My '74 has chrome trim, chrome bumper, and chrome wheels...just depends on the car. Then again, I don't make 1000hp so my car isn't "cool" in terms of tuned cars...:rolleyes:

And flames DO look good if they're coming from your exhaust (without spark plugs IN the exhaust) or if your tires are on fire from burning out...just like a VW Fox :rolleyes: ha

well, basically anything in the APC catalogue. Even if it looks good, you are still sporting crap. Im not any different though. Some apc stuff seems ok for middle of the project stuff, but thats about it.

almost anything chrome
touring wings on front wheel drive cars
but most of all, old piece of shit hondas with cut springs and their drivers leaning back so far they can barely see over the steering wheel, but it's cool if you have R Racing seat covers.
oh yeah and type r badges on civics, if you have one, you don't

Eric Happy Meal
10-19-2003, 01:34 AM
lorabbit, you realize that spoilers on fwd cars actually do help right? helps with downforce while cornering and keep your car planted if you happen to have fast car that went over 140 mph.

Chrome looks good on suvs and some cars I think. I got a pic of a very tite benz I saw in the states with spinners in Vegas that was from Utah, if I can get ahold of a scanner I'll post.

i dont like how people take off their hubcaps so it looks like they have black rims on and they're hardcore. Also i hate people that do the poser lean. The worst i saw was actually on a neon, with the guy leaning SIDEWAYS coz he ran out of room to lean back

They are stock on IS300's but I think what they're saying is they're ugly. i think they look fine on that car and ONLY that car. Perhaps you guys who think they're fugly may be negatively influenced by every pickup truck and every second Civic with them. I think they look fine on the Lexus' but have been bastardized by people with poor tastes.
