Back in the f&f days it was all about bright colors body kits, and down right complete body fabrication. But now Im seeing less n less kits and everyone is basicly doin the factory look, Why? I mean I understand its personal preference and cheaper (more affordable) but I mean what is so cool about it? Its boring if u ask me. To have a completely modified car, from exterior, interior, audio, and motor is what car building was about? Headlight taillight conversion, frankinstein body kits from other cars is so much more interesting because its different and leaves u guessing and wondering how, what, where, how long, ect. But most people look down and/or frown upon it, why? Can someone help me with this please? I really want to hear thoughts n opinions and whatever else ud like to donate to this.

1. Im getting to old to drive an orange car, ( dont get me wrong, its a very nice car and looks)
2. Gets a lot of police attention 3. You are considered driving a cereal box car. Those are very stupid reasons i know. Times change. Back in the days it looked cool, then all the people went to body kits in primer, just body kits and no engine mods, hence RICER. Main reason now for me, not to call attention AKA Sleeper. Its all in attention to detail. I have a body kit, but not to big. Im thinking of going spoilerless. Depends... Im more into HP than looks. Its more of the JDM look, which is OEM for another country, yes its stupid, more of like having the options this country never got. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Its funny because After living in Japan for four years I lived everyday jdm. N japanese are all about body kits that its rediculous. Hell japanese dont even drive hondas or skylines. Its all about s13, 14, n 15, Hachi Roku, Altezzas, rx-7, supra, and k-cars. The concerns are color, looks, n performance. Ive seen so many crazy kits, n colors it was like I fell into a bowl of fruity pebbles. Kinda makes u wonder if our idea of JDM is correct. From my 4 yrs of personal experience Id have to say no, lol. This post has been edited by Lil-Joe101: Oct 13, 2011 - 12:00 PM -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.
