I Don't think it defeats my statement. Although i do believe you've brought up a good thought. I agree, there are some very nice show cars that will tear me up at the track.Originally Posted by GOT_PURP
I do not feel its wrong for a civic to have a full body kit on 18's with a fully built type r swap boosted, with 30 psi.
What would be said: Thats a very well rounded car.
i dont mean to come off as "that guy", and if i do, i apologize. Just keeping the discussion from being 1 sided.
i meant to say looking stock.stock car is no fun...
lol.
you know for a fact that even though it may be a well-rounded car. i bet you that people would still call it rice just because of the way that it looked. now a days it seems that people are more about the impracticality of a car then the actual true functionality.
that brings me to the slammed/crazy offsets that are around. wtf is the point? i dont understand it. why drive a car that is basically impractical. i car was ment to drive, not have to all of a sudden slow down at every bump in the road. i just dont get it and the making sure the offset is percisely what it should be on a lowered car so it will stick out from under the fenders, eh. to me a car is meant to drive, not go slow and look good. why not just keep your height at a reasonable level with STILL a little bit of fender gap and still look sharp?
my car may look like almost every integra out there. and i know that. but i dont care, its how I wanted it to look as time went on. I used to LOVE the look of the bomex kit and always wanted to get one of those but it was the cost of it at the time and being in highschool that wouldnt let me do it.

The people who are different or don't care what others think get royally bashed.
There are very few really unique cars on this site. Every Honda on here to me looks the same, is boring, and for some unknown reason Honda owners think they are the shit. That's the stereotype I get from it.
Shit I paint half my cars with a roller just to make it decent, and worry about performance. I track my cars, and spending time and money to make a pretty little car is useless to me, it's made to track, if I crash, oh well, it cost me $30 to paint and a $5 Lowes lip that WORKS.
I mean my car will be lowered with some boring rims but I'm not trying to make a statement either. I just wanna go fast like Ricky Bobby

if you ain't first, you're last
I'M GLAD U ADDED TAHT PARAGRAPH, BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO BLAST U. BTW, I SEE MORE PEOPLE DOING 'INNOVATIVE' TYPE THINGS LATELY THAN BEFORE. BEFORE IT WAS ALL ABOUT SIMPLE PAINT/CLEAN PAINT JOBS. NOW I SEE GRAFFITTI HOODS AND NOW BAYS...ALOT OF 'THINGS' TO SET THEM APART. BUT AS FOR ME, I STILL LIKE THE CLEAN LOOK, BUT I STILL ADMIRE THE NEW THINGS THAT COME THRU
People are afraid of acceptance and criticism. Do what you like and love it.
If you are going to look like the rest, do it beacuse you love the look, not because everyone else does.
Get used to having the same look on every car.
This comes to mind!

This is one of the best written threads I've seen in a while. I fix up my car to my liking. Not anyone elses. If they don't like it I don't care. If they bash me, I don't care. Look at the well done show type cars that everyone bashes. When one of them pulls in to a meet or a show, where does everyone flock to? They immediately circle around that car. Why? Because it is bad ass. They may talk shit about it later but while they are graced with it's presence they admire it. Most of the time it is jealosy. If they had the money they would do it, but they dont. If they were to try, they would have a half assed car with shoddy cheap parts, crappy body work, primer cause the paint job is expensive,then guess what, then they fall into the category of TRUE RICER. Therefore it has became much easier to bash it and say how rice it is, to make their car look better.
PS: Also a lot of the "kids" have never seen a real true nicely done up all out car in real life. It is always more impressive to see it in person than on a forum or magazine where you can't truly see the quality, and appreciate the time and effort put into a car like that.
I agree with mike. a nice clean hatch with slips and lowered, NOT LAYING FRAME. but can still go over speedbumps with out damage!
Hella stock member!
I mean thats just simple and i like it. I dont care if its JDM or CLEAN or whatever. IMO Toms hatch is still one of my favorites. and its just a simple paint job with Black Spoon wheels. Its no uber JDM and has some stupid interior. Its a simple hatch with an R motor.
Its functional.
Hell i liked Buckys EM1. It was nice. I liked the paint scheme, the interior, the bay, etc. it wasnt anything super ground breaking, but it was just well thought out and well done IMO.
I like Jays S2000, its not crazy over done, its got just the right amount of offset, i dig the hardtop (which is getting played out lol).
Bens TSX is subtle but clean. It has expensive wheels, expensive brakes, but it doesnt scream at you. Its also a $30,000 car.
Some of those K Swapped cars at IA were pretty cool. But i guess i just dont get excited at stuff like that anymore, well not enough to drive 3-4 hours for a weekend to go look at them.

