    Well considering he followed the paint scheme of the "initial D" 86, so i'm assuming he's going for that look (tho i think it would look better w/o them too)

    Yea thats what I was going for even though mine's a coupe and not a hatchback. I dont think they look retarded lmao. But i understand how some people dont like them, and when i get tired of the look i can take it off.

    Yes my good man I am familiar with initial D. To each his own but I would never ruin an ae86 in such good condition like that.

    see? i told you you wouldnt understand, i wasnt trying to start a debate. just cause its a territory it means we cant have a cultural identity and pride? how does that make sense?

    2nd picture down, body lines flow, color looks good, wheels fit the car good, factory markings look way better than chinese stickers. Coupe body looks sleek and not like a snow plow. Skirts that flowed with the body lines would be a massive improvement.

    you're right about it missing the side skirts, they are in shop. i disagree about the 2nd picture though, the paint and body was not straight at all in person back then.

    if you mean the stickers they are removable, not really ruined.

    It's not that I don't understand cultural identity and pride, I have immediate family from Guatemala, so I understand Hispanic pride/culture. But why is it that PR's try to be so exclusive? that's like if I had a Georgia flag on my car and you commenting on it and me saying "you wouldn't understand". Just seems dumb. No debate needed, just trying to find logic in what you said.

    Not nearly the same (and i'm from GA). GA is as culturally rich as every other state in the US, sure it has it's own little quirks that make it significant in it's own right, but it's been apart of the US, for as long it's been the US.

    Puerto rico on the other hand has not had that luxury and in every right is culturally independent and as with any culture (i.e car culture and loud exhaust), people mark their heritage for everyone to see, buuuuut that's just my .02 % of a U.S dollar's equivalence in gold

    EDIT: @OP once again gotta say, "gahd, i love this car" would be better with boost tho

    I, for one, would love to be on the Dragon one day and pass him.
