Why would you get a body kit first? You'll end up spending 1000$+ for the body kit with install, another 1000$+ for the rims, and still be driving a slow lancer that can get it's *** beat by every car out there. Get some engine or suspension mods first before you try to look fast. There's nothing actual tuners hate more than people who look faster than they really are, they're like people who look smarter than they actually are. I'd rather be smarter than I look, and similarly I'd rather be faster than I look.

well dude, some people might not want to mess with their engine, its someone else's problem if they get annoyed that we look fast and we aren't. i dont want to make my car fast, just pretty--becasue i take pride in my baby Wilma (yes my car's name is Wilma. hate on it. lol). but some people just dont like actually making their car fast, to each their own.



and dude, i agree with what some other people say, should have done something instead of just posting a stock car. but is is pretty. lol.

I just think it's stupid to put a large and bulky body kit on an essentially stock car. Part of the problem is I've yet to find any body kits that look right apart from the JDM Cedia front bumper. All the other kits available just look way too big for the car and are nothing but gigantic wind blockers.

True, but some strokes just seem silly to me.

Apparently you have a lot of ricers in your area.

Just make sure you do not make your car look like something that came out of The Fast and the Furious.
There is a big difference between having a beautiful car and being vulgar.
