Default Poll: Understanding LS1tech Appearance Opinions

I've been following LS1tech since I picked up my Z28 last summer, and I find myself wondering what the average demographic is on this site.

When I see people screaming "lower it", or "rice!", or saying they love their loudmouth exhausts... I am just left wondering, what's the average age here.

I'm not sure this poll is allowed but I'm curious. I did make it private so how you vote is not public, just in case you care. If it gets wiped, so be it.

Peace.

I am 23. I had bad taste in appearance mods until I was 20, so yes - taste does change with age.

21 here, im guessisng most of the users who flame and have 0 credability for their opinions are like 16 or 17 and had a car given to them, where as people with educated, and tasteful responses to most topics are in the 21-40 demographic, and have worked to earn their ride.

Lets see, I'm 18 and I would have to say in the past two years my taste hasn't changed much and I dont think it will too much, at least not until I am an old man. lol I am gettin into Hondas now though, looking for a commuter got me interested in them. Not ricers, but fast, clean Hondas, so dont hate. lol

I'm 19 and consider myself open minded to appearance mods of any sort. If I like it, I'm not afraid to say so. I'd rather have a unique Camaro than a clone.

Im 18 and you can look at my cars and decide for yourself if my mods are tasteful or not... age has nothing to do with it, ive seen 40 year olds with ugly *** vettes and camaros so its all in the person and what they like.

33 here, yep...I feel old! Especially with all of these "18, 19, 23..." guys!

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". So personal taste/style really only applies to the personal decisions made while doing the mods on your own car. Everyone elses views on those decisions are OPINIONS only and they will all be different.

One thing I have learned in 33 years is that you only need to make yourself happy, everyone else can just take it or leave it.

44 - Old Man on the block I imagine. I love our cars. Like stated above, it's whatever you do to your own car that makes you want to go outside in the middle of your favorite TV show and look @ it and drive it. Everyone else's opinion does not matter.

Edit: But it does give you a big smile and a warm feeling all over when they like what you've done!
