You've done transmac cars, what about transfem?

I've indeed done transmasc cars, so sure, what's the point in pretending I'm better than that.

As explained in the post above, I feel like for a car to be trans it has to have undergone an aesthetic transformation of some sort - so this post will be about cars that changed face (before to the left, after to the right).

While some voted it most transmasc car of the post and it literally started off with a female name, I actually think the Onevia looks a bit more transfem to me (that's one sentence for the "how did my life end up here" folder).

But there's one more front end alteration with its own name these cars have under their belt.

Enter Mitsuoka, a small Japanese car manufacturer that mostly specializes in taking cars that just aren't weird enough and solving that problem. Indeed, they worked on that Silvia too, turning it into the Mitsuoka Le-Seyde - but I'd rather show you the newer version, based on the last Silvia generation, because I feel like the contrast it offers is genuinely unmatched.

Yep.

And I know what you're thinking - where in the absolute pants did they get this idea? Oh, you're gonna love this one: from Zimmer, an American company founded in the 80s to do exactly that to the Mustang!

Zimmer went bankrupt in '88.

And then was bought up by Art Zimmer (no prior relation) and did the exact same thing to the newer Mustang!

and to the Town car!

Zimmer ceased production again in 2020. "Why?", I cannot fathom anyone wondering. Well, simple: they made the silly mistake of not being in Japan, where Mitsuoka is still thriving doing stuff like this.

Also, speaking of Mitsuoka, you really need to see what they ended up with when they put their hands on the Honda NSX platform (creating a concept that however would reach production as a fully unique car).

And if you thought this couldn't get any better, the two cars above are called, respectively, Galue and Orochi. Wow.

To finish, I would like to submit one I'm not sure can compete but I like too much not to mention: the Pit Crew nose kit for the first generation Mazda Miata!

And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't include the inspiration for the Dias Classic (which annoyingly seems to have a sweep going on for itself in the poll), the Subaru Vivio Bistro.

And as a treat for y'all, I found one modified in bosozoku style.

I don't believe this poll deserves a larger sample size, but you can reblog this post if like me you think it would at least be really funny.

Dramatic transformation. Brent Walker's "Project Borderline" Ford Mustang started as a junkyard 2008 V6 and became arguably the most customized road-going S197 on Earth. It's powered by a 727HP 5.8L supercharged GT500 Trinity V8 mated to the Tremec OE GT500 manual transmission and rides on Cortex Racing suspension, JRi Shocks adjustable coilovers, Wilwood disc brakes, Michelin tires, and 19x9.5/20x12.5 Forgeline forged three piece CF3C wheels finished with Satin Hyper Silver centers & Polished outers.

This cool bun-type guy, immediately, gave me Ford Mustang vibes. The question though is which generation! He's got the fingerless driving gloves so he can handle the horsepower, but for some reason something about the newer S550 and S660 mustangs just doesn't fit. for those reasons, I will say that this fella drives an Ford Mustang S197 GT

Hardtop. Dude doesn't need to show off in a convertible. This generation of mustang could also be ordered with RGB lighting in the interior, so he could even set that to purple and be permanently in the same cool lighting as this fantastic artwork! (Also I wanna say how much I adore the detail of the tape holding up the sunglasses. That's brilliant.)

cool guy
