trying to find the words

so your saying that even if that is what you like, don't do it cause everyone else is doing it? that will stop when people loose intrest in cars. i am not saying you can't try to be different, by all means do you. but copies are made cause the formula works.

Yeah, I can understand people wanting to do a mod to their car bc it looks good. I guess I really just have a problem with people not being creative anymore. It is like nobody even tries but the Honda guys, and only thing that came out that I thought was cool was the graffiti bays.

Not everyone who modifies a car is trying to be original or push the envelope. If they see something they like, and afford it, they do it.

Also, just because it's played out on IA or the automobile internet culture in general, doesn't mean they are anywhere near common. Sure I've seen VIP LS460's all over the internet, I could assume that everyone with a $70k Lexus must have bags and 11 inch wheels, when in reality, it's like 5 guys in California who's pictures get posted every time the word "VIP" appears.

i am more into function than anything else so my builds are more performance oriented. i tend to like it simple and clean. many people happen to feel the same way so there are going to be a few million look alikes. i have only owned one car with a body kit and it was a yota starlet widebody. other than that clean simple and faster than stock. usdm/jdm, whatever you wanna call it, as long as i am happy with what i have that is all that matters. BUILD FOR YOU!!!!!

So the Honda guys tried being creative by doing what VW owners had been doing for years? It may not seem like it but all the "trends" we're seeing now have actually been going on for a long time. There isn't much left to do that's unique and actually useful. As long as people do shit right I don't see why it matters if they're hopping on a bandwagon or not, those guys aren't going to be the ones to start something new anyway.

I don't follow VW and probably never will. I wasn't saying that they are the first but look who got all the attention for it. I definitely love function over style, but style is what I like to see to to push the envelope. Anybody can drop loads of money into a car and make it fast and handle well. It isn't as easy to excite me when just looking at turbos, superchargers, and all that shit bc I see it all the time.
