I choose none of them, because everyone has there own likings. I like all of it. except ricer rides..

-I dont get 26's
19-20 thats still not bad but the hell is up with a car that has to be RAISED to fit the rims.
-I do get the show cars, alot look really nice, but alot also look tacky as hell, stock looking or close is my prefrence
_Other: i dont get rice
i dont like big wheels.........unless its on a truck,suv, or a chevy caprice, cutlass, ect.
i voted everything to make it look full
what i don't understand is the people who are into one scene, and hate on all the others. It's all in the same interest....everyone does what they wanna do, you should have respect for the whole tuning scene...not just what your into
i can understand 26s, but only a on a truck/suv that can hold them. I don't understand 26s on a vehicle that cost $500 (caprices, cutlasses). That's like putting an olympic swimming pool behind a trailer.
Word. Whether I like a certain type of car/scene doesn't mean I shouldn't understand why others like that trend. To each his own, especially considering everyone into autos is essentially "wasting" money in one way or another, whether it be on go-fast goodies or bodykits and paint.
lol everyone hatin on the big wheels... i rock my ghetto painted 19" w/ pride
I can still remember when 19s were unheard of.
I voted on the NOT UNDERSTANDING BIG WHEELS. But that is only in certain instances.
20's and up look best on full-size SUVs, not anything else
18-19's look best on the full-size sedans(I don't like them at all)
15-17 look great on the compact cars
I like my 13-14" on Old school Impalas and other old school Chevys and Caddys and other old big cars
Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
you would lolI voted drifting and JDM, cause I cant see why spend $100+ for a clock in the car...LOL, and drifting is just burning up tires in a parking lot...
i dnt understand show cars bc u spend g's to let a car sit and let somebody else tell you whehter or not they like ur car. ill be ready to kick somebodys ass if i got beat by a spray painted car or something stupid like that. lol!!!
thats very true
good point
YEA...IM AN ASSHOLE
i dont know dereksi i dont feel its really one scene the thing all scenes have in common is the ability to mod the car but based on hte individual use of the vehicle dictates which seen the person is into. a simple opinion i stay with a car is a tool for transportation meaning moving if i cant drive my car cause of a 5000K paint job then its ineffective to me and mind you i do have to vehicles with 3K plus paint jobs thats are not garaged.
people don't build show cars so that a judge can opinionate on the car. People build them so that they can show off their creative talents. They build them to their own liking. Unfortunately, the only competitive venue show-car builders have are car shows where judges who may or may not know what they are doing get to critique the cars. This is where you say, who cares what he thinks, maybe I win, maybe I lose, but my car is still tight and I still had fun at this show.
i think the show question is kinda funny b/c i know tons of guys w/ hot rods/choppers and people are like oh thats ok...WTF are you babbling about... i spend 70k on a hot rod its ok, spend 50k on a chopper its ok, buy an import spend 20k WTF are you doing jackass
My JDM valve stem is the shit.. and it was 90 bucks. for ONE.
Fuck Gheydm
Very true,its just the guys who just totally hate on the show scene.Its like they like to go fast and thats cool. But its like they hate on "show" cars. I personally like my car to look good and be quick. My car reflects me so I want to it look good. My car isnt a show stopper but it looks good to me. I could give a fuck what a judge thinks.I dont understand a car that looks beat to shit but its fast. I dont hate on it though.
YEA...IM AN ASSHOLE
show cars are not my cup ot tee but i dont totally hate on it
I say carbon fiber. It goes with show though. I dont understand the point of a CF hood that takes off 10lbs, but then put a 80lb sub box in the trunk. (not including the .0003% that buy cf for their advantage)
DING DING DING WINNNNNAR!!
I LOVE BIG WHEELS ON ANY TRUCK. ITS SO FUCKIN SEXY.
That added alot
YEA...IM AN ASSHOLE
sad thing is, i respect everyone for building what they do unless its just gawd awful tacky...but as far as every question/concern on that poll, i can understand why someone would want to build a show car, race car, drift car and all the above. I could go into detail about each but i don't see a point in going that far.
On a side note I'm just glad that there is that much variety for imports to bring to the table.
i dont understand people who know nothing about ANY SCENE, go watch f&f
and think that they are cool because they drive to pep boys and bought an
apc spoiler, hideous bodykit, and other things that would make anyone else
sick. It's all about originality but these people are doing things they dont
even understand. ask most of them how an engine works and the
i'm the shit look turns into the I have no clue face.
I agree with the big rims things on cars, but my car would look stupid I THINK with any bigger rims.. but would also look stupid with 17-below rims as well. Everyone has something they are into whether it be show, drift, or drag.. but thats what makes every car different.. It's what you like not anyone else.

the people like JDMshiznit are going to be kicking themselves when in 5 years peopel are gonna say JDM is rice
Val for President
Rather then getting JDM parts, everyone can just go with Autometer, Sunpro and APC
the show scene is fine, i dont like it, and i agree with BTEC, but if thats what you like, then thats fine by me.
my reasons are that guys taht are TRULY inthe show scene, are hard to find, just like its hard to find REAL "go fast" people. IE
A civic with a unpainted body kit, and Motegi wheels is NOT a show car.
A civic with a GSR swap is not a drag car.
Ive seen dereks car and his brothers, and i have scene bretts car, and a couple of the others. they are all clean and tastefully done. they enjoy them, and drive them so i cant say they are wrong.
Just like Peters car, Bees car, Windsor, etc. they all have fast cars, and they enjoy them, so i respect that.
its the ricers in both categories that gives everyone else a bad name

This is the best thing said yet..
Yeah thats what I dont understand too..
no im just saying that people seem way to bent out of shape over JDM or not
Val for President
Didn't pick one..
i get almost all of them. in moderation.
i dont get spending $70,000 on a $20,000 car just to have it ride on a traylor
adn i dont get having rims that are worth more than your car
but, as long as you like it and it makes you happy who cares. everyone has thier own opinionmof what looks good and what doesnt and whats rice and what isnt
