who cares. mod your car the way you want. dont worry about what others say or else you'll be stuck driving a stock car in fear that someone might not like something.

i've seen alot of horrible stuff here by guys doing it on their own... IXI187IXI your advise is for the experienced modder who wouldn't be posting up questions in the first place.

I think IXI187IXI's point is, what's horrible to you, might not be horrible to someone else... Opinions are like #$$holes, everyone has one!
