I'm also 23. I've always been a fan of the clean simple look. You can do alot with less. When I had my '85 Z28 painted I went all black with just two silver Z28 badges. I got more damn compliments in that car than I ever imagined. As long as you have your stance and good looking paint, you'll turn heads where ever you go.

32 here. I want my appearance mods to only be noticed by someone else who owns one of these cars. And when they do I want them to go wtf!! how did you do that?! So I guess you could say that subtle is my thing. BTW my feelings on appeaance mods are pretty strong. the biggest taboo is to rice a f-bod or vette. Saw a 97' SS 30th anniv. the other day, had a 3' tall aluminum wing and sidepipes , I wanted to choke him, Did he realize that there were only like 750 of those cars, probably didn't care....

I'm old enough that most of your Mamas have forgotten
my phone number
I don't go for "appearance mods" as a rule, unless you
count removing clutter like underhood emissions crap.
I go for clean and simple. Nothing that says "Look at
my arts and crafts prOjEct! PLEEZ!".

i'm 18, going on 19 this may and my taste in style hasnt changed, i like the nice clean looks of a factory car, but i'd like to highlight some area's of the cars features to bring them out more (not like litterly highlight it with the pen but make them more bolder, like the lumps on the hood make them buldgeier)

AARP = American Association of Retired People. It's kind of like AAA for people 50 and older.
BTW, did you ever notice how young people are always "going on..." something as though they can't wait to get older while the older folks want to delay the inevitable as long as possible. I'm getting to the point where if nothing hurts when I wake up, I figure I must have died during the night

19 here. I feel that simplicity is style at it's best, especially on these cars. When people start going nuts doing up every little thing on their car it just starts to look like garbage. Body kits, 20 inch rims, and interiors that will make you go blind, are better left for hondas. Just my 2 cents.

I like big wings and body kits... putting money into making your car fast is pointless, not like you can use it on the street. And why do you guys hate sponsor stickers?? i think that they make the car look more like the 'racecars' we want them to be.

Im 19, and I think my taste in cars is very tasteful. My father got me into cars at a younger age, and he owns a 1969 Camaro Z11, 1993 Corvette, 2005 Silverado 3500 (notice the pattern of American cars ) I currently have a 1974 and a 1992 Pontiac Firebird. I plan on putting a V8, hopefully a 350TPi, into her. In the 1974, I hope to put a Big Block Chevy with a 4 Speed Munci.
You be the judge.
/edit: A side note, I bought both of my cars, still paying them off, but both will be paid in full by me.
