It's ok, I don't care about looks at all. I drive an ugly ass 1st gen Rx7, and all I do is put money under it's hood. You act like all car guys are custom show car owners. I'm not gonna win any beauty contests, but I'll surprise the $hit out of a few people who think I'm on the stock 105bhp 12A engine when I rev up.
That's cool man. Congrats on it. Pretty much a start of a new life for ya. Good luck with it.Quote:

By the way just because i know what im doing and you feel threatened by it doesnt mean you can just say "He dont know what hes talking about." maybe you should think about what you do know and if your really love cars as much as you say you do. ACT ON IT!
Heck, most of the show car owners had other people do their work... at least some of it. Not all of it was custom.Quote:

So, when you want to throw around statements that no one knows what they are doing, because you think you are some car god to the customizing and body world... Please rethink your statement. kthx. There are many people out there that specialize in different areas. Some people focus on what is under the hood, some focus on sound, some focus on the interiors, and their are some that focus on the exterior. But when you get them all together, doing what they like. That is when you get amazing results all the way around.
So your saying just because you went to school for it and your dad taught you one way to do it you know better than i do? so if you were as good as you say you are lets put our skills to the test. ill make a front bumper and send it to you. then you can tell me siince you know so much more than i do if its a good one or not.
You are showing your ignorance here, fella.Quote:

Second - I never claimed to be an auto engineer, however, I can pretty much guarantee that my level of experience with automotive related industry is much higher than the majority of registered IA users. I am not the best mech, I don't know everything, but when I speak, it's either obvious bullsh/t sarcasm, a serious contribution to the discussion, an industry hookup, or a question (such as my highly neg-repped question about the Ford GTO - a platform I know jack about).
Respect is earned, my noobish compadre. If nobody knows you, or nobody has seen your work, then pretty much, nobody will give a sh/t. If you can't provide that, then sit down, shut up and approach potential clients in a professional, humble manner. Possibly consider a more decellerated approach.
Secondly, whether you are an established shop or not, you are offering automotive customization services for a price (low or not). To this, do the respectful thing and pay IA for letting you publicize on these forums. These are not free, and many established shops that do what you claim to do have sacrificed the monetary resources for this privelege. If you want respect...act respectfully and professionally.
Or else prepare to be bashed to f/cking hell on these forums for being an asshat!
:thinking: lol, anyways. What part of the north? (fam. is from Michigan) and if you are talking about not having the balls, you posted on an Atl. based site. Bring your self down here, I am sure there are people that will step-up to the plate.Quote:

But anyways, I'm laughing at all this. so :cheers: Try not to get so butt-hurt from the internet.
shut up please. You act like we're full of ourselves, how about we LIKE the way our cars are, and we LIKE how some mods look. Also, just because I love speed and performance modding doesn't mean I have to race professionally, I race for fun. Also,, to touch base with your first post, my car IS an import, I have proof in my VIN number stating it was assembled in Hiroshima Japan in 1982.Quote:

Im going to send a bumper to you and you guys that apparently think i dont know what im talking about can rate it. im tired of you guys talkin ****. i still havent seen anything backing any of your statements up so unless your all a bunch of chicken **** bastards someone challenge me.
Yah, it's been kinda sad going through my 'Rolodex" and saying adios to all of those in the industry I've worked with over the years, but it'll definitely be good to diversify my scope (no pun intended). They will always be there if I need them or they need me. It's just nice to be able to look back on the last five years and see all the great relationships that I've been blessed with. This industry is truly awesome.Quote:

Orly? I remember posting a link to a pic of my custom work.Quote:

That brings me to the next part, why the hell are you talking all this shiit if you have a stock volvo 850?
If you want to know the truth... I'm a better mechanic than you, a better body man than you, and a better person than you. My car is better than your car. My family is better than your family. My screen name is better than your screen name. My body kit would be better than your body kit, but personally I haven't liked a body kit since I was about 10... then I still made fun of 95% of the body kitted vehicles I saw. Meaning I don't care to "challenge" you... unless it's a race. In that case, I won't even use NOS to beat you.
BTW, my car has off the shelf exel rims, stock body, and stock color paint, and I PROMISE I get more compliments, stares, etc from everyone.
BTW, ALL my cars are stock body and get more compliments than anything you have or have built.
In the background, silly!Quote:
