Can Someone Please Rate My Exterior, Tell Me What I Should Upgrade???

I want to up grade the exterior of my vehicle, i dont want a cliche car. But on the other hand, i dont want to over-do any aspect of the body. Any hints compliments, or ideas?

Car looks good except for that wing. I don't like them to begin with, but I think you could find something that would look better. Also them damn emblems need get shaved - all stickers removed unless your being paid/rewarded for having them. Possibly lower it slightly.


I saw a white teg with those tails, except it was painted white on the inside part around the lense- almost looked good.

I get alot of complains for that wing. but..... on the other hand, i dont like the shopping cart look with the alluminum racing wings though.
o and btw, u dont like the ghetto imitation sponsors???? most are kinda like a reverse sponser
i had to pay to get the stickers (ebay 9.99 6 pairs)

lose the wing. see if you can find the factory one and put it back on. the car looks good asides from that. I would sugjest lowering it too

yeah i agree with them the wing looks funny. but your right i hate the shopping cart look. i'd try and find some thing in between also shave the emblems.

i agree with everyone...get rid of the wing all together. why have a wing, when your car is front wheel drive?

i agree with everyone...get rid of the wing all together. why have a wing, when your car is front wheel drive?

bingo. i think i'm falling in love with this chick already. :eek:

Those tail lights are becoming more regular than stock ones. btw I love the color of your car. Contrary to the fwd/wing comments, they can still just plain look cool. While kinda ricey I dig the type r ones like in my sig.

A functional rear wing on a FWD will increase downforce on the rear, adding spring rate. It actually will increase (safer)oversteer in high speed corners.

Sorry but I personally like the wing. It's not the aluminum one. Who cares if the wing is functional or not. It just depends on what you want the car to look like. Alot of people on these forums think you should just keep the oem bumper and add a lip and the stock spoiler (if any). But the way I see it if you just add a lip and keep the stock spoiler...we have too much of a stock car. If you want a very different looking car from stock, good job. I love your car. Only thing I would change are the stickers. I'm not a fan of vinyls. I mean 'to each his own' but unless you are actually sponsored by those companies...I don't think you should. just my opinion. :2cents:

First, I agree about the stickers, they need to go. That's kinda ricey anymore. About the wing, it IS better looking than those aluminum pofs. If you like it, keep it. It's YOUR car! Correct me on this somebody, but I never thought that those a/m fiberglass spoilers were that effective, anyway... But he's goin' for looks, not performance, it seems. As far as lowering, if you've got the cash (around $2500-$3000 installed) I'd go for airbags. This way you can adjust your ride to any height at any time. Personally, that's the ONLY way I'd go if I wanted to lower my car, 'specially with bodykits. Unless you're driving the same streets over and over, you never know when you might get to a shitty, pot-hole filled road, or a driveway or hill at a steep angle. Also, they're cheaper than hydraulics, and you don't have to worry about the lines busting and leaking hydraulic fluid over everything. Finally, those rear lights...I agree with the earlier post, you ARE seeing them more often than OEM. I'm a Honda guy, not a teg man, so I really don't know what other options there are for you, but I'm sure there's a ton of other a/m tails. Again, correct me if I'm wrong on this. Just my :2cents: . - S

I like the car, the color is great. I like the wing, but not an your car, they look better on a bigger car, like a 4 door accord. I like big wings, but not tall ones. Maybe try looking for a wing that's shorter and more sleek looking. The other thing that I'll add is the wheels, they don't really jump out at me. Maybe one size bigger, something that stands out a little more. Have any more pictures of the car? It looks good though :)

Color is great. If you're keeping the graphics (NOT talking about the stickers) and you do upgrade to larger wheels, I'd say going with a white powdercoated set would look awesome AND different on your car. What do the rest of you think? I normally hate white rims, but I think this car can pull it off.

As an aside, how come you guys always suggest shaving the emblems? Is it to give it that "clean" look? A lot of people (ordinary, non-racers. And lets face it, they ARE ordinary) do not know what a car is UNLESS they see the emblem. I know several people like that. It's crazy to me, 'cause I've kept up with cars since I was a little kid, but...like I said, I'm not ordinary. Anyways, I just wanna give credit where credit is due, and let people SEE what a great car my 4th-gen Honda can be, and maybe even get people interested in buying their own. Whaddya think of that?

Thanks. -S

Loose the wing
Loose the stickers
Even loose that body kit - honestly dude, it looks terrible. It looks like the mold got caught in a metal bender, then they glassed over that. I would put the stock bumper back on and lower it.

Integras are damn good looking cars, they don't need body kits to look good. My younger brother has one. Most people just put them on b/c they want every one to know that they have one. But really everyone (people who aren't into cars) just looks at them and thinks "what the hell is wrong with that car?".

Not saying that this is you, but its generally what happens.

When you put a body kit on a car, it should look like it came that way. If it doesn't look like it came that way, then it obviously doesn't fit the car!

The invader kit, the shotgun kit, they are all the same. Totaly not clean. They look like an abomination of fiberglass.

If you do want a wing, then I go with a cleaner one. Hard curves simply just aren't asthetically pleasing. The human brain tends to be drawn to gradual flowing curves that take your eyes around the object, not to hard curves.

Psionic knows his stuff...

Again, it's been said many times I know, but there's no reason to put a wing on a fwd vehicle.

sooooooooo......all of the FWD imports in the magazines and on the street with the wings, have them on their for no reason at all? cmon now, these people must know a little more about their cars than anyone in these forums does. Dont get me wrong, i understand your points about why have a wing on a FWD vehicle but do u think that these import racers just have a wing just to own one????

Well, I like your car. It is very unique, the color is nice as well. The spoiler is kind of ugly, you should get a bigger one. And the chrome rims, they have to go. Swap those chromes for the Impulse RS's. And also lower the car.


I'm talking about the Isuzu Stylus XS in the background!! :iceslolan
It's a cool car, I own one ( Just an S though). Checkout my avatar.

The object of a wing is down force. Front wheel drive car's need more down force applied to the front as where rear wheel drive car's need more down force applied to the back. Basically, you need more weight added to where the drive tires are located. Adding a functional wing to the back of a front wheel drive car will actually reduce quarter mile times, reduce top speeds and reduce your handling ability. This is all because down force on the back end
reduces the weight on the front tires! If your looking for function, think about adding a functional front lip to your front bumper (carbon fiber is always nice). Rear wing's on front wheel drive cars are only meant to give a better look to the car. Some racers do use rear wings though to evenly apply down force in conjunction with a front lip, but most of us normal Joe's will in no way benefit from them.

Dude, the owners of the cars in magazines don't know shit about cars.
1/2 of them take their cars to body shops to get ther body kits installed. Few cars in magazines are actually race cars, most of them are show cars.

And no, they don't put wings on their cars for no reason at all, they put wings on their cars b/c they think it looks good :biggrin:

And remember, just because its in a car magazine doesn't mean anything. 1/2 the information in these magazines is either inacurate or downright WRONG.

I know I'm going to get flamed like a sausage here, but the truth is, car magazines are for posers! All enthusiast magazines are for posers! Same goes with computer magazines, they are for people who dont know shit about computers. People who read car magazines can name any body kit/rim on any car, or they understand how an exhaust system can reduce back pressure, or they understand why you can't run alot of boost in a high compression engine, yet they don't know which way to turn a bolt to untighten it.

This is probably the millionth time this has been explained, but spoilers do NOTHING on FWD cars. They hardly do anything on RWD cars (F1 cars, different story). They basically BLOW on your car to push it down. Think about how much air you would need to BLOW your car down! And besides, its only blowing down the back end, which isn't your drive wheels, so even if you are going fast enough to create non-negligable downforce, it doesn't change anything anyways!!!

You are better off loosing the spoiler and benefiting from the weight savings...

<disclaimer>
This post may seem a little rough, but I have next to zero respect for people that read through car magazines, have other people install coffee can sized mufflers on their cars, then go cutting infront of me on the highway b/c they think they own they road. Jeez, no wonder the muscle car community makes fun of us...

I'm sure as hell not gonna flame you. I agree with you on everything. Those magazines aren't performance magazines, they're RICER magazines.

I was kinda mad when you were generalizing the magazines, but then I got to the last line in your disclaimer. I realized you were talking about the import mags. I subscribe to a couple of the muscle car magazines (Hot Rod and Hemmings Muscle Machines) and I've got nothing but praise for'em.

As far as spoilers not doing anything on rwd except for F1, well, I'm gonna agree for the most part. You're not gonna get too much of an increase in times, but what you will get is "drift protection" at high speeds. This is essential. Hence the spoiler of the Superbird.

