I remember back when I first got into tuning/building cars in a serious way, was with my '88 Volvo 744 turbo. One of my best friends had a little brother with a Chevy Malibu he'd inherited from his grandfather... and was busy trying to make it fast. Intake, exhaust, lowered it, etc.

But the thing I remember most was the huge "WHOA!!" that rippled through the male teen crowd when the rumor came out that he was getting a "Samurai-style body kit!!" ... it was the hottest news of the year.

Luckily, though, he never got it.
