my sons 1st car

[2000gt21]

i can see people are still hating in here. opinions are one thing. if you dont like it fine. to each his own. and as far as being his show car, we are redoing it plus adding alot of new stuff to it. thanks for all the comments good and bad. plus all the tips we appreciate.
i just wonder why everyone hates it. i see alotof cars like this at the shows with crowds of people looking at them but this one doesnt cut it. oh well who cares. it didnt cost anyone on here a dime so all you have to do is look at it when he pulls up beside you at a show or meet. i know there was a 97 at tunerfest almost the same color scheme and all that was getting alot of looks. but maybe this one doesnt deserve to be driven, maybe we should just crush it and put it out of its misery. lol! not! we will see yall around. peace.

You kind of made no sense there, dude. You ask for opinions, yet when ones you don't like are made, you call us "haters" and then say that it's fine if we don't like it. Which is it? Are the opinions ok or not necessary(even when you asked)? Later, QD.

Very true. One of the deals is, though, is that a lot of people(teens, mostly) buy car that's already been modified and then show it off as their car. Technically(if it's paid off) it is their car, but the modifications aren't "theirs." See where I'm coming from? The majority of the people that are, or get into, this hobby, start from scratch and do not buy cars already done. That's where a lot of resentment comes in. The person didn't "put in work" like the guy that has dumped money and sweat has.

i was just saying that i dont understand why so many didnt like it.

Most of that reason falls into the above quoted response.

I wasn't offended...just curious. Later, QD.

Well said. +1

Just to elaborate a little. Its not only the fact that someone put the mods on the car on their dime. Its the fact that it is someone elses idea and concept. Nothing wrong with starting with a car like that but I think most people would agree it needs to be re-worked so that it is your sons idea. Removing all the decals, new kit, wheels, and paint would be a huge step in the right direction of making it his car. Good luck with the project.

its weird at the varsity and big meets, the really done up show cars get all the looks and ppl are always lookin at them and askin questions about them. no matter what u all say no one can deny a show car, cant help but look. everyone is in this "clean" stage its nothin wrong with it, but dam everyones car looks the same nowadays. a 1500$ stock car with some 5000 jdm wheels is sooooo cool nowadays.. but i cant argue with anyones opinion..
