It all boils down to the fact that people have different tastes, Its the same for everything else in life you may not like a certain pair of shoes and other people may... Etc, Etc...

I agree with Thermal on this one.. Its their car let them do as they please..

BTW, I prefer stock or JDM..

I'll agree with that. Some types of altezzas have their place on certain cars.

I agree I think the Red/Clear ones look the best of all..

Please dont think you upset any of us cause you didnt...

Itll take a hell of a lot more then that around here... (from most of us anyway..)

There are 4 Types of Import Fans...

1- Ricers..I dont need to explain this one..

2- Show.. Peeps that spend insane amounts of money on looks, super clean, tricked rides..

3- Go.. Guys that spend all their money on go and dont give a sh!t about what the car looks like..

4- Mild-Wild peeps.. The peeps that do both... Some way more then others but search for the happy medium.. Good looks and Speed..

I think most will fall under 4.. with a shakey scale leaning either more towards the show or more towards the go..

5- Po' Boys/Gurlz... The peeps that would be happy to be categorized as either of the 1-4 but don't have the money to do any of 'em!
