dear ricer,

if your buying a body kit for $600 and you gain 3-4 more air vents, tons of extra "bumper", and it never fits quite right, chances are you bought yourself a POS kit. if it glows... chances are i'll laugh at it. think of cars as artwork, make it pleasing to the eye, not harmful to stare at the car. think about what your doing to your car, theres a thin line between fabricating your own stuff and rice. expensive cat backs cost alot more than a muffler for a reason, they are better. mufflers(cheap ones) may look the same, and some may even be able to fake the sound, but your paying for r&d not a metal can with a muffling ring around the outside of it to kinda quite down the exaust. i can design that, just wont make any power. remeber your honda's function, it may be able to compete in many of the same catagories as other higher end cars, but dont be dumb, dont argue that your car is better because it has less displacement and can almost do the same thing as other cars. vtec isnt the end all answer for problems and dont think that it is. sure alot of our honda engines gained a nice amount of power from vtec, but its not a turbo, its not even close. it gives you a little boost in the topend and still lets you get 25 mpg(is that what you guys get? im getting 19

). oh and while im thinking of it, you know those badass paintjobs you see on hotrods and high end show cars? well vinal isnt the same thing. would you think a $250,000 painting is the same thing as the 12.99 poster reprint you can buy? no high quality paintjobs are artworks, not a sticker. learn about the performance of your car, and be open to other ideas. not everyone at every stoplight wants to race. just because im driving a honda with an exaust dosnt mean i wana play f&f and race for slips. sometimes i drive my car to the store, or to work, or out to a friends house because its my main means of transportation. i dont need to be asses with getting revved at just because you see an exaust and a stock vtec decal on my rear bumber.

sincerly,
the honda owner who wants to sell his car cause of you
