It was ahead of it's time. To make a Hellcat, you should slap some wheels that look close to the Hellcat's rims, which one of them are the RAYS Volk GT-M.
I really like how this game was made during the time when it was still okay to be creative with body kits and making your car stand out. Thanks to the internet, the most negative people have started to be very vocal about their opinions on designs like these, but I'm pretty sure that in reality a lot of people think they're pretty cool. If we're going to make car culture fun again, we need to stop saying "ugly this, ugly that" and "I hate this car and these sorts of car people" and instead focus on the fun aspacts of it and being vocal about the things you think are good instead. Most things in life become a lot more fun if you look at them from the bright side! Sorry for the little rant, I think I just needed to get this out of me somewhere.
@Basket of Macintosh Hehe, thanks. although I would admit to myself being a bit of a hypocrite by being negative about the very negativity I want to turn away from.
Straight facts, I agree with you in 100% but actually I think that there is a certain reason for that. I may be wrong, but... when it was popular? In 2000s yes? What happened in 2008? A crisis and recession. When such modifications started to be "outdated" and "rice"? After 2008. What came after 2008? Stock car stanced on wheels and some coilovers (all from China). Why? because many people had no money after recession to build such crazy imports etc with paintjobs and so on. So if someone cannot afford something cool and gets salty about it, will call it rice and outdated shit. Back in the day, before recession, middle class was way wealthier than now. We didn't have such crisises going on. So we had money to afford it. Now as everything gets expensive, what's creative and not minimalistic will be called out ugly, because someone gets salty about another person being able to pull that off financially. Who was buying mostly magazines like Super Street, Import Tuner etc? I think that mostly middle class. Because there was most of the interest about it. Poor people couldn't afford a car, rich ones were going for premium brands like Ferraris, Lambos etc. So I think, if we want to have those times back, we need to make middle class wealthy again (just not in such stupid way like pumping some real estate bubble etc). But if to look at how car companies screw passionate people with agreeing for gasoline cars ban (compare it to gun laws where gun manufacturers disagree and somehow "strangely" politicians cannot overcome them), and how in many countries modifying car is being restricted as much as only possible, I don't know if it will be possible unless people like us would unite and become vocal minority ourselves. Just my opinion and observations, maybe right, maybe wrong, but wanted to share them with you all as we seem to be missing those good times of car modifications etc :D Maybe someone will have an idea for taking some action that will change the situation into more positive one. Best regards!
@@Christopher26021994 Man, that is such a good analysis and I think you might be spot on! I was only a kid back then, but I remember how much things changed in '08, before it everything felt like it had a much more carefree attitude, while after it there was a great sense of unease which I still think lingers on today. As you said though, what we need is to not only look back at the good times, but creating new ones ourselves. I, for one, have managed to move to Japan and am now studying car mechanics here. During the six months I've been here I've seen that there are absolutely a great number of car enthusiasts out there and my classmate who bought a Subaru Pleo and let me customize it with him for the equivalent of about 5000 bucks show that if you want to, you can definitely still have fun with cars even on a tighter budget. As a side note, we're going to put underglow on it. ;)
Some of these kits have aged quite beautifully tbh Then others have aged horridly and makes you wonder what the fuck R* were smoking while designing them
Fun fact: In the Mission Log and Showroom, the Camaro Concept and Murcielago Roadster's DUB versions use the correct TIS rims (M304/M305), while the one you win/buy uses TIS 11/09 rims instead.
i must admit: that firebird front end is exotic, and in a good way ( for once anything deemed exotic). the ford GT NEARLY nails it on the head, but then teh rear arches was too promin ate :( ...still would rock it though
As much as I love most bodykit designs in the game, it's a shame they don't give you room to change the tailights/headlights, spoiler and hood to your own accord. There's definitely a lot of cars I love the bodykit for save for one of those parts.
Some of those wide-body kits looks great, even on some cars that you didn't expect it and some that you expect based on certain cars to look great end up looking ugly. For example, that Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 '99, with the wide-body kit, the front looks good and like a JGTC race car version until you see the rear which looks damn ugly. The front part of the Mazda RX-7 '95 with the wide-body kit looks like a JGTC Nissan S15 but not the rear, the rear looks more like from a Mercedes. The wide-body kit on the Dodge Challenger Concept "DUB" '06 also looks very good and close to the real version. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X '08 wide-body kit is another well made one, similar to a real version wide-body kit on the same car and the best looking one to me along with the Datsun 280Z '75 and Dodge Challenger Concept "DUB" '06.
The only thing I really don't like about these is the lack of costumization. You either get bumpers, lights, etc _or_ the widebody. Shame because some of these would look amazing if you had more options alongside the widebodies.
This is the first time i heard someone says MCLA lack customization. This game has an interior customization which surprisingly not a lot of games have
@@flame_101 I meant that widebodies *specifically* _remove_ further customization to exterior parts after you apply it, only allowing the tires and interior to be changed
Amazing how this game was very much like us and of its time! If Rockstar had given more budget and time, it would definitely be one of the best street racing games of all time.
i guess im the only who thinks that like 60% of the widebodies are pretty mid. only good ones are the merci, the golf, the r8, the saleen s7, and the pontiac gto. the rest are ok, mid, or just utter dogshit Oh and i love this game dont get me wrong. but i dont think i ever put widebodies on my car unless they LOOK appealing
The only way a car can be rice is if it has performance cosmetics with no power to back it up this is just cosmetics there is no rice involved in the look its just something some people don't like people have to learn what rice means 😮💨
Why are they all so bad… the S7 is decent, same with the 90’s eclipse. But they just went so wrong with all of them. Especially with the headlights and tail lights
No, thats why when installing individual parts, some have real-world brand names. All of the widebody kits have the midnight club logo next to custom. It was just for the game
They need to fix wheel fitment with wide body most of them look ugly bc even with the widest wheel size their too tucked in to the fenders and quarter panels
The Challenger "DUB" design was ahead of it's time.
OOUU YEAAHHH, THIS IS FUN THIS GAME!
Literally made me think it was a hellcat

