i personally wont do conversions because i am also into perfromance but i think its interseting to see how creative people can be and how they do it. so no hurt feelings.

Most people that try to be unique ending up just looking stupid.

When I see a conversion, I stare the same way I would at a train wreck. Not out of envy, but out of pity.

well i spend $2000 on my JDM conversion, did it to remind me of home, never liked the USDM style, not sayin its stupid just not my thing, i see why you guys would do those conversions, like i said how many people are going to ask "hey what kind of car is that", guess its worth ever penny every times some one says "hey thats a nice car man" the $2000 i spent where worth it and you guys go head and make those conversions, not everyone will like it, but hey fuck them, its yor car man...

i just find that many people who do these things are looking for attention in some way. and i think people confuse attention and respect sometimes and that is where things get screwy.
