Anyway, back on topic. I'd paint the hardware. It's still visible from eye level and kinda stands out.
it does stand out. all the bolts are gold. brackets are silver. and some of the hex bolts are silver also. it really does stand out but it makes it look more "official" if that makes any sense. i can easily paint them but really 50/50 on it. i kind of like the look the hardware gives it.

big difference i bet. that thing will be a monster on e85. whats your redline set at?

thanks for your opinion. have a great day. bye!

Surely you must care enough to have asked. You find it incredibly offensive that people answered your question.

Discouraging people from giving honest feedback only undervalue your own contribution to this site.

i was thinking of painting the bolts but decided not to. looks just fine as it is to me.

Nobody is attacking you, your car or your taste. You asked for feedback and you got it. If you cant handle honest and constructive criticism presented in a mature and polite way, then please do not ask for it, and my personal reccomendation would be that you should refrain from giving input on this site if you cannot take even these meaningful insights from other members. You discredit yourself and your opinions by being so defensive in your responses.

Ok man, you win.

Now leave my thread please.

Oh, and for the record. This thread is about the diffuser. It is not about my choice in mods or your opinion on mods other then the diffuser.

Sorry to bring it up 05, but i just can't get over how f***ing slow Ryan.Kauz is. How can someone miss the point so badly and still think so highly of themselves?? You have some serious patience my friend.

Ryan, seems you missed my reply earlier. Why don't you go read it now and then reconsider your egotistical, snide ramblings.... ahhhhhh what the heck, let's recap instead:

1. he's looking for opinions on the part, not the car. Sooooo yeah, Ryan, you missed this, great job!! .

2. you posted a huge picture of an obviously hideous car. WOW, guess what, someone took offense to it!? Was this the OP being too sensitive?? NOOOO it was you being a douche. Guess what?? That is NOT "mature and polite" you tool. That's called being tactless. No one else's comments started anything. Ohh guess whyyy, you made your point in a ****ty way and then posted pictures of an asstech..

Do we have time for point three before leaving the office??? YEAH WE DO!! 3. You keep going on and on and on and on and on like you were right. Guess what you *** pirate, not only did you miss the point of the thread, you made you point in a $hitty manner, and now you have the audacity to talk down to the OP like your some classy, learned logic professor?? please dude, get over yourself ummm hmmm 4:57, 3 more minutes....

ummm so yeah, sparknotes: you missed the point, you made your point in bad taste, you were wrong and can't admit it, annnnnddddd you're just an overall annoying human being. But thanks for killing the last ten mins of the work day I'm off to do some logs!!

LOL

that made my day haha. you dont have to apologize for anything man, you speak the truth! That guy was getting annoying so i just agreed with him so he would stop posting.

but thanks for the backup! you seem to understand you dont go into someones thread and pick every little thing "you" dont like then post a picture of a hideous car to compare it with. and the thread was NEVER meant to be about my other mods! lol just the diffuser.

i pride myself in the way i have modded my car and how it looks though. i have spent 5+ years modding it with my own hands ever since i bought it new back in 05. so for someone to say they disagree with some of my choices is kind of annoying. specially since 2 of the things he picked out are mitsu oem parts that are completely functional. did not do them for the "looks" . every one has a right to their own opinion though, theres just right and wrong ways to express them. and i usually listen to everyones opinions unless they say them with a douche attitude like this guy

but have fun logging! im about to go log my self also, its getting really cold out here and our e85 has dropped to e80 hope the 5% doesnt effect the tune with the colder weather!

fact: You wanted everybody to love your new mod

Fact: I dont love your new mod. It looks micky mouse and that you have tacked on one too many things

Fact: You got butt hurt that not everybody loved your new mod (again, it looks overdone, you try too hard)

Fact: It pissed you off more that somebody was polite and didnt have to result in name calling to get their point across

Fact: Get thicker skin if you enjoy being here

Fact: I should have just yelled "RICER RICER RICER" and how your car looks like aweful, rather than a well constructed argument.


You and carloverx should get a room, soak eachothers cork and man-love on eachothers mods.

Rank your mod: 3 out of 10

Rank your communication skills: 2 out of 10

Rank your skin thickness: 1 out of 10

Rank your level of butt-hurt at somebody not liking the 8lbs of adhesive used to hold your "mods" on: 7 out of 10

i asked for every ones opinion on it. i did not expect EVERYBODY to love it.

you liked it at first but seems your feelings are hurt now so you say it looks mickey mouse(what ever that means)

i never asked for opinions on ANY OTHER MOD. the title of the thread is "Rexpeed VA-style diffuser installed."

notice the first pictures i posted were of the rear end. because i wanted opinions of the DIFFUSER and nothing else. dont know how many times i have to say that all the other shots were posted as requested.

it didnt **** me off you were polite with your point. it did annoy me that you picked out everything YOU didnt like and then compare my car to that hideous yellow car you posted.

why is my car riced out? like i said before, 99% of the things installed are functional and for a purpose. there are thousands and thousands of evos with similar mods as me. we must all be ricers. funny how you are the ONLY one that feels that way though, everyone else has been giving me compliments and an 8 or above out of 10

and now you are judging me and giving me, personally, a rank? seriously? how old are you?

lol and you call me butthurt.

just grow up, quit posting, and move on.