The January '04 issue of Hemmings MM actually has an article detailing the differences between a '70 Plymouth Superbird and a '70 Ford King Cobra...the Ford lost a lot of power due to not having that wing...


Yeah, to those people wantin' to flame ME, I know this is the Honda/Acura forum but it IS on topic... Just tryin' to give some examples.

<continuing disclaimer> :)
I should have said *most* enthusiast magazines are for posers.
I'm sure there are a couple out there that aren't bad.
And I didn't say spoilers do nothing on rwd cars...

Hey, I'm not gettin' on your case, man. I'm sure you're goin' from experience. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you have knowledge of computer and import magazines, but not much of muscle/hot rod mags. I was just sayin' in THAT genre they're some good ones.
And I know you didn't say a wing on a rwd drive wouldn't do anything. You specifically said F1 racing, but left normal applications a little hazy. I was just tryin' to fill in the gap.

Your car looks sweet and i like the color and rim. your wing looks perfectly fine except the side,,the side of wing should be pointing downward instead upward. Have you seen any air force flight which has all wings pointing downward,it makes whole body looks heavier,more massive and more balancing,,,,

how can you say pc magazine and pc world are bad? there's a lot of helpful advices in their columns. don't tell me you've NEVER learned anything out of those magazines?

anyways, back on topic...i agree with most of psionic's previous post. you need to take the wing off or at least get this one ---> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33638&item=2450928159 , take the body kit off, put back the oem bumper or at least get a 98+ bumper with lip kit, get an oem style carbon fiber hood in blue color, get a different set of rims, lower the car, and you can keep the m3 mirrors :)

Agreed. I couldnt have said it better. If I had an integra to fix up.. first thing I would do is change the front end to JDM ITR front. Now with this front end, aftermarket bumpers seem to look better. Also, if you're going for a show car, get bigger rims, lower it slighty more so the fender sit flush with the tires... no, or very little gap... the wing is horrible, the fake sponsor stickers are obviously fake, the pin stripe can stay.

I often see alot of cars with sponsor stickers just like yours. In less than 5 seconds I can tell if they're real or fake. For example, manyh companies like Veilside dont sponsor, and high brand name companies wouldnt sponsor POS ricey looking cars. (not saying yours is one of them) Also, if you're going show... dont mold your bumpers and skirts unless you want to be bumped up into a higher catagory to compete with.

the only thing i like about your car is the color..and the style ofthe car..it doesn't mean that i thinkyou car is su ck but for real dude..I like the color and the style (repeated)...

Yea, too many people put stickers one there car because they think it's "cool" to have company names on, or for other reasons. I do have 2 decals on my window, but those are actually sponsor stickers....and of course I didn't pay for them, you don't pay for the stickers when you are sponsored...the first is a local tuning shop (they sponsored me in a show, paid my way into a show, I had to park my car with their cars) the other is Decah, I am sure you have heard of them. Those decal's are on there because they had/have to be...I didn't put them on for looks, it just clutters things up.

You should get a roof airdome - they're pretty cheap I think - I saw this one Corvette aftermarket parts website that had them for sale - you'd probably want to take it to a body shop to have it installed properly though - it's functional too.

I just can't remember where I found it at - you'll have to look around for it - the site had a checkered flag background.

If my civic didn't have a moonroof, that's what I'd do.

Get new wheels, get rid of the front bumper (maybe a bomex one?) and get rid of the stickers and it will be nice...i like the color.

Roof airdome huh.... You mean a roof scoop? And it functional??? What... for his secondary engine in his back seats? Or for his ram air-air conditioning?

If I remember correctly, the Stillen front bumper looked pretty good. I dont remember what it looks like while on the car, but alone, it looks good. Its basically a replica of the OEM style S2000 front bumper modified to fit the Teg. Really nice and clean (if I remember correctly)

Somebody's been playing too much nfs underground...

lol! Is that game anygood? I've never played it or even really heard much about it.

It's fun racing-wise, but slapping on 4 layers of vinyl, having super ricey body kits, big spoilers, neons, and altezzas give you style and reputation points.. I brought it up because you can also have a hood scoop. The game's worth buying though, just because the racing is really worth it if you're a fan of the other billion nfs games. The 4-player online drag races are pretty wild too..

I havn't checked that game out yet. Screen shots I saw were way way to ricey. I know the more like that your car is, the more style points you get. Maybe I'll have to go check it out after all. If the racing's fun, I can get over it.

