A friend (few years younger than me) who totaled his old 2002 Merc E320 bought a 2009 Mitsubitchi Gallant. He couldn't leave his Merc alone, and also can't leave the Mitsubitchi alone either. Yes it's plasti-dip, but it looks like ****. He even painted his engine bay and the exhaust shield WITH REGULAR black paint. Maybe it will go up in flames and he will buy another car and wreck it too! The gold looks like ****, and the lines are terrible. It was actually a decent looking car before he ruined it with spray paint.

He also spent $50 on a "performance chip" that wires into the MAF sensor.

His money to waste, not mine, car looks hideous. I don't know if he's going to take his prom date in the car, but if my car looked like that, I wouldn't have a prom date, or she would decide not to go when she saw it. I recently noticed he plastidiped his nice looking wheels the same gold color... Not so nice looking anymore.

I'm pretty sure a ricer would be embarrassed at this clusterfucked car.

EDIT: Not sure why the some photos automatically rotated sideways. Sorry about that.

All that time and effort and he couldn't spend an hour refinishing the headlights?

That's the mindset of a ricer...

I don't think so, I didn't see them if he had them.
That's a fad that seems to be going away, thank goodness.

They were fine. He spray painted them to give them a "matte" finish.

Spray painting headlights to make them look bad and work worse?

not the point of the pic you posted, but i kinda like the way the headlight washer "cover" looks on rx8s not sure how noticeable they are on black, but i think they look pretty good on grey.

It's to draw attention away from the fact that the front bumper is sagging on the passenger side...

I am posting this on behalf of Dom, which is kind of an addition to why this is funny. She found this car in the states. So yes I am a Canadian, posting pics from an American, of a canadian car...

Are we sufficiently confused now?

good... because so is the owner of this FRS STi
