here's another ...

 

Thanks for all the complements everyone.

However, not to jack this thread, but does anyone remeber way back in the old days ( 1999 :P ) When it was cool to own a car with just a few tasteful mods?

I was in the house-hold library when I found one of my way old back issues of SCC. (Again 99-00-ish :P ) Inside this issue was a bunch of VW 1.8-T cars. Man, most of these machines had small-to-nill body kits and just a few choice suspension mods and moderate near stock interiors. Man, my car is nearly the same way and I love the thing. It seems like in most of todays Sport Compact community you need to update and change the car every 15mins. Anyone ever wonder if the retro trend of tame-stylish cars will return? Anyone want to start the new--my car is slightly moded but I love it and can drive it revolution?

Any ways -- back to the topic. Ever thought of not getting a full body kit? If you love your car, why not update the grill to something smooth (or go to a bumper converion [98 to 01 or vice versa?], add some HID's if that's your boat and tweak the suspension a bit and Enjoy the hell out your car b/c you love your car:thumbup: Which do you think you would like more, body kit or a trick custom tailored Recaro Full adjustable seat...hhmm the seat can travel cars

 

I think the clean look will always be in style. It's true that SCC used to showcase a lot of cleanly modded imports, and I think they still generally go for clean exterior stying (at least more so than other trashy import magazines), I think that that now, the don't usually showcase a car unless it has like 20-30K dumped into it with turbo's/upgraded/single conversion turbos, etc. I think it's mainly because more people would like to see a Supra that's modded to the gills and has 600rwp than a civic with simple bolt ons like they used to have in their mag. But I think they generally still like cleanly styled exteriors. They ripped on those cars they tested from that new fast and furious movie.

On a side note, is it just me, or are they kinda nissan nazi's?

Oh, and I'll take some of those custom Recaro seats. You know where I live, go ahead and ship me some.
