    So what is the difference, besides having money, from a guy who goes out and buys all name brand stuff such as Back Yard Special, Nardi, etc. etc. - all the stuff that impresses JDM fanboys, and the guy who paints his OEM wheels trying to impress people?

    More or less the same thing is going on - someone is building a car in hopes of getting props. One guy has the money to buy the baller "JDM must-have" stuff while the other ends up with knock off stuff or repainted wheels, etc.

    In principle it's the same thhing, is it not?

    What makes a guy better for spending $1,000.00 on a bumper, and $1,500+ ohn wheels than the next guy that didn't?


    The thing is at the end of the day, no matter whether one admits it or not, part of the reason why one does what one does to their car is for peer spproval and thats an undeniable fact.....

    Somewhere in your mind, you do the shiit you do because you want ppl to look at what you've created and be like damn....

    Not only that, but I'm also building a car so it can inspire a new breed of car builders in the Southeast..There are a lot of hot cars in this area of the country but not enough and not nearly like in Cali....and then I'm doing it for me bec I enjoy doing what I do..



    I think I'm original bec I have yet to personally see a modded Z4...
    I took a car that not many ppl my age fuk with and I made it the best I could...

    You're exactly right. If this weren't so, we wouldn't have a thousands new posts a day in this section by people wanting to show that they did something "new" to their cars. Later, QD.
