my parents got me my car. After a few small mods, like cf trim, clearing headlights, etc, they saw that I would never hurt my car. Now I have had bumpers, doors, seats, etc sitting around and they just say "Uh, I'm not going to ask."

My parents saw the mods I've done and know I can do just about anything so I told them Im swapping RSX-S seats in on sunday night or monday and all they said was why change the seats? Will they match? Other than that they don't care.

When I did my custom trunk my mom actually sat around and hept me company since my girlfriend didnt want to. And she was holding the wood while I cut it. She said she doesn't understand why I did it, but she said it looks amazing for something being built and also it was fun for her to watch and help me build something. She is pretty cool about it!

My parents put a 10k downpayment..and i'm covering the rest..15k over three years, about 400 something a month.
My parents didnt even notice my car being 1.7 inches lower..since they drive a CR-V and a Pilot..to them everything is low.
My uncle ones asked my dad if i lowered the car, becuase it looked lower than normal..my dad said in these exact words. "No, its original" bwaha..

my parents bought me my car used with mods already on it. I needed new tires so I bought new rims and my dad payed for new tires. Then I got rear-ended and a bodykit was less expensive than OEM bumpers.

That is sweet about body kit.

Parents paid 14K for my car, which was my b-day and graduation gift, my mom is skeptical about me modding cause she doesnt think i can put the car back together...thanks for the support mom, and my dad doesnt give a crap what i do, as long as it runs...oh and $4K a year for insurance is hurting the mod fund :mad:
