! I'm a modder, Sinned's a modder and so are you. I don't class people on their modding skills, that's too elitist. I class people on their attitude in the forums......I believe Sinned's attitude is to post and piss off. If the guy can't take some critisism then he ain't pimp..... simple as that......
