Re: [T3] chopped notch

[Jon Remers <pigal66@yahoo.se>]

In my opinion chopped cars usually looks strange,
those lines are extremely well thought out from the
factory and if you move one brick.... As an example: I
removed the trim from the sills of my fasty and
suddenly the car looked very strange. It seemed that
it was riding too high and it looked "skinny". After a
while I realized that the chrome trim "moved" the
lines lower in my mind - perception. 
A chopped car looks strange in a similar way as the
waistline will be way too tall in comparison with the
roof. The car will look fat and clumsy.
The only way to get a chopped car to look good is to
section (direct translation from swedish) the car.
That way you would get balance in the design and the
car would look very sleek. But then we are talking
pretty far out modifications.