Whats up bro
The new Charger looks somewhat similar
The R34 GTR Widebody taillights still give me nightmares
Fr
Why?
The theme of MidnightClub 2.... It gives me chills
fr it’s lowkey spooky the aura that game got is crazy
I like how the 300C's widebody kit almost turns it into it's GTA 4 counterpart the PMP 600.
Similar with the 64 Impala and the Malibu looking a lot like the Vapid Blade from GTA 5
The Saleen S7 with the kit turns into the veloci from MC2
Did you call me?
"This will only help me win"
The GTO one makes it look like the 71 Bestia too.

I wish they let you change just the fenders and not the full kit
the widebody of the Cobra concept is like a modernize version of the original 1966 shelby cobra 427
good work R*
The Challenger DUB almost looks like a modern hellcat
I love how the body kits resemble the old Midnight Club cars which Rockstar doesn't have a budget to obtain licensed cars
They had more than enough budget to get licenses for Pagani zonda or even rufs
Bro it's Rockstar games, one of the most well funded developers
@@rxshovxxnot in the days of MC2
5:36 The modern Camaro body kit is absolutely scrumptious
Some of the body kits turn the cars from recognizable real world cars to literal Transformers in their car from.
8:18 Congratulations. Your RX-7 has been converted into a Saturn Sky
It may have taken influences from the Mazda MX-5 NB as well for the RX-7 FD's widebody.
The rear of it looks like an R230 SL. Pretty exotic look for the FD RX-7.
Looked like a car from GTA 3
Or the S2000

So accurate

Where’d you get that number
We. Need a Remaster for this game if you agree
Agree
The GNX widebody looks like a Hotring Racer from GTA San Andreas
@@TheSultan1470 Maybe
Reminds me of the 442 FE3X
This man added the old midnight club 2 main menu music 😂
and what? Because copyright some reason
@@Unknown-q1v2j nah I mean yea probably it is copyrighted by I'm saying it's cool the way put the MC2 music in video and he edited was legit
The Datsun will always be one of my favorites. It turns it into a modern looking car and its a good base for vinyl customization.
Props for using the Midnight Club II menu theme
4:27 The Cobalt has a moustache! It’s Nigel Mansel!

this game series was the only one rock star takes seriously
Also for Midnight Club 3.
4:04 this body kit from nfs u2?
You mean the mantis kit?
I like the Riviera bodykit
Looks like a concept car from the 60s
wtf just happend to the nissan skyline 8:34
Forgot the motorcycles' tails, tanks and cowls. They have their own bodykits too.
Those are not body kits, those are body parts

takes me back to liberty city

What’s the background song
The title theme of midnight club 2
Half of the bodykits look really good, the other half like utter garbage. Nothing in between
11:37 GMA T33
Cadillac xlrv 08 is my favourite
not me watching this video just for the MC2 Theme

That chrysler 300 kit looks like the kit they made for the 300 in that weird the car road to revenge movie
Would it be possible,if you take requests,to show every wheel in game available(South Central DLC Rims included)?
Of course
No.
Wheels he won't bother us
since its underused title stuff...
Wat is the song called🔥🔥🔥🔥
Some of them are good, and some of them are not
Challenger DUB looks a bit like modern day Hellcat / Demon
How do you get the r8
@reichsfuhrermonika6469 You can also see a stock R8 as an opponent, which when you drive a maxed exotic, Doc will appear in a stock R8.
The fitment of te wheels is the only thing that i hate from this game.
Hiw did you make that much money😭🙏
how do u have that much money
How you get the r8
He use modded save game, I guess
Had to finish the Test Drive before June 2014, sorry, after Rockstar shut it down, only Doc can have one.
if your on PS3 you just install a 100% save with the R8 unlocked, thats how I got mine
@@nitroxylictv Thats right.
WTF that RX7 body
I never understand why rockstar got the widebody kits riced
and make them look ugly for some reason
I mean tbh from 2003 to like 2012 the rice trend was pretty wild, big ass rims weird ass body kits
Even the motorcycles' tails, tanks and cowls.
