Post your painted/custom ECU covers

[Catnip]

LOL are you really going to hang your argument on that? may want to rethink that statement

It was the easiest thing to go with.

But really... what's the con to having a painted ECU cover?

I despise Honda-Tech lol! The search sucks, the members are 90% japanese wheel nut riders because wheels made in Korea obviously don't roll the same. It was 50/50 on my porsche brake setup, people are like why not just use Accord or NSX calipers? lol! Maybe because they weigh 4 times as much and after doing a 5 lug conversion would cost twice as much lol and not work 1/2 as well?!! Everybody seemed to like my spoiler/splitter but everyone wanted one made for 1/2 what i had into the materials...not counting the time to fabricate it, lol! One of the mods took a month to mail my ECU because his "buddy" works for UPS and can ship it for free. I PAID him EXTRA to send it ASAP because i was using a p72 on a ITR engine lol. 1/2 a dozen PM's and a callout later [where i proceeded to get bashed saying give him time to send it] he finally mailed it. It had been a MONTH! I can't stand one make car forums anyways, they are always bashing other brands like theirs is god's gift on earth. A TRUE car enthusiast respects and acknowledges the good in all makes then a REAL car builder can make anything perform well and look good.

SHow me one car that benefits from having $3000 VOLKS on their cars with a +10 offset on their 92-95 180whp Civic and the REAL PERFORMANCE gains over say, a set of Rotas, and ill consider that statement.

But no, people dont buy those wheels on their honda for performance, its for looks, or for bragging rights.

Im talking about the cars like that S2000 that is posted or that SC300 with the retarded fucking offset that makes it look like a lowrider.

Im talking about the kids on HERE that rock some curbed up $2500 wheels cause they are RARE on their 140hp LS Integra and think they are gods gift to Honda.

Or they buy SPoon brakes for their 140hp powered Integra, or Some $1000 BYS wing that looks like complete ass cheese because its rare and JDM.

TO those people, yeah i laugh at them.

Theres no cons to a painted ecu cover, but theres no positives either, imo it was just retarded. Im not calling YOU retarded, and do what you want, but also be prepared for criticism, and i think this is pretty stupid

I love the kids an their retarded trends these days, nothing is about function anymore. Its all about who can come up wiht the next bandwagon bullshit craze other kids will go OMGSESSILOLIROFLCOPTOR

Lets make our cars look like mexican lowriders with shit ass offsets
Lets put little stuffed animals on our tow hooks
Lets paint our valve cover and airbrush it
Lets put $3000 wheels on my $1500 car cause oooooo they are rare and im an UBERJDMFAG
Lets slam my car on the god damn ground because it looks cool, but rides like shit
Lets Wire tuck my otherwise stock engine
Lets put a roofrack on my car even though i dont own a bike
Lets pretty much anything besides making my car fast, and follow everyone elses bullshit trends because i dont have the money to really do anything in the first place.
Yeah that about sums this whole shit up

These bold things make me want to leave the car world other than for transportation FOREVER!!!! I CANT STAND cars that are slammed to no return....where you cant go in anywhere without hearing obnoxious sounds of scraping parts. Its STUPID and makes you look dumb!! My car is stock height and I STILL have to take things at an angle and STILL scrape sometimes. Pisses me off.
As far as the expensive wheels.....if you dont have the fucking money to buy a car that is worth the wheels then maybe you need to be spending your money on MORE IMPORTANT THINGS!!!!! Its like people that live in a trash hole and smoke and drink 24/7 yet get gov't money. They are a disgrace to society IMO. Guess I just value money too much.....?
And the stuffed animals.....WTF? Are you 2?

Im talking about the kids on HERE that rock some curbed up $2500 wheels cause they are RARE on their 140hp LS Integra and think they are gods gift to Honda. This makes me think of other trends. Like girls who will take Gucci etc. brand name things that look like hammered ASS and they think they are the SHIT b/c they are carrying them around. WTF.

All of my opinions are in pink obviously.....

As far as painting the ECU cover.....it's whatever....a waste of time IMO seeing the it IS the bottom and cant be seen, but whatever. People get bored and do things just to be themself. I am sure we have all done useless things. But then again you look at those cars at shows that are modded to no end with EVERYTHING you could think of changed in some way.....maybe Evan was going for something like that? Or maybe he was just following a trend of such from places such as honda-tech? Who knows? I dont even know....dont care to really. It's soooo small of a thing that at the end of the day, it will be okay either way. The point is.....why dont we move foward and quit trying to bash each other. Point is proven from both ends.

And not Mike I am not saying just you. This whole thread made me kinda LOL.

Sammich has a point though about saying something negative about one persons stuff and then not expecting it in return.

IA is just...... IA. It is what it is. This is what you get out of pretty much anything lately it seems.
