    Default Can we bring back customizing to the scene?

    you know... like for real... stop being anal about cutting cookies and do what you feel? like custom shit. as long as its tasteful. times have changed and so have whats hot and whats not. but i refuse to believe customizing went out with gawdy body kits.

    whats wrong with custom ICE or a tricked out interior? NOTHING imo!

    i want it to come back. people were happier back then.

    i'd like to discuss...

    People are trying to hard to fit in with crew or squad. They want "in" so they buy parts that the group will approve of. Before you know it teh squad is a homo group of the same cars in another squad, or intersquad incest, lol.

    Shits ghey; be your own person, damn. It's cool to ask for opinions, but don't let someone elses preference deter you of what YOU feel is hot shit.

    D.O. I'm diggin your hood design, and the guy with the alphabet soup wheels, lol! Shit is nice. Oh and RevMaynards headliner was very different. I would have done a different pattern, but he chose HIS taste. It was hott just cause.

    i think the biggest critics in the scene are the people who have never built anything worth looking at to begin with.

    i'm having fiber glass system built for my ride and i got gawdy two-toned wheels; i pay the note on my rides so i don't give a fuck what some punk bitch driving a spray painted 240/civic living w/ his parents thinks. i got better things to do then to worry about whether i fit in or not.

    I don't mind jdm cars or the current fad, I just think if your going to do something, Do it right not half ass. There are a bunch of people around here that lower there standards due to cost of the products. Personally I think everyone that starts modifieding cars has a vison of a clean ride, but then they rush it and realize this shit cost a money. And start looking at bad parts or parts that don't flow together, just because they wanted to get there cars finish quicker, Next thing that happen was when people started worrying about being rice. Like I like this hood but I am not going to get it because it makes me look rice. If you like Blast pipes and 20 inch rim go ahead and do it but don't get an ebay rims and muffler and expect the same outcome.

    who cares if the part is from ebay? or the car is "half assed"? or if someone decides to mod their car with cheap parts?

    its their ride and they paid for the parts

    but yeah.... everyone is afraid to do things and push the envelope because they're afraid of criticism. Criticism started this game but the folks that modded back in 2000 didnt give a damn about what anyone had to say. they started their own movement and carried on how they saw fit. big kits were hot back then true but that wasnt enough, because as someone said earlier it was also about EXECUTION. i feel its the same today.
    sure the kits of the past may never come back but once something is tastefully done why not enjoy it? stop worrying about what someone else thinks and be happy!!!

    as Airmax said everyone wants to be apart of these cookie cutting crews failing to have their own personality.
    its like limiting yourself to a certain type of female.
    I'll be Gosh DAMNED if i only found black hoes attractive. WHY?!?! when there's soooooooo many white creamy goodness bitches out there?
    naw say'n?

    Little Johnny: "Yeah, thats cool! We already are 90% JDM with our ebay parts."

    Unique Guy: "Hey, nice cars! Can I hang with you guys?"

    Little Timmy: "Dude, you have a genuine Bomex bodykit? Thats rice! At least you painted it though. Why do you have 18's on it? The built motor is cool and all, but the rice wheels and body kit slow it down. JDM is the only way to go fast and be clean."

    Little Johnny: "You seem cool, but you have to sell your bodykit and get some blades, fat 5's, or 16" Rotas. You know, make your car clean"

    Unique Guy: "Fuck you, fags. Go play in each others tail pipes."

    Lol, I wish I was "that" guy at the time. I was unique though. Why the hail do I wanna have my car, that I (or parents) paid for, look just like another mans shit? That is the ULTIMATE GHEY! If the look is just that sick, then maybe we have an arguement.

    My accord had a ebay lip on the front, ebay sides, and a genuine wings west rear lip. Car was not rice, but it was mine. I did dat shit, biatches, lol.

    No, seriously, stop being ghey people and go find yourself.
