Well, after riding around with an unpainted car (all in primer) and just ordering a set of underbody blue neons and 20 LEDS it finally has set in, my car is slow, unpainted with neons, im a ricer... I cant help it tho, I like neons ^_^

Maybe a car is an expression of personal creativity. Maybe people should be able to make their car look good if they want, or make it fast, and for those with the $$$$, they can do both. What is wrong with a car that looks good but isn't fast? Has "looking good" become synonymous with "being fast?" Since when? I guess we have the F&F to blame for that.

Quite frankly, I don't care if your car is fast. If it is and you're cool with that, great. I like fast cars. But I also like good looking ones. So maybe it looks good. Cool. Oh it's fast too? Great.

Frankly, I'm an irresponsible 18 year old, and if I had a 3SGTE, Id've been dead a long time ago, so I'll keep my neons, both inside and out.

the problem is most body kits DON'T look good, not just on Celicas but for any car. Most are so cheap and gaudy looking that they dissolve the good looks of the car.

And like it was said before, most body modifications are made to copy a real performance body modification like the carbon fiber parts, wings, etc, so why make the car look like a LeMans racer if it's barely fast enough to get on the highway with all the fake body crap on it?
