z06's actually need a wing at speeds over 160 mph, so no matter how ricey it looks it's still functional.

All track cars, Vipers, Porsche, Ferrari, etc. have wings for a reason.
Drag cars don't need wings unless your running 4s.
Street cars it's all show.

Personally I don't like posers who act like trackers, but who cares what I or anyone else thinks, you do what you want to your car. If somebody gives you a little shit about it, so what?

yes, i forgot shitty products. Thats the biggest problem I think. Many people are far too impatient to wait for the good things that either have to be imported, or saved up to obtain.
I agree with this.. If I see something with "quality" parts and all is put together well then I say, nice.

If the colors dont go well or body lines dont flow smooth, wheels to big or small. Wheels to big, brakes to small, you get the idea, then it is not very pleasing to the eye.

Either way, to each his own.. some people are good at selecting parts and doing their car right and some are not. I like to see a "theme" when I look at cars it give them personality.

Side note: I think the "drift" explosion has brought body kits back in the picture. They just look good on a 240, Supra and other RWD cars going sideways for some reason..

Yeah, but this is a new thread

There are alot of people that do things to their cars that I personally wouldn't do, if they have the confidence to do it on their own because it is what they want, good for them. The ones that annoy me are the people that start threads asking what they should do next, or put on the new carbon fiber triple blade wing because their "boys" said it was cool. These people will always be wannabe's to me, no matter if they end up with something cool or not, because they are only doing it to fit in or have friends. If it comes from you, more power to you, if you have to have an opinion pole, you probably shouldn't do it.

I'm much more of a sleeper person my self. Stock looking on the outside and fast on the inside. I dont mind body kits but most of them are horrible. Clean and fast is the way to go IMHO. Why attract to much attention to yourself?
