Default acura wild setup -- sega continues

well some history. a while ago an acura guy posted on the acura forum about his car "under construction", and i posted the link here and of course, a lot of people here felt his car is hideous. here's the link:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hreadid=106205

to make it short. he bashed people who bashed him on acura forum and he got banned -- strike 1 (i am also a moderator there). he signed up on clublexus and of course, he got banned as well -- strike 2. well tonight he posted on acura forum again and insulted me, so i put up my reply and banned him again -- strike 3. here's the link:

http://www.acuraworld.com/forums/sho...&postid=620172

take a look at his "finished" acura tl. i don't know, you make the call.

some highlights:
1) staggered wheel setup on a fwd car
2) a lexus gs veilside rear spoiler on an acura tl

Pics of his car. Part GS wannabe, part Benz wannabe, it looks like a fake balla or something.

Rims to big, the dish is to much for a car like this. These rims belong on big bodies, like the LS, S-class etc

GS veilside spoiler. Veritek has on on his GS, where IT BELONGS.

WIth exhausts that big, it must be RWD. Or AWD. Must have a V-8. Or V-10, Better yet, V-12. Yeah, those are V-12 twin turbo exhausts.

Though, this car takes the cake for wannabe's. WOuld ya'll be mad if I replaced my car with a Tl for 15k, then made a 3k GS headlight conversion, 18k total and save me some bucks.

His car looked so much better stock. I also think that TL w/ GS headlights looks better, although it is a little weird to look at.

3. Tacky PAINTED wind deflectors
4. Benz style grille
5. Bondo-King aero package

I think it looked BETTER when it was underconstruction!!! I do not know why someone would mess up a perfectly fine car with those mods, but oh well, you how we stuck up ClubLexus members can be!!!

Why does having taste make you STUCK UP in the eyes of tasteless people?

rominl,

I don't really understand your reason for posting someone else's pictures in a lexus forum. I think its a complete jack move. But I guess if it makes you and your lexus buddies feel better to rip on other peoples rides than that's cool GROW UP!!! I can't say I'm a huge fan of the car either, but I would never post a link to someone elses car for other people to rip on

Oh yeah, I'm VTEChump from acuraworld, you can go ahead and ban me over there if you'd like, homo

I dont think it has anything to do with the make and model of the car, many people here like and drive Acuras (i actually cruise the Legend Forums at A/W sometimes). The fact of the matter is, when you put your car on the internet it is fair game for anyone to look at and have an opinion!! TRUST ME, when someone does some really NASTY stuff to a Lexus (like a certain GS that we all know and love), they catch the same hell!!

Your personal issues with Rom aside, don't put all CL members in a box as juvenile, cruise around and get to know folks before you judge!
