its all up to your own personal taste, its your car
some say they are played out because everyone has them...

ok- i really dont see what the big deal is... exactly like some one said on a previous post, its your car, or my car... i have euros on my car. because i like them. bob across the street might hate them. who cares? im tired of people signing my guestbook on car domain telling me to put my stock lights back on... i dont tell them to put their "stock" hubcaps back on.. its all in ones preference... i think the lights are pretty. i dont like body kits. but im not gonna tell bob that i think he should take his body kit off because i dont like them. its so dumb- one person started saying euros were rice, so every other little civic rider that wanted to be cool had to agree. i ALMOST took my euros off because of all the comments in a freaking guestbook. but then i slapped my self about 23480 times because i am not gonna alter something on my car because some people dont like it. thats the problem with half of the people that do stuff to their car... they gotta copy what others do and get praised for. i wont get a body kit, i personally think they are cheap. i know i will hear alot of **** for saying that, but thats my opinion. tell me my lights are ugly, hooray for you. i like them, and they will stay on my car, just as your body kit will stay on yours.
Now im done... lol... sorry if it sounds like im bitching, i just get tired of hearing about the damn altezzas.

ok neo, you just contradicted yourself in your reply.
You basically said "Everyone has their opinion and they all deserved to be listened to, but yours doesnt count" why not change your name to "***"!! that would be a great idea. why dont u check out these pics of my car, and tell me if my opinion counts or not. but of course, you will act like you dont like my car, so that you can "keep your back bone" and not appear to be shot down by a GIRLLLL

I was at the with one of my friends today while he took his cat to the vet today. I noticed that the scale they had to weigh the animals was very sensitive. So I asked if I could weigh some things and they said sure. I weighed both the stock tails and the altezzas and the altezzas were lighter. Thus, they are not rice because they do help with weight reduction on my car. True it was only a couple of ounces but every little bit helps. Every 100lbs is the equivilent to 10hp so I'm partways there.

NO... a typical 100 pound weight reduction should shave somewhere around a tenth of a second off of your quarter... not add 10 hp...

plus this is dealing with heavier musclecars that actually have hp...
i doubt you would get the same from a 1.7l vic.

[ricer rant] "To each his own" [/end ricer rant]

That line implies a sense of uniqueness, which altezzas are the exact opposite of. Hell, half the cars on the road have altezzas. So i'm going to state that i dont like your car. It's not cause you are a girl...downs syndrome patients come in both male and female.

altezzas aren't unique,...

BUT NEITHER ARE CIVICS!!!!!!!!!
more than half the cars i see on the road are civics

stockies aren't unique,
cf lights aren't unique,
bodykits aren't unique,
not much IS unique unless its custom or extremely rare (expensive) like a k20 or a custom kit or paintjob

cant you people see this?

its your car, do what you want!!!
if you want to paint the whole car f*ckin' car CHROME or color changing blue to red(http://www.colorshift.com), WHATEVER
its up to you

unless someone else is paying for the car and tells you otherwise
