wow, slick looking ride, that takes alot of work, $$, and dedication. I'm close to your age (i just turned 18) and i wish my car was half as done up as yours, and thatpearl/sparkly paint, is sweet. And btw, this site is full of JDM/race car wannabe fan boys, so i wouldnt take any harsher comments to heart.

i wouldnt say jdm fanboys. the site is probably filled up more with people that like clean cars that arent too flashy. cars that dont have neon lights everywhere, big time paint jobs or twenty billion buttons that do different things. its just a coincidence that the JDM theme fits it perfectly.

^no you can spend a lot of money and still make it look generally like the manufacturer intended, just added a multitude of subtle changes.. props to the amount of work that went into it, but I prefer the clean look over the flashy/show look

Dude it's just two sides of the coin.. would you rather spend money on as you put "stuff like folding mirrors, side markers, subtle changed tails" all of which are FUNCTIONAL to driving as opposed to flashy lights that don't do anything to help your driving and are simply meant for show.. as I said props to the OP'er who put a lot of time and effort into making car neat to look at, but I'm sorry I'd rather have one that's more functional DRIVING, as opposed to sitting in a car show..

i didnt say performance, i said mad tyte jdm looks.
and as for functional, how are folding mirrors any more functional than flashy things? or sidemarkers? those are pretty much meant to be flashy too, they are installed too low to serve as blind spot blinkers.
all im saying is that crap like an underglow kit is just as "functional" as a sidemarkers or JDM tails, None of this crap will help you with your driving, but it just bugs me when i see cars that have tonnes of work and $$ put into them and then hordes of posts after it pointing out its non jdm tyte flaws in it.
anyways /end rant, im done with this

eh, well i think that this:
looks worse than this (my little brother's car 750rwhp):
i think it looks good cuz it looks like it could have rolled out of the factory this way and doesnt have neons

Look alright, doesn't win me over too much though.. Not feelin' the tail lights or body kit.. but it looks alright. If that's what you like, well, have fun.
