God damned hellaflush wheels.
So those stickers are not JDM Original parts..........Oh the deception!
I will admit when i was 17 i had a Blue strobe shroud on my sub LOL
I'd rather have that now than put wheels 2 inches wider than OEM with smaller than OEM tire sizes.
Yeah the day the DOT regulates how tires must fit i will be thanful.....Imagine the guy selling the tires what he must think when he ask what rim size is for fitting and hears about stretch
The angry bird shit has blown way out of proportion where I live. I see some new crazy shit everyday. Kids here are now trying to be hellaflushered and are failing miserably, it's quite a sad sight really.

Drifting poser kids. Skinny jeans, busted up 240s, they say they drift but can only do a random slide here and there.
Aerodynamic mods, even when functional, even when you track your car, but your car does not need them or you can't get the most out of the car without them anyway. For some reason the S2000 crowd excels in this.
I also hate the whole stretched tire/fitment scene, it makes no sense and makes cars look broken.
Slanted mufflers. I don't see the point why your Civic needs a tilted muffler, is there reasoning behind it?
Stupid trendy stickers such as "Canibeat" or whatever, you all know what I mean.
When kids "cruise" and have their WHOLE arm out the window, as if they're trying to touch the ground. I don't know why it makes me mad, it just looks stupid. lol
People who come to car meets expecting a scene from the Fast and the Furious. I don't go to meets anymore because of it and we had a group of kids come to an Athens meet a few months ago where we threatened to call the police, they thought it was cool to rev the crap out of their cars and do a few burnouts. After telling them to stop or I was calling the police one of their "models" yelled at me "it's a car show that's what you're suppose to do!"
Drift charms are for morons.
I can't stand sticker covered lips or "custom" painting.
The whole useless roof rack thing, if you actually ride bikes then cool, but when you put a bike rack on for looks you're a damn idiot.
Diamond Racing wheels also make me mad, I don't mind the wheels, but every time I see a car with some I immediately think it's a dirt track car or a circle track car and I'm disappointed when it's a stock Civic on JDM coilovers.
Front plates also anger me, we don't need those here. Especially the people I've seen lately that drill in an older GA plate into their front bumper. LOL

I swear to God that I'm going to start carrying a box cutter with me at all times and when I see an unattended "drift charm"...it will succumb to the pressure of a sharp blade...

^^ u dont know how long its been since ive been waiting for someone on IA to come out and agree with me...ive started disliking hooked up cars now because they all ruined it..the kids did... the neighborhood where i live, i got a buncha car friends...they put stickers on windshields, home depot lawn siding for a lip, painting wheels funny colors, drift charms...and the WHOLE RWD DRIFT SCENE...
plus friends on facebook taggng me on picturES OF shitty stanced cars with stretched tires
am reallly tired of it and now keep my cars stock
But....but...what about mine? Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
The fake applique portholes and vents.
Anything that was branded "APC".
"Fear This" vinyl and stickers.
Yes, stretched tires are ridiculous as well.
I have stretched tires and a sticker on my lip. I guess that means my car needs to go to the dump.
white power!!!!!!
Ya fellas are always mad at someone's mods.
Im sorry but it goes back to what i always say. This group of kids are so broke, and have NO MONEY, that they have to invent cheap mods to stand out (well, fit in).
I mean if you told someone 5-8 years ago I can put $500 hellaflush wheels on my car, slam the fuck out of it, and put stickers on it and its worthy of a "photo shoot" , you would have gotten laughed off IA or the parking lot you were in.
No one wants to work for anything anymore. They dont want to save up and mod. They want to do the cheapest shit they can find. Its also way more about fitting in. They all think they are being different, but in reality they are ALL THE SAME. They all want the stretched tire, 0 offset, car rides like shit, .25in of the tire touching the pavement crap so they can all have group therapy together at the Starbucks on Barrett and tell each other how awesome they are.

It's real easy to call out broke people and call them the face of scene nowadays, when in reality, there isn't anyone actually praising the 0 offset XXR, bike rack, sticker-bomb look you are talking about (except for the kids in the Car Pics section). Furthermore, to say that modded Hondas were better in 2005 (or whenever) is just ignoring the people actually building good cars nowadays. I'm sure if I went back to the Car Pics section of 2005, there would be plenty of tacky, ill-informed tuner Civics.
Here are some real Hondas of 2012 that people actually give a rat's ass about:
I can give credit where it is due, and there is a still plenty of guys out there building sick cars....and while a lot of them look like they are performance oriented builds I rarely see cars built and used at the track(drag or circuit) as much as I did 5 years ago, at least here in Atlanta. Maybe people are broke, or maybe they just have no desire to have a car that performs.
Things have undoubtedly changed in the import scene, but you have to remember that 5 years ago, import enthusiasts didn't really have the performance selection that they have now. For example, in 2005, if you had $15k to spend on a fast car, you could spend $8k on an Si and then dump $7k into performance and really kick some ass. Nowadays, if you've got $15k to spend, you are going to buy an Evo, STI, 350z, S2k, Mustang GT and be wayyy faster than a turboed Civic. Unless you are a serious Honda enthusiast (read: Californian), you generally aren't going to invest that much money on a FF car for performance.
I think you need to come down to Macon. I can't find anyone that builds a car for aesthetics down here. It's all power/drag/autox.
Because of the out of the box high performance cars on the market for 15-k-ish these days I would expect for the scene to be more performance orientated! The thing is though.....a lot of these performance cars like the Evo, STI, S2k and 350Z you can buy in that price now perform worse after they are modified because the owners lower them 4 inches and put thinner than OEM tires sizes on them! That is just retarded.
Just saying: I don't mind some slam and stretch, on a car that isn't a performance based car and as long as it isn't overly done.