What I'm talking about is a vent that is sealed by a rubber gasket that seals or opens up when you move a lever on the interior - I think you'll see they're quite popular with real road course race cars since a lot of them don't have any means of cooling off the interior of the cars due to the desire to shave as much weight as possible. Smart@$$.

are you for real? :eek7:

so cuba3377 should rip out his air conditioning and get that bird trap? no offense but i don't think cuba's 140hp's is considered a "real road course race car" and i don't think anyone will think so either.

</disclaimer>

I am late on this but I just had to comment, 1st I have to say the reason the muscle car community does not think much of the import community is probably because "we" do not have repect for our own community, any one who does anything for their own liking to their car for purely aesthetics is called a ricer by the guys in the community who value go fast over looks.

I can not say that the comment about the car owners in and enthusiaist mags themselves are false but I will say their is some value between the pages and while it is true that many do get someone else to do the work, do not count out the many to whom it is a labor of love.

I think people should remember that the "tuner" market is not really a new one, young people have always wanted to do 2 things with their cars: look good and go fast. As for your car homie, it looks cool to me all that is really important (unless ur making it a show car) is that you like it.

are you for real? :eek7:

LOL! Nice one! I couldnt have done it any better! lol. "bird trap"... good one lol

Anyways, Ispankyourmom as for being a smart@ss... hey, if the opportunity presents itself, who am I to turn it down :) But like gnushit said, its kinda pointless in this scenario. Also, the topic of the thread did mention how he wanted to make his car look nicer... Rate my exterior.

What's with all the absolutely retarded noobs lately?? One wants an intercooler on his n/a engine, one says his altezzas are pimp and my engine is just an LX with a dohc red valve cover, now this guy says we should all put roof scoops on our Civics? If I were a mod my ban button would be worn out from cleaning up all the stupidity.. They make a totally off the wall post, turning the whole thread into flames.

I didn't say we should all put air vent domes on the roofs of our cars, did I moron?

I was just pointing out that if he wanted to further alter the appearance of his car, he could do that if he wanted to - not too many other import cars have that.

It's starting to sound like I just pissed in your wheaties by coming up with another idea to further customize ones ride - what's the matter can't you come up with any original ideas by yourself?

And please point out where I said anything about getting rid of his AC in exchange for the roof mounted air vent. feel free to grow up pal.

not too many other import cars have that.
For the same reason not everybody has an intercooler on their non-turbo engines, because it's rediculous. You noobs are like angry little ants, no matter how many we try to kill off, more and more just keep coming and annoying everybody.

You're the noob - you're still running your mouth and not quite grasping the point - my point is (try really hard and grasp what this thread is about - never mind I'll spell it out for you - someone wants us to rate the exterior of his/her car) I was just making a suggestion for cosmetics since this guy wanted to know what we thought about his interior. By the way, yes, I would do it to my car because not that many people have them (I've only seen them on a few import show cars in magazines)

By the way, way to show your maturity by being annoyed by someone making a suggestion that would alter the appearance of a guys car who wanted us to 'rate his exterior'.

So what grade are you in anyways - something tells me you're a little too young to be obsessed with driving - I'm guessing 8th grade.

Alright, all you guys that are jumping on to me because of a cosmetic suggestion I made are either really really dumb, or you're just trying to give me a hard time because I'm fairly new.

Let me just put it to you guys like this - I don't care for drag racing, I'd rather have a car that can hold a lot of Gs on a skidpad, and will hit a decent time in the quartermile (no faster then 10s - which probably isn't going to happen with a civic while trying to keep a street legal look, and no slower then mid 12s) I like roadcourse racing over drag racing - road racing requires you to be a better driver through and through (they aren't the best drivers in the world - that judgement goes to rally racers)

Point is - the roof air dome/vent would be desirable for someone with my tastes because the interior of a car can get hot - especially when your body is handling the Gs that you put yourself and your car through when your trying to take corners as fast as possible without losing control of your car, or rubbing into an opponent - using my AC would cause me to use more gas, and would result in me having to pit more often. I'm not saying that I will be able to turn my car into a serious road course GT2, GTS, GT5 what ever competitor, but that's not to say that I couldn't take it up to Napa and run it on a course with some friends for a day.

Get over it.

