Im 23, working towards a 4th gen since my 3rd gen was stolen, I definately like cars that are different and unique instead of blending in with the crowd.

23 in july. I've had my car since I was 20 and this winter I've been modifying the **** out of it. It takes a while to develope a decent taste for appearance modification on an f-body. You literally have to see everything that's been done. I consider my modifications tasteful, but who doesnt? Don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldnt do to a car, especially if you've owned your car a few years.

25 Here.. I tend to be alittle more open to things that are unusual/different than most my age, but still like the things done tastefully.

29 and I go for appearance mods based on the car and objective.... if someone is building a eurotuner for a car stereo comp then I can dig all the "rice" stuff and I can greatly appreciate all the time and effort they (or the people who they paid) put in to it. on the other hand everytime I see my dads roadrunner red on white leather restored close to original I get a freaking hard on....

I guess it's just that it's a pewter car but it doesn't seem to have a depth of color....just shiny....

not saying it's bad, it's a very good looking shot!! just saying it's a different look.
and that quote, I feel, represents the kind of "opinion" that I give people when I do post and I think I phrase it well enough not to offend.... I think....

I actually think this is a good poll. Ive been here since almost the beginning and Ive noticed that anything but stock (Appearence wise) is rice, wether is GFX, lights, etc... It just the "old school" mods that get the praise. ETC.. cowl hoods, etc..

Im 27 BTW.

22 here, I have always wanted a Camaro, It began with an 87 IROC that I never ended up with but when I saw this car for sale I was 19 and I just could not pass it up. And it was not given to me either, I am working two jobs right now while going to school to pay for pretty much all I have.

27 here... Ive always found that subtle appearance mods work best for my me. It seems when people see the subtle changes Ive done to my car the "wow" factor is just as big as a major change.

19 - i think my car looks good, so that's all that really matters. gotten quite a few compliments on it too. granted there is alot of things i think are ugly but if someone wants to put a 2 foot tall double wing on their camaro, that will just make mine look 20x better.
