2008 Performance World/Darknights Pics

Some pics from the Darknights Auto Salon/ Performance World show that took place at the International Center in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

It was a pretty decent show, with an unusual amount of high end luxury cars in attendance...

It was this past weekend, here are the pictures






















Yes, that’s an SLR shes posing on…



I took 4 sets of pics... links below to 400+pics

Looks like there was some nice work there.

It never ceases to amaze me how show cars have such a high level of craftsmanship, but it seems to be inversely proportional to the taste involved. I'm not just talking about your pictures, but "show" cars in general. Ridiculous modifications and color combinations are utilized in the name of points and individuality, and undoubtedly exhibit extraordinary workmanship and skill. But the modifications, when view macroscopically, are both useless and visually unappealing.

Anyone care to explain that one to me?

Re: 2008 Performance World/Darknights Pics

what would you drive to a car show? an eye catching car (probably ugly eye catching) that has a lot of expensive stuff bolted onto it. or a honda that is dressed up to the point of having the clean style of a high dollar euro car? the ricemobile will get more looks and because of that more people will look at its work. stock looking cars belong on the road :P

I understand the reasoning, if not the logic. I'm not so much talking about the colors and paint jobs as the modifications that render the car completely useless for street use. Know what I'm talking about? Once you get to a certain point, it becomes modern art, not a car. Ah well. Guess I'm too pragmatic. I suppose that's why I don't go to art museums.

Re: 2008 Performance World/Darknights Pics

for show, so they can say its possible to do lol. ofcourse you could never drive those things around town. yeah the crazy ones get more looks, but then the people are thinking, wow look at this ricehead driving around with all the junk thrown on. i dont think anyone has ever stopped them to mention how great the double aluminum spoiler matches the body lines.