Your criticizm is the result of a weak mind.

dude, try to comprehend this...we're not picking on you cause you're new, we're picking on you cause you're a retard for saying "roof airdomes" are functional on an fucking car that produces 140hp's. you really think people will say "hm that integra must be fast cause it has a roof airdome"? how many "g's" will the integra put out anyways? if you're so fucking hot, than open up the fucking window (that's what windows are for btw). it's sad, i'm only in the 7th grade and know more than you'll ever know *tsk tsk* :disappoin

I didn't say we should all put air vent domes on the roofs of our cars, did I moron?

stupid ass, go re-read my first post. i never said everyone should go rip out their air conditioners and install a roof airdome.

I was just pointing out that if he wanted to further alter the appearance of his car, he could do that if he wanted to - not too many other import cars have that.

there is a reason why not too many other import cars have that roof airdome. no wonder everyone's picking on hondas (cause of riced out people like you) :(

It's starting to sound like I just pissed in your wheaties by coming up with another idea to further customize ones ride - what's the matter can't you come up with any original ideas by yourself?

"original"? you just said in your other post that you saw it in a fucking corvette site and in "real road course race cars"...now that sounds like you're a copy cat, copy cat.

And please point out where I said anything about getting rid of his AC in exchange for the roof mounted air vent. feel free to grow up pal.

what's the point of you having an air conditioner anyways? just rip it out and you'll save a bunch of weight cause we all know you're a real road course race car driver :)

k, this will be my last post on this subject, feel free to flame me however you want. hopefully i made my point clear enough that even you can understand how ricey it is to have a roof airdome on an integra or even yet a civic.

Alright, alright. Everything that everyone wanted to say has been said, in regards to this whole airdome ordeal. Some people think its cool, and some dont. The problem with people now a days is that whole free will crap. What the hell is up with that? lol.

Bro, you're not being flamed cuz your a newb. Or at least I dont feel its because you're new to the site. But for future refferance, just some advice. State your opinion and back it up with some solid facts if people challenge you. And if they flame you, and you feel that they are being immature, dont become immature yourself to fight back. A wise man once said "you become what aggrivates you". If you become immature, the whole thread becomes a slightly more educated version of "I know you are but what am I". And we ALL are more mature than that.... so let us not come to that. If I were you, I would have posted some pictures of what this air dome is. Maybe some examples, charts, diagrams... something other than "hear say" or opinions. Someone once bagged on Mugen body kits. I busted out diagrams, pictures, and even wind tunnel tests to show how functional they are. After that, I gained his respect, and he fell in love with Mugen after that.

Ispankdipshit'smom - "My car has a moonroof - I can't do it with a practical amount of money (I'm sure people are starting to see who's full of it out of the two of us) - however I can just open up the moonroof in place of running the AC - not running the AC will also help your cars performance - although in my case I still have the extra weight of the AC equipment (and I'm in Cali so I'm not gonna own a car with out an AC). I still need my car for a daily driver. One more thing before you start calling me 'riced out' - my car is all stock - it was a Civic Si, but it got stolen from one of the previous owners (I'm guessing the second one after he bought it from a dealership selling it used) but now it's an EX with a D16Y8, five speed, EX hubcaps, EX interior, and it's all stock except for air intake, but the air intake was on it when I bought it - I'm obviously not gonna take it off and go back to stock. You want to run the VIN # on carfax? I'll tell you right now, my car will get an engine swap well before I start investing in looks - as soon as I get a better job, I'll definitely try to get a Dart Heads B20 or B18 block with a Dart Honda head if the job is that good to where I can afford to drop $10K on an engine - you can call it Rice all you want, but if it's smoking your jalopy you at least gotta respect it (I would never race a Vet though in my import - regardless of whether or not I knew I could beat it - just outta sheer respect for my ultimate dream car - the LPE 427TT Vette)."

dipshit - " 'original?' you just said in your other post that you saw it in a fucking (Ispankdipshit'smom kisses my mom with this kind of mouth - she likes it when he talks dirty) corvette site and in "real road course race cars"...now that sounds like you're a copy cat, copy cat."

