I never had a "ricer" stage. I've had my car since I was 18. I'm 21 now. I've done quite a few things from chroming all the accessory latches, MBA caps, entire undercarrage undercoated and painted gloss black, polished everything, yada yada...now I'm just in it for speed and everything is black. LoL
Here's a shitty pic from about a year ago when I went through the "bling phase".
The first one is the bling stage. The second was the beginning of the "paint it black and make it fast" stage. LoL

I'm 57 and I now own the car I couldn't have when I was young.
I guess I'm in my second childhood and I like being there. I like loud exhaust but not on the street because I don't want the law on my back.

I like subtle appearance mods. I prefer things that look like they could've been a rare factory option. And, I think my car does stand out.

Body kits, 20 inch rims, and interiors that will make you go blind, are better left for hondas. Just my 2 cents.

17 here, saving up for my LS1. I'm 5'7", 120lbs (damn I feel small - trying to keep my race weight down 
). As Animal SS said, "I like subtle appearance mods. I prefer things that look like they could've been a rare factory option". This is what I'm planning on doing. If my car ever looks like rice, I'm giving you permission now to kill me.

Going on 31 Next month. Have had my WS6 for a lil more than 2 years. I havent put but 4-5k on it. I am overseas paying for this thing...LMAO Plus trying to get settled in for future investments......Like a house and a real job that I can retire from.
What you do to you own ride is up to you, if others dont like it, then that's them. As long as you are happy with what ya got, that is what matters.....Well as long as it's fast.....
