Some style ques though are replicated because they look the best.

Now, the degree of flushness will vary, but over all flush > sunk. But this topic has came up time and time again, a little research would have gone a long way. I fault ignorance notlack of originatlity...
This is true... I guess everyone has their own sense of "originality" to what they do. But in the end its most likely not different in any way... But hey, its about what you the owner of said vehicle likes, correct?

^ yes sir, that is all that should matter at least.

Erotica, you are right that I have / will take certain aspects from other styles of cars, although if it were the first time it had been done, it would still be original to the S-chassis. I guess the only way I could ever hope to be original is hope that I have taken enough things from enough different areas that people go "wow, haven't seen something like that before..."

In the end it wont matter though, anything truelly original will get exploited and marketed to the point of band wagon status (my car on raceonusa.com for conversion fenders as an example), so it all goes back to doing what tickles your pickle the most.

You're right EroticA. People do look at other people cars. Why not? I'm not saying I'm a bitter, is just give myself ideas how's it look and come up my own style. That's me. Few people have their own taste of style maybe a few of them are the same. To be honest who cares. As long you like it.
