I agree----it is all about the OEM look; my friend Mike who recently moved from here in New York to Florida, and who is a complete car nut like me, tried to make me understand this....that when you get a new car, it should look good enough already whereby all you want to do is add tinted windows...the rims should be 16's (stock) at least, the thing should have a rear spoiler and fog lamps, and it should be loaded with leather and all power (if you can afford it); he recently traded in a Pontiac Grand Am GT for a brand new VW Jetta----top of the line in black, rear spoiler, leather, heated seats, the works...all he did was smoke the windows....and he drove down to Florida with it....he didn't add no massive aftermarket wheels, or add a wild body kit, or black out the windows, or add a huge wing off the trunk...

BUT....I gotta tell you....sometimes I see Accords that make me very envious dude....there is some kid in my neighborhood who drives a 99 or 98 Coupe like me, but his is in white, and he has the OEM body kit (I think) but this thing is sick----its lowered, the windows are blacked out and he has like MASSIVE chrome rims on this thing----plus, his lighting scheme is all altered with blue LEDs everywhere; this thing makes me jealous. It really looks like a drop dead show car. Suddenly, after I see him, my OEM loaded ride seems weak and unimpressive on the road....ever feel this way when you see a totally decked out, modded Accord on the road next to you? And I dont mean a riced-out ghetto machine...I mean something that just makes your car look so weak and insignificant in comparison.....
