    People are sheep by choice, dude. Not by force.

    The veterans know what looks better generally/what functions better vs what doesnt. When I just got my Z and I showed up with a bunch of ebay parts painted different colors, I would have gotten fucked up. I have 2 choices, either I can keep the car I created, or I can use better/more pleasing to the eye parts. I've got knock off wheels on my Z that I get shit for all the time, but I dont care, cuz its my car. He should use the criticism for potential guidance rather than strict rules.



    TL: DR : If you're so easy to change something, you werent that attached to it to begin with.
    same here on the wheels. i have never been a brand whore when it came to wheels because of so many company's making knock off's. the only thing i did when it came to name brand stuff was when i would buy a front bumper,lip or full body kit. i would go to the source like wings west,c-west, buddy club because when you buy those things from the company, they always fit better with hardly any modifications.

    Not to mention if something happens I would rather be replacing a $150 XXR than a $1000 volk xD
