The metal work is incredible. If he were to delete the gigantic wing it would look even better. I'd like to see the front of the car, but it's true that there is at least another 600lbs of metal on the car.

My car is au naturale. Besides, Honda did an incredible job of designing the Integra, who am I to change that? Car thieves love Integras around here, but only if they are VTEC. Which mine, from the outside, is not. No alarm, no leather, no wing, no rims.. Nothing visibly worth stealing here.

Not to mention, it's what is under that matters. You won't find anyone over 21 worth his spit that will argue that point.

I can argue that easily. It's all about what you want to get out of a car. More power under the hood generally comes with other problems such as worse gas mileage, legal issues, worse polluting, and reliability issues as well.

If you want a car to look like you want it, who says it has to be fast?

I understand your point but with the performance of the engine comes the need for the performance of the suspension and tires to be able to handle that increase. This is where spring and strut packages come in as well as rim and tire combos to maximize the use of that engine throughout the entire car.

So to a degree you are right but to a greater degree you are also wrong
