I think I may have been partially misinterpreted. The post that really triggered this thread was a new GT owner putting some Cobra R stuff onto his car. Since it didn't have the same performance as a Cobra R, he was therefore, lame.

I just find an increasing number of these "Look at his clown" threads on here, and the overwhelming response seems to be distaste for almost any appearance modifications unless the car has some serious engine mod to back it up.

I don't like rice (especially so on a domestic), I don't like total posers (drag look a like with 2.3L making 88hp), but I don't like to see people getting bashed for putting sweat and money into their cars to make them look nice. Falsely advertising that your car is FAST when it's not is lame. You know "SPRAKILA" plates on a 4banger or something, but if they aren't flaunting their mAD SkILz, and they've done some minor improvements on an otherwise bland car, I give it the thumbs up.

I also give the thumbs up to performance enhancements.
