I Complete agree with the flat black paint. If you want to cover up your mismatched panels, at least do it as clean as possible. nothing looks worse than a crappy spray bomb job. i think it looks great when its done properly. ![http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z291/ajgillett/shecahgo%20toofowdayesssexx%20meat/IMG_8587r.jpg](http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z291/ajgillett/shecahgo%20toofowdayesssexx%20meat/IMG_8587r.jpg) if i ever saw this guy going down the street id thumbs up ---

There wasn’t much of a scene, so you looked to Japan for it. When drifting came, you would look to Japan because they have been doing it organized since 95. And when you want the latest dish on innovation and style today, you look to Japan. Canada is doing what Japan did pre-2002, that’s 8+ years behind. Nothing here is original, so that’s a moot point because everything done here was just as “JDM fanboy” at one point or another as what I said.

not liking a particular style is fine, everyone is always gonna hate something. but you can never argue with someone for having a “bad” style because they would say the same thing back to you about yours. its like telling a honda guy tucking his wheels is gay, then he tells you having them out last the fenders is gay. or telling someone that his backwards hat is gay, when he’s gonna tell you that your frontwards hat is gay. you dont have to agree with all styles, just dont say its “gay” the same can be said about what you are into. no one will ever win. ---

Honestly it depends on the car. I find something I like about every different car. I love Roel’s because it has that rough look. You can tell he’s taken a long time to build the car and has been putting money into expensive parts. I love John’s cuz it looks like a fucking Mario kart, big wheels and fucking wide stance suit it. I like Bog’s because it’s the epitome of OEM styling… OEM aero, Meshies and a perfect height. Each cars style is a direct reflection of the owner. My personal style on the other hand is something unusual. I love cars that look OEM (no kits, no twin 5" exhaust tips, no spoilers except a chibi or Wangan wing, etc.) Personally my style is one that I feel a car should be dumped on all OE body panels (for example S13 K’s aero on a S13 coupe), big and wide wheels, and just overall a stocklooking car. If someone can have a car look completely stock but be done so damn clean it drops jaws, that is the epitome of styling to me (much like Wayne, Mike, etc). ---

Also stretching tires… counter productive… but its ‘style’… my tires are square/lightly stretched 255s on 9.5"s but I always shoot for a square setup… from a performance perspective.

Heh, sick car choices Feint. Fits my style exactly. FD looks beast, so does that first 180… Style of your car, should suit your own taste… if you worry about what other people think, well… you’re not very grown up. Does anyone really think that telling someone their car looks gay… or that their style of car looks like shit will ever go anywhere? They’ll tell you to fuck off, you’ll argue, exchange a few more words of hate towards shit and at the end of the day the guy who has his car the way he wants and is happy with it will laugh at the other person. If you choose how to make your car look/perform based on everyone else’s opinion… your just a sheep followin’ the herd. Pick what you like, be unique, No different than choosing if you like Nike, Adidas or \, some love Nike and hate Adidas, and vice versa. Who gives a shit, respect the time and effort people put into their cars and if it’s not your thing… laugh to yourself and look at a car that does suit your taste… There’s tons of shit I don’t like… but unless your a fucking Dodge Neon with a 6 foot GT wing and a 12" exhaust and every color neon you could think of, hell while your at it a STROBE underglow WITH every color… try and understand their perspective. ---

Personally i dont care what you do to your car. If you wanna roll around in a zip-tied POS thats your deal. I think it gives mad charactor and stuff but its not for me. The only thing i really kinda think od stupid is this whole hella flush lyfestyle thing…dont really quite get it. I think a dumped car with nice fitment looks good but when you have the whole lip of your rim sticking out like a good quarter or half inch with no tire i think thats pretty stupid.

Well to add my other 2 cents, clean is always nice! but I personally like the cars that come out of Marks shop, or UNION. only because those cars do get used and abused… properly.
