What NOT to put on an Import

[Zachp911]

Post what you think does NOT belong on any Japanese car

I think altezza lights, underglow neon, 10 inch wings, huge bodykits, etc. do not belong on Imports

[jcsaleen]

Book shelfwing, "battle kits" neon intakes lol (pimp my ride) and many other pretend look fast things that constitute as rice.

[antivtec]

i agree with all of that. and heres something you shouldnt put into an import... money

[Killswitch]

Everything made by APC, cheap universal mufflers, ugly "street fighter" body kits, ugly-ass spoilers, and chrome tail lights. None of these things belong on an import, or any car.

I don't think you should be talking about imports in general, there are some really good imports: Ferarri, lamborghini, rolls royce, bentley, porsche, mercedes... anything not from north america could be considered an import. I think you mean japanese economy cars.

Anything that doesn't serve any purpose other than to look flashy or draw attention. This includes five-foot tall wings on front-wheel-drive economy cars, five-inch mufflers for 100-horsepower four-cylinder engines, and Lambo doors on a $2,000 Honda.

It wasnt towards any German or Italian cars, I meant it for the Jap cars. W/e this thread is pointless lol

Ludespeed is right. You never hear of a Ferrari being referred to as an "import". Anything from Italy or Germany or Britain are what we call "exotic" cars. This thread is about Japanese cars and what we hate to see on them. How often do you see a Ferrari with ricer equipment on it?

But how many of those cars are really IMPORTED?

Don't even talk about Italian cars, their fit and finish are awful, you can see most of them has problems on that. I know, they are assebled by hand, but can't they tell it when finished? And if we can tell, they should be able to tell too.

At least they use quality materials in their cars...not as much can be said for Japanese car makers.

Quality material is more important than fit and finish, huh? Nice theory.

That means if your car is made out of let's say gold, it doesn't matter even it the bumper has a 1-ince gap between it and the body?

And you have what to back that up? I have been around a lot of Ferrari's and I have yet to see a stock Ferrari that has any kind of fit or finish problems. I can't account for any of the other Italian cars but Ferrari should be excluded in that statement unless you have some kind of pictures to back that up.

Simple answer to the original question. No sport compact (From any country) should have: Fart cans (on sale for $13.99 at AutoZone), Giant wings, stickers worth more than the car, Neon glow on/under/between/around/up everything, exhausts made for no purpose other than to sound like a pissed off hornet, and symbols for companies nothing on your car is in any way associated with.

I agree. Ferrari's are hand-made, so every little detail comes out perfect. That's also why they cost so freakin much.
