Before reading your post and just seeing that first picture of the box flared 02. My first thought was, “Oh that’s the car Korman, sold to one of Pablo Escobar’s guys.”

I’m just reposting it to further the myth.

It looks like a car that somebody put a LOT of work into to me...  I have the space to appreciate it and the person that did the work.

Oh I don't disagree at all with that, Dave. It could be quite good work, also, and good craftsmanship should be appreciated.

 

But IMO he perverted the design, and made the car a caricature of the original. And the tii badge is offensive.

adjective: perverted;

(of a thing) having been corrupted or distorted from its original course, meaning, or state.

 

 

noun: caricature;

1. 1.

   a picture, description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect.

adjective: offensive

1. 1.

   causing someone to feel deeply hurt, upset, or angry.

    

    

   Yep, ok.  Perverted; sure.  Caricature; obviously.  The tii badge is offensive?  Really?  That's all it takes for you to be deeply hurt, upset, or angry?  Interesting words to choose.

    

   Whatever happened to tolerance?

    

   (Obviously I'm a little sore about this subject as a whole right now and has very little to do with Ray and 2002s, but, seriously.  Can't we start here?)

For the most part I like the Ultrabox 02.  But I have a big boy racer streak in me. The build quality looks pretty nice,not a fan of the hood tow hook and that rear spoiler nor the tii badge. 

I can definitely see why people don't like it. Looks like a love it or hate it kinda build.

Counter point - what happened to having an opinion?

I'm a staunch advocate for hotrodding 2002's.  However, modifying's very nature is "personalizing" a car.  Meaning it should be built for yourself, meaning someone else may not like it.  If the owner likes it, well there you go.
.....and the world goes round.

I’m personally not into making disparaging comments about other people’s cars and, by consequence, their labors of love. 

 

The whole point of this hobby is individualism/self-expression and you can easily not like something without being demeaning. If you say that someone’s car looks like shit, you’re basically saying that their taste and style and efforts are shit...which isn’t very nice.

 

That car is about as far as I can imagine from my own personal aesthetics...but kudos to the owner for executing his personal vision with such attention to detail and dedication.