Ispankdipshit'smom - "Ok, now exactly how 'original' is your car as far as standing out from the crowd goes? Oh yeah, I forgot the closest you get to driving is pretending like you're driving while sitting right behind your short bus's driver's seat while drooling all over yourself and making stupid confused faces as you try to figure out how she drives an automatic. I'd say that if you had one on your (imaginary) car, you'd start seeing more pop up around your area - but you'd be the trendsetter not a thoughtless clone."

dipshit - "what's the point of you having an air conditioner anyways? just rip it out and you'll save a bunch of weight cause we all know you're a real road course race car driver :)

k, this will be my last post on this subject, feel free to flame me however you want. hopefully i made my point clear enough that even you can understand how ricey it is to have a roof airdome on an integra or even yet a civic."

Ispankdipshit'smom - "I obviously don't plan on getting rid of my AC - but if I were racing on a track or dragstrip I wouldn't use it at all. If your definition of Ricey is to go overboard with appearance with no balls or functionability of anykind (like spoilers on the trunk of frontwheel drive cars - which is what I'd imagine your dream car to resemble) however the dome would allow me to cool the interior of my car off without creating much drag - so that would really be more of a luxury option for the driver to have in his car - did you ever think about that?"

Calling him dipshit.. boy, thats really mature! I said STOP IT! I dont want to have to repeat myself. I dont want to have to delete your posts to prevent idiotic disputes. If you want to debate the functionality of a certain modification, do it like an adult or if not.. dont do it in the forum I moderate. You're now wasting my time and others.

You're point is it is functional under certain circumstances. We all agree that, YES, it is functional depending on the scenario and car. His rebuttle is that whether or not it is functional, it is pointless to have on a 140 hp integra that has no intention of extreme racing where any drag would be an issue.

Ispankyourmom, you have lost this debate because you lost the point of the thread... although you did make the point that your mod is functional, it is still irrelavant to the debate/thread because it does not relate to the integra... the guy that started this post. Now, I dont want to hear anymore garbage about this arguement unless its something worth reading and has no immature name calling or flaming. NO MORE BICKERING!

just to add in (post will probally be deleted)

the "functional" roof scoop is not unique or orignal
the nasty eclipse from fatf had a roof scoop so you arnt starting a new trend it has been played out for quiet a while now

Hes not talking about a roof scoop.. but some kind of vent. I really dont know what the hell it is.. but its not your normal "run of the mill" roof scoop.

Thank you very much. I can't stand bickering like this int he forums. It ruins the whole thread. I don't know why many of the new members feel a need to jump straight into a flame and escilate things when they feel wronged, but IMO, one too many new members has been doing that lately. As I am sure you'd agree, all of our pateince is growing thin. YOu put it best, it turns the thread into a slightly less integelent version of "I told you so but what am I?" Hopefully, some the the newer members will begin to realize starting constant flame wars over absolutly nothing will not be tolerated.

ok, back to the subject at hand... you have to change those wheels. like the kit, spoiler, and can live with the stickers. you need different wheels.

I was flamed first pal - it's natural to want to stick up for yourself.

Anyways, me returning to the topic - IMO you got like the ugliest front bumper available - I want an R34/Octane or C-West front bumper - unless I could get the money to pay a body kit manufacturer to custom build a Ferarri 360 GTC ground effects kit for my civic - but that would be incredibly expensive, and the company wouldn't be able to mass produce them - Ferarri has already sued this one company for making an F50 kit for the old Pontiac Fieros - it was a damn good knock off too - you couldn't tell it wasn't a ferarri unless you saw the rims (except on the car in the Pic which just so happened to have real ferarri rims) interior or engine.

ME PERSONALLY I WOULD GO ALL JDM :smokin: FOR ME JDM IS NOT ONLY A UNIQUE STYLE IT ALSO DOESN'T GET AS MUCH ATTENTION FROM THE POLICE THAT JUST MY TAKE ON IT

unless I could get the money to pay a body kit manufacturer to custom build a Ferarri 360 GTC ground effects kit for my civic

My car has absolutely nothing on it for which I could be called a ricer - except for a fart can on the tailpipe, but that was on there when I bought it.

What's wrong with having something built to look like one of the most beautiful cars on the face of the planet IMO - the Ferarri 360 GTC - especially since that is the closest I'll ever come to owning a Ferarri (I seriously wouldn't buy one if I ever became filthy rich - I'd buy an Ulf Sensor and 2 LPE 427TT Vettes - one with an auto, and one with a manual for my performance cars)

You don't drive a Ferrari, you drive a Honda. God damn, can't any of you fuckin noobs get that through your crackbaby skulls? And congratulations on posting a link to the thread we're already in.