You have a acura integra, perhaps the most commonly modded import besides the civic....so it seems you are part of the problem you describe lol
So don't complain about how ppl are scared and how you don't like the scene when you are doing NOTHING to help change it to make it better. You yourself are conforming to the problem that you are describing as your integra blends in with every other modded teg...to inspire change and promote change you have to start with yourself...
Wow...um, why are you blasting the OP? Did you read his post, or just the title?
A lot of you in this thread are saying that you think being slammed on the ground is "retarded" and "fucking stupid" and "no functionality." Yet you keep saying "make a car your own" and people need to stop hating.
Well, I think gaudy body kits on ANY car is fucking stupid. That's why I don't have one. Hell, I hated the things when they were "cool."
My car is slammed on the ground, but I like it and I'm "doing me." So don't be so quick to jump on anyone that says they think a certain civic looks terrible because it has a body kit, crazy fiberglass audio setups, and an insane paint job. They may not be "nut-swingers." They might just be someone that hates body kits. Because just as you think laying frame is stupid, I think body kits are stupid.
I'm all for people doing their own thing, and I won't hate on them for doing what they wanna do, but that doesn't change the fact that I hate it. Most of you commenting in this thread make a point to tell OP's that you think their slammed, on Rota's, plaid interior car is "just like everyone else's" and "non-functional" and "fucking stupid." In reality most of the people you are criticizing are just trying to do them with the limited funds they have. If I don't like someones car, I tell them. But I do so with respect to the work and effort they have put into their car.
It's human nature to want to be like someone you respect and have what they have. That's why there is so much bandwagoning going on.
Most people don't have the ability or knowledge to be creative and individualize a vehicle on their own. Or the confidence. They're simply lemmings just doing what someone else has done to feel accepted.
You have bandwagon cars and you have bandwagon mods.
ANY car can be made to look nice and/or perform. You name it, it doesn't matter what it is, it CAN be done. Simple modifications and additions can make a car flow. It's still not going to appeal to everyone though. Nothing will. There isn't a car in the world that will appeal to everyone or even a majority of people in the "scene". That's the way it has always been and will never change.
I respect cars that have quality and function in mind...without shortcuts.
Stance is the number one thing for any vehicle but there will always be people taking things to extremes too...no matter how impractical it may be. Stick on fender vents make me laugh at first, then I get agitated that someone is actually making money off them lol! Same as the LED washer's a decade ago. It's normally the most ridiculous things that become a fad.
As a whole, we have the ability to make the car scene anything we want and we can take it in any direction we want.
lol @ ppl calling rubber molding a front lip
did you read my post? I am not blasting him, simply calling him out on his hypocrisy...Wow...um, why are you blasting the OP? Did you read his post, or just the title?
He is complaining about the scene and how it sucks because NO ONE IS DIFFERENT AND EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME, when he has ONE OF THE MOST COMMONLY MODDED CARS MODIFIED IN THE MOST COMMON WAY
I guess......
ARE YOU SAYING YOUR MAXIMA IS TRULY CUSTOMIZED/DIFFERENT?
lol do you agree with me that nightteg is a hypocrite?
NO I NEVER SAID MY MAXIMA WAS DIFFERENT U DUMBASS. PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE I POSTED THAT KIND OF STATEMENT, BECAUSE I DID NOT.
MY CAR IS NOTHING SPECIAL, BUT I AM NOT HERE CRYING ABOUT THE SCENE AND MAKING THREADS ABOUT IT EITHER.
I COULDA WENT OFF THE DEEP END AND STARTED CRITICIZING YOUR RETARDED ASS FROM TEH JUMP CUZ U SWEARING MAXIMA IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF ALL DEPENDABLE CARS AND SHIT AND THAT ITS THE BEST CAR TO MODIFY AND WHAT NOT, BUT I REMAINED CIVIL ADN ASKED U A SIMPLE QUESTION AND GOT LASHED AT...NEXT TIME I WONT CHILL OUT...HAPPY BIDDINGS DUMBASS
I mean the OP is like any other integra you see on the road, but hes not stunting in some parking lot every weekend thinking its some car you have to bow down to.
Ive always said its the ATTITUDES of the people that drive the cars that is the problem

YO SON I LOVE MY CAR AND MAXIMAS ARE DEPENDABLE CARS, BUT A FWD CAR COULD NEVER BE A GOOD CAR TO MODIFY FOR SPEED IMO. THATS WHY MY CAR IS 100% STOCK YOU IDIOT....
YOU KEEP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH AND ARE GOING AROUND POSTING I'M SAYING THIS OR THAT WHEN I'VE NEVER SAID ANY OF IT.
DO YOU EVEN BELIEVE THE GARBAGE YOU POST?
No I do not. Please see quote below.
YOUR STUPIDITY...ITS BESIDE ME
very true....very true.......
I did that post, and apparently he said it blends in with every other teg too.....maybe you should re-read that post....
So after you do that, let me ask you again, is nightteg a hypocrite?
I am not an asshole nor trying to be, but there is a difference between reading something, and understanding what you've read...I think some of you like sammich need to learn that
I LIKE THREADS LIKE THIS WHERE WE CAN HAZ FRIENDLY DEBATES MOAR MOAR!!!!!
Ok, I give up with you.
There is a difference in READING, UNDERSTANDING, and TAKING OUT OF CONTEXT.
Modding to YOUR liking, or MODDING to SOMEONE ELSES LIKING is what it comes down to...which is pretty sure where the OP is going. OP, please correct me if I am wrong.
you did not answer my ? yet
Is someone who drives one of the most commonly modded car modified in a common way who complains about the scene sucking because everyones cars looks the same a hypocrite?
I'm bored...can you tell
I answered you twice. NO!
I'm going to reach through this screen and Chuck Norris slap your ass
i dont think its that people mod for other people. its just hey are afraid of being criticized , and i dont blame them honestly. With the amount of blind hate on IA..its no surprise that its gotten like this. Nothing wrong with an opinion, but some things can be withheld, especially when you know you wouldnt say any of that to the owners face..
I'm going to reach through this screen and Chuck Norris slap your ass
Hey! I got a message for you!

Yeah, no one has the balls to slam someone in public. Not sure if its fear, or some form of courtesy. The V meet would be a brawl
