All the high school kids love this car but everyone else is laughing. It's like real life Need For Speed Underground.

While I don't full heartedly agree with your modding choices, I can say that it is nice for the type of look you were going for. I will give you a thumbs up on that but since no one else has the courage.....I will say that 8k HIDs is ricer all the way. Not because I don't like 8k HIDs but because they are cop magnets and aren't nearly as effective as 4300k HIDs. You should have just bought some blue halogen bulbs if you were going to waste your money like that. My 2 pennies. Like I said before, that is a great paint job and everything looks good together.

I think its nice that you are driving the car you pictured in your head. Thats what we all wish to be doing. But as far as tastes go, I dont like it. I think, like many others here, that it looks too much like a Accord. If we were driving down the road together I would think it was a Honda without question. But hey the point is you are happy and thats all that matters.

i have 8000k hid's... they look really nice
and they arent ricey... in my opinon but all "rice" is what people think doesnt belong on a car really but in my opinion he wanted a tuner looking car... hes got it , it looks nice like a tuner car but its just not everyones style on here
alot of people dont like tuners.. they are the new cars just like" donk cars"
the 30 inch rims on caddys i mean i think it looks sweet but just not my style and i dont want it
but anyways unless you have 8000k lights and they dont work for you.. they arent ricey never got pulled over and i see alot at night

Have you compared them to driving with 4300k to see what you are missing? Also blue headlights suck @ss. I know it's my opinion but why would you want that crap even shining in your rearview mirror? I've had that happen to me before and it is really annoying. White light doesn't have that effect. My reasons for not liking 8000k is not just the look, it is the functionality. It's a fact that 8000k has significantly less lumens than 4300k (pure white). Headlights are for safety above all else. So why would anyone wanna sacrifice safety for a cheap look? Yes, it is a cheap look because every young ricer gets those damn blue lights thinking they are cool. That's the thing that makes a car ricey to me.


It's just like those big @ss fart cans people have on their cars. If you have a small 4 cylinder engine, why would you want it to sound like it's a monster - to intimidate people and make them respect your car? Well, it doesn't work if that's the reason for it. I actually laugh, not because I think my car is better than theirs but because their car is an imposter. Besides if I decide to run someone over with my car, I don't want them to hear me coming. LOL. Sorry for the rant but I felt the need to express myself.

Members, I'm removing a number of inappropriate comments (and responses to comments) from this thread. Let's get it back on topic with mature discussion please. I'm not telling anyone they have to like the OP's car, just if you choose to voice a negative opinion be constructive and/or polite about it.

Paintrain / SRTGT500, please check your PM and exit this thread from this point forward

to be happy with the car, or at least the way its coming along. You took so many pictures from before painting and on, so its obvious you really are excited about it. Like I said you like it and thats all that matters.
