    But be real guys, what brought everyone into the scene, a stock bodied CRX with a $3000 front lip and JDM-style headlights? Hell no, crazy ass bodykits slammed to the ground with bomb-ass sound and of course the power to back it up.

    Mustang guy: Before I had this epiphany, and for the past 1.5 years, I was seriously considering selling off my car and picking up a 03-04 Cobra. Once IA started with this gay ass **** I pretty much switched to SVTPerformance.com exclusively.

    But I honestly believe the import scene took a turn for the worst. People care too much about what haters have to say rather than being original and truly expressing themselves.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Lolllll.

    And aero has never been "out". Blister kit or die...JGTC style wing (better be flush or higher than your roofline) or die...Fence pipes that extend 2-3 feet past the rear aero or die...Who cares? It's a fuccking car.

    It's true, how you gonna hate on body kits and wings when carbon fiber is the same ****. At least if you track your car the wings and spoilers help somewhat. Carbon fiber is just as useless and perhaps even more ostentatious than a wing and body kit.

    Don't think I'm hatin on nobody. You do your own thing but don't try to justify your carbon fiber as a performance product. It is for show and show only (unless it is a PRO race car)

    Also note that I didn't post in that thread after the first page. I just like to hear people's opinions.

    Just wondering if weight savings that equal better performance, better cornering and better gas mileage do not benefit a "street car". Just wondering.

    That was played out in about 2 weeks. One person did it and then every forum everywhere people were spray painting their wheels and puttin on a stripe...

    If it's a track car it's cool, if it's a street car, sell the thing and use the money for gas.
    Wrong. They do something, they keep the rear end on the ground. Under braking you don't think it is good to have both the front of rear pushing down? You want aero front and rear, regardless of the drivetrain layout... Should a RWD car not need a front lip?

    Technically he has a "spoiler". Just saying
