less is more, and some people forget that. there isnt any point in dumping $5000 in to a paint job / body kit if your car still has a 5s/7a in it.


but what is the point in having a fast car? You just dumped $4000 into a swap, and can pass most things on the road, but once they turn off on the next block, does it really matter if you won or not? To me body kits make more sense, ya speed is fun, but having a nice looking car will get you more attention.


What's the sense in making something look fast if it can't even pull a 16 second quarter mile?

Speed & looks are one in the same, they both garner attention. I think people with 6th gens should realize that the cars biggest shortcoming isn't how it looks, it's how fast it doesn't go. That's why i think people should focus on engine / performance first, and exterior last, in my opinion.

I could sleep good at night knowing my car was completely stock on the outside, but had a 3sgte power plant under the hood. I've seen enough 6th gens with body kits, but seeing one or owning a 6th gen with a good motor in it is somewhat of a rarity.

all im saying is that i have a ricer car, do i care what everyone says, NO! but i could dump 3-4 thousand into a swap and have a nice car,but there will be someone that will have a faster car and make fun of my car for being slow, so i put all the money into making it look good cause you dont see a modified 6 gen, or ne car for that matter, thats look half way decent, but there the ones with 17,000 hp at the wheels and can smoke my car, who cares about that, let them smoke me and then ill watch the cop give them a ticket!

just my .02 cents
