Styling
This style generally consists of, but it not limited to starting with a 2-door coupe. Lowering the suspension. Chopping down the roof line, (usually chopped more in the rear to give a "raked back" look, B-pillars are also commonly leaned to enhance this look). Sectioning and/or channeling the body, (removing a section from the center of the body). Certain pieces of side trim are usually removed or "shaved" to make the car look longer, lower and smoother. Often bits and pieces of trim from other model cars, are cut, spliced and added to give the car a totally new and interesting "line" to lead the eye in the direction that the Kustomizer wishes it to go. Door handles are also "shaved" as well, electric solenoids or cables are installed. Buttons are installed in hidden locations and used to open the doors. Trunk lids and other pieces of the body can also be altered in this matter.

Famous quotes containing the word styling:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
